Despite the fact that, according to many gamers, the gaming industry is turning into a stationary and monotonous swamp, many of the projects presented to us over the past three years deserve respect. Today we provide a list of games 2014-2015 on PC, which everyone should play.
Economy
The first in our list of games for 2014-2015 on PC will include an economic strategy. This game has a long history, but continues to regularly please its fans. The Tropico 5 application, which was released on May 23, 2014, is the next game in the series where you are a dictator on a small island. You have to build your own city, write him a constitution and laws.
For fans and longtime fans of the series, multiplayer has finally been introduced. Now, even having developed your city to the maximum, you can continue to compete with your opponent. In addition, the Tropico 5 was completely redesigned graphics and gameplay, but even this could not spoil the experience of fans and new players. What else can participants see?
- The development of the state will include 4 epochs from the 19th to the 21st centuries.
- "A family". Now your starting character may have a family that will continue the work of the dictator in the event of his death. They develop, gain skills and can hold any position.
- Research. In Tropico 5, you don’t have to worry about demolishing buildings and rebuilding the city’s infrastructure. When researching, you can upgrade old buildings without rebuilding them.
- Now you can build a real merchant fleet for exchanging goods with neighboring islands.
- The island on which you start the game will be completely closed. By exploring it gradually, you will be able to discover new resources and encounter the indigenous people.
- Throughout the game you will have to complete more than 100 tasks.
- Multiplayer supports the actions of 4 players on the same island.
In general, the developers got a decent continuation of the legendary game, and the vast majority of positive reviews suggest that most of the ideas appealed to many.
Military strategies
For those who prefer an aggressive policy, our list of games for 2014-2015 on PC also contains a simpler strategy. She is part of a series of games that appeared not so long ago as Tropico, but managed to win the hearts of players around the world.
Total War: Attila - this is the ninth part in the series. Unfortunately, players will not see anything fundamentally new. A total of 56 fractions are available, 10 of which have no starting provinces at all. Despite the fact that the map was expanded at the expense of the provinces, the number of cities in them decreased significantly. In addition, the developers remained true to themselves and released a rather crude game. The abundant number of bugs that the players complained about was almost a business card, however, it could not do without "amenities."
- The complete destruction of the city. This opportunity was highly appreciated by lovers of scorched earth tactics.
- You can change the names of the settlements.
- Walls were originally built in the provincial capitals. At the same time, in small settlements over time it will be possible to build their own defenses.
- Depending on the chosen faction, the ruler will have his own skills.
In addition, the developers of Total War: Attila pleased their gamers with a promise to release add-ons with new fractions of individual stylistics. However, after the release of the game, only one official addition was released, which introduced three game fractions into the gameplay.
Shooters
For fans of this genre, the list of games for 2014-2015 on PC contains its own highlight. Although this application is not a novelty. Call of Duty: Black Ops III is already part 12 in the series. The action will take place in 2065, 40 years after the events of the previous part, and will remind more of the action of a fantastic action movie than ordinary shooting.
The plot of the next part of the shooter fully continues the events of the company "Forerunner" from Black Ops 2. The player has to go through military operations with robots and biotic additions. You have to fight with an army of cybernated opponents.
Of the “snacks” added to the next part of Call of Duty: Black Ops III, it is worth noting a large amount of open space and the possibility of levitation and running along walls while maintaining combat functions.
Of the game features, it is worth noting a campaign designed for a cooperative of four people and such a fashionable "Zombie" mode, which includes two separate plots. One of them continues the story of the "Forerunner" from VO2, and the second - about four new characters.
User reviews have been mixed. In general, they can be divided into three categories - “haters”, “fans”, “connoisseurs”. The former hate the entire series as a whole, without disassembling the parts individually. The second is ready to accept everything that they slip under the name of this franchise. Well, others say that it would be better to have released a modern game on the events of the Second World War, and not a fictitious fantastic future. What is noteworthy, according to player reviews, there are no complaints about the gameplay, which is good news.
Fighting game
If we talk about this genre, then the undisputed leader is Mortal Kombat 10. The continuation of the great series was up to par, even by the standards of the most picky fans. The changed gameplay, returning to the old two-dimensional arenas, could not but please fans of the classics, and the running scale only adds drive. Despite the fact that there are only 28 characters in the game, each of them has three forms of battle, which means that the number of sets of combinations increases three times. When you change the style, you essentially get a completely new fighter.
As for the plot, it has always been a rather weak part of any fighting game. The developers promised to introduce a nearly 25-year time span into the game, but in practice it turned out that the player saw the inscription “After 20 years”, so that he becomes a direct witness and participant in five-year events.
Thus, Mortal Kombat 10 continues to delight us to this day. The developers took into account most of the wishes of the players and were able to meet them, which is rare in a modern game building.
Sport
Despite the fact that there are a huge number of sports games, none of them can be compared in popularity with football. FIFA 16 is a completely expected, but no less interesting and high-quality continuation of a series of games dedicated to this sport.
Of course, many gamers choose one part and stay with it forever, but for those who year after year acquire new parts, this time there were several surprises.
- Firstly, a trainer mode has been added. In fact, this means that the player holds a training match, in which the computer advises him what and how to do, gives tips. Each time, movements and feints become more and more difficult, as a result of which the player can easily get acquainted with the whole set of tricks.
- Added women's league. More precisely, 12 national women's teams. Now the player has the opportunity to play for them.
- Draft mode. You will be provided with 5 players for each of the positions. After choosing, you can play a match with a similarly selected team.
The remaining features that could be listed are more like an addon. Improved computer opponent AI, licensed clubs and players, 9 new stadiums, 2 Russian commentators with more than 30,000 unique phrases added.
Adventures
And finally, we left the well-known game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The history of this series is known to all, so I would like to immediately start with the features.
- You do not need to play the previous parts to understand the plot.
- Enhanced mobility and combat. You can fight on water, on horses, climb walls and overcome obstacles.
- Change of day and night, which affects the characters.
- The game world is 30 times larger than in the previous parts. According to the developers, it is even more extensive than in Skyrim.
So, we can conclude that the presented new part of The Witcher is a game that has long been loved by everyone, which is getting better every time.
Horror
This genre is one of the most difficult to master. It’s already quite difficult to scare a modern person with anything, so this subspecies of games is slowly slipping into “kill as many zombies as possible”. However, even here there are worthy representatives.
Of the relatively new games, it is highly recommended that you try The Evil Within from the creator of the Resident Evil series. A non-trivial plot, a tense atmosphere of complete hopelessness are able to pat anyone's nerves.
For those who prefer the classics, Capcom has gone a long way and for 2014-2015 released HD reissues of many Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Zero that many loved. Both parts became a real gift for those who always wanted to play these toys on a PC and not mess with emulators.
Conclusion
Based on the presented list, we can conclude that for the gaming industry is still not lost. Despite the continuation and additions to the already well-known franchises holding in the tops, they still delight the players with innovations and continue to develop, each time turning out better.
