2013 was very prolific for great projects. It is not surprising, because such a boom in the game-building always happens at sunset of the generation of consoles. Now we will tell you about the best video games of the past year in the genres FPS, TPS, RPG, Strategy, Racing, Sport, MMO and Horror. What is the best game in the world in the past 2013? Let's start to summarize.
Best FPS Game
As always, the main battle for the gaming audience unfolded between Activision and EA with their Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4, respectively. However, it is worth noting that other titles deserve no less attention. Moreover, the CoD series has long slipped into total self-copying, where, in addition to new cards and a couple of new goodies, innovations are at the very least, and Battlefield 4 looks more like Battlefield 3.5, but not a full fourth part. But to other games that can be awarded the title of best FPS, there are practically no complaints.
First of all, I want to mention the BioShock Infinite, developed by the Irrational Games studio. Colombia’s stunning scenery, 100% breathtaking atmosphere, dynamic gameplay, thoughtful characters and an incredibly high-quality story that is in no way inferior to the masterpieces of Christopher Nolan and David Fincher in the film industry, make BioShock Infinite the best FPS game of 2013.
As for the rest of the projects, Metro Last Light, developed by the Ukrainian company 4A Games, deserves special attention. The first part of the game fell into the soul of many domestic gamers in view of its overwhelming atmosphere, beautiful graphics, recreating the landscapes of post-apocalyptic Moscow, memorable characters, excellent dialogs and a good storyline. The second part only improved all these elements, making the game even more lively and interesting. Finally, Crysis 3 also came out pretty good, but was never able to achieve inner harmony. Yes, the graphics are lovely, but we don’t play it, right? As for multiplayer battles, no one was able to compete with the Swedish Battlefield 4, which was able to offer a real war in the virtual dimension with a falling skyscraper, exploding dams and buildings, full-scale air, sea and ground battles. What can I say, “Battle” for a long time no one can make full competition.
Best TPS Game
What is the best third-person action game in the world in 2013? It is very difficult to answer this question, because there are 2 projects that can deserve this award. We will call them, and which one is better, everyone will choose for himself.
Let's start with GTA 5. As before, Rockstar created another masterpiece in the TPS genre, and plus it added a huge amount of innovations. Of course, the most significant novelty was the concept of three main characters, each of which you can control at any time and in any place. What is characteristic is not just 3 stamped characters - these are 3 different personalities with their skills, friends, habits, temperament. In addition, GTA 5 can please with excellent assignment of tasks and cut scenes, a huge number of opportunities for spending time outside the story missions, a big city and exciting graphics. In general, everything is in place. In principle, it is Rockstar's offspring who can earn the award "The best game in the world of 2013".
Next, let's say a few words about the exclusive for PS3 - The Last of Us. Studio Naughty Dog, which is known for the Uncharted series, last summer pleased the gaming community with a completely new title, which grabbed the highest praise from both critics and the players themselves. It seemed that the zombie theme had already completely exhausted itself, but the developers again proved that efforts can only lead to victory. Before us opens a harsh and sad story that arose on the incinerated ruins of mankind. The Last of Us managed to tell us the dramatic story of two completely different people who found themselves together, and the dynamic gameplay, atmospheric dialogues and magnificent scenery only complement the overall picture of delight. It is worth noting that many of the famous editions of The Last of Us received an award as "The best game in the world." As for other projects, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Tomb Raider 2013 and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist turned out to be quite good.
Best RPG
And here a misfire occurred. The year 2013 turned out to be extremely mean for role-playing games, but really worthy projects were completely absent. In general, if you want, then try Pokemon X and Y and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.
Best strategy
What is the best strategy game in the world for 2013? There were two really high-quality strategies in 2013: Total War: Rome II and SimCity (2013). Both deserve the highest praise, but it’s impossible to pinpoint only one, because these are completely different games. The first is an excellent military-economic strategy, where diplomatic, economic and political systems are remarkably implemented, very dynamic and bloody battles involving hundreds of units take place, a well-thought-out system of "pumping" characters, beautiful scenery and exciting effects, a huge map and so on and so forth are introduced . At least more advantages in this game. Of course, there were some bugs at startup, but they were fixed by patches. Second, Simcity is the best urban simulation game at the moment, where many features and the relationship with other players are perfectly implemented.
Best racing game
Racing last year was enough. We will not talk about each for a long time, but we note that the best of the best turned out to be the hardcore exclusive for the PS3 - Gran Turismo 6, which has incorporated all the best in the history of the series (dozens of colorful tracks, thousands of cars, beautiful graphics), another project in the Need series for Speed - NFS Rivals, offering a peppy war between daring racers and fair police, and, finally, Grid 2 - a casual simulator for fans of naughty races with stunning graphics and physics.
Other genres
What is the best game in the world in the genres of Sport, MMO and Horror? We will not talk too much, naming only the best representatives of the genre. Among sports games, FIFA 2014 turned out to be the most successful, which is especially well implemented on new generation consoles. The best online game in the world (MMO) is Dota 2. We think that no words are needed here, because everyone knows this title. Finally, Outlast became the best horror project.
