Honestly most of the big 2014 AAA releases have been thoroughly underwhelming. Titanfall, Watch Dogs and Destiny were all hyped to high heaven and inevitably fell short of expectations. They're all still good games, just not the revolutionary next gen experiences they were meant to be.
With that said I've played very few games released in 2014, I've mostly been playing slightly older titles. The 2014 games I have played and enjoyed are:
Dark Souls II - A very good game, but not a stellar masterpiece like it's predecessor. As a big Dark Souls fan I was disappointed.
Bravely Default - I'm about 24 hours into this but it feels like I'm only about a quarter of the way through the story. I like it a lot but I haven't been motivated to continue for some reason.
Transistor - My GOTY so far. A short but beautiful little game with a wonderful story and soundtrack. The gameplay is pretty unique and fun too.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax - Only got this a couple of days ago but as a huge Persona nerd I'm loving it. I still can't play it for shit but it's fun and the story is a good conclusion to the Arena arc. Seeing the other P3 characters like Junpei again is a blast.
The Walking Dead Season One - A worthy sequel to the stellar first season. The UI has been nicely polished and improved and while the story isn't quite as captivating as season one, it is still emotional and great.
There are a few titles being released between now and the end of the year I am keen for, hopefully they won't be disappointing.
