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

1) Elegy For A Dead World

Even if this game turns out to be a pretentious abomination (and there’s every chance it might), I will love it for what it attempted. I have absolutely no idea what genre this game occupies, and there’s very little out there to help me find out – if anything, viewing the trailer (seen below) only leaves you with more questions.

But here’s the idea, in an extraordinarily abridged synopsis: three ancient worlds are in danger of being forgotten since all the inhabitants died, but instead of sending in historians or scientists to catalogue their existence, they send in you – a poet. And so, as you explore the various 2D worlds, you are free to write whatever you like based on your experiences. In turn, these can then be uploaded to compare and contrast (and rate) other players’ experiences of them. So umm… yeah. Certainly a radical concept, but however it ends up playing, I’m sure that gorgeous hand-painted art style will be worth the trek.

Now I know you’re screaming at your laptop about all the unknown hipster games I missed out, so why not point out my omissions in the comments section below!
