And yes there is an editorial comment (or three) in there
But nothing should be considered to reflect badly on the awesome porting jobs you guys do

I haven't played a whole lot this year, so my vote goes to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. This game is basically stopping me from playing anything else right now (as did BL1 and BL2).
Yeah, it's a lot shorter than the other 2. DLC seems pretty lackluster. Farming is an issue due to lot of one-time bosses. Nonetheless, the game is fun, has the trademark humor, and fits well within the Borderlands series.
The other games I've played this year were older games. I would like to take a look at Geometry Wars 3 though.

not sure if Guacamelee came out this year, but I enjoyed the crap out of that guy. Otherwise, I think the only 2014 game I've played for sure was Tomb Raider and it was great.
I've been trying to catch up on all my Humble Bundle purchases and most of those came out years prior. Rogue Legacy accounted for a ton of gameplay (on NG+3). Gone Home was a weird one. Weird doesn't begin to describe Jazz Punk. Still got a ways to go!

One thing worthy of praise in this year of bug ridden releases is how 2K games seem to have avoided being plagued by problems (as far as I know) as well as some of the indie devs. If publishers expect to see day one sales they should equally expect to launch rigorously refined products.
My list is more a reflection of what I've bought and hope to play soon rather than games finished:
1) Shadowrun DragonFall
2) Jazzpunk
3) Vanishing of Ethan Carter
4) The Banner Saga
And I guess because I helped to fund it:
5)Phoenixdawn (for 2015)

XCOM: Enemy Within
Civilization Beyond Earth
Id add The Banner Saga as well, but I consider the iPad version to be the version to play there.
