Almost 4 years later and I'm still crying about the ending...Beautiful game.

definitely my favorite game of the year. Although there were a lot of fantastic games, transistor stuck with me.

Transistor, Vanquish.
Those two games really deserve to be noticed.
Story, art, music and gameplay. It's what it's all about.

I wish there was an attack in game where you actually used the sword as a sword, that would be nice. It mix up my strategy where i switch between the stop time mechanic and real tome mechanic. The one i currently use is the machine gun one. Its the one i switch in and out of, along with mixing up things

I played it this week. I thought it was overhyped UNTIL i played it for myself, and i admit, this game was one of my top 5 games of 2014. the amount of combat depth is astonishing.

TRANSISTOR is my favorite game for the ps4. loved it so much. 

[Hustlamode]

Dragon Age: Inquisition and Shadows Of Mordor were my favorite games of 2014 Can't wait for The Witcher 3.

[Psychopath]

Finally a GOTY video that isn't met with unrelenting, undeserved hate

[SuperSaiyanYuca]

Transistor had fun deep rewarding gameplay that I really enjoyed, story was a bit weak and confusing but I got my moneys worth

[enzoTHEferrari]

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.
Over 102 hours I've spent on it. Not even 50% completed.

[DevinDatKid]

Shovel knight is game of the year for me that game was awesome but transistor was very good also I got the platinum

[SophieEd]

I would like this video to have more content

ppl saying in the comments that this was a let down ? what ? STFU 

[shayspott]

In no way was this better than bastion in any way

[Tragel]

why dark souls 2 should be a GOTY contender 

[CheckYourPuls]

with the amount of nintendo fangays ... obv SSB gonna win, even if there is NOTHING new about this game.

[rodrigopacheco]

this game was another letdown for me...Story was weak, while trying too hard. The combat while innovative, could very much be exploited, and with such a few running time, you never got the sense you were getting better at it. Great music, great artwork, great style, but other than that, i dont see much. Its another Child of Light. What a bad year for gaming.

[michealxboxslayer]

This will probably win since Anita Sarkeesian has all of the gaming world by the nuts

[shayspott]

This game wasn't that good, honestly I expected more I was let down like every other game

[Shujima]

As if Destiny is not on this list. It's hands down GotY for me.
