January 4, 2015

In 2013 Amazon decided to try its hand at a game of the year list, with The Last of Us taking the top spot. It turns out that it was so popular that it’s created another one for 2014.

Amazon has published a Best of 2014 which includes what it believes to be the top 10 games of the year. The list isn’t based on sales, nor is it the result of user reviews. Instead it appears to be the opinion of unknown Amazon staff members.

Nonetheless, the list is solid. It includes gamer favorites, a few indie titles, as well as a surprise or two. Below are the rankings.

10. Dragon Age: Inquisition

9. Octodad: Dadliest Catch
