10 Games Coming Out In 2014 That Probably Aren’t On Your Radar, But Should Be

Destiny! Watch Dogs! Titanfall! That new Alien game! There's a whole bunch of next-gen wonderment heading our way this year and we're all very excited. And why shouldn't we be? Gaming blockbusters, whether you like it or not, are currently the backbone of the industry and are enjoyed by millions of people worldwide for a good reason. But what of those underdogs? The ones without the million dollar marketing budgets with which to shovel their adverts into your eye sockets. Or those fantastic hidden gems that you discovered completely by accident whilst idly cruising around Steam.

A powerful, flashy, fast-paced WWII shooter from the team that brought you… Beauty Factory. OK, maybe that’s a bad example. They also made Chicken Riot for the Wii. I bet now you’re really excited. No? Oh, well they also made something called Jewels Of The Tropical Lost Island, and doesn’t that sound great?

In fairness, we all have to start somewhere (and pay the bills), and more recently they’ve cut their teeth on some slightly more pertinent military shooters – most notably the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series. Of course, running a game on the CryEngine means it should at least look pretty decent, especially as it’s confirmed to be a last-gen only offering. It’s an interesting decision, but early indications seem to show there’s life in the old machines yet, though we can’t help noticing that, from what little we’ve seen at least, it appears to be a fairly ‘by the numbers’ shooter. FPS semi-legend Stuart Black’s departure from the project should probably ring some alarm bells, too. Might be nice to go back to the 40s though, after this deluge of modern warfare.
