Infamous: First Light (2014, PS4) - Neon Night Rider

Often, downloadable story content in single player games feels either tacked on and lazy (Mass Effect 3's Omega) or something that should have been included in the first place (Asura's Wrath's entire final chapter.) Some companies do manage to get it right; Dark Souls' Artorias of the Abyss content is among the game's best, and the Left Behind side story in The Last of Us is wonderfully made. First Light, a downloadable prequel for Sucker Punch Production's Infamous: Second Son, manages to take things even further and surpass the base game in many ways.

The Last of Us Remastered (2014, PS4) - Family and Fatherhood at the World's End

When Naughty Dog's The Last of Us released on the PS3 in June of 2013, it was an immediate hit with critics and audiences alike and would go on to end up on numerous Game of the Year lists. It's a typical story told unusually well, with gameplay that never betrays the actions of its characters. It's a wonderful audio/visual experience with great pacing and only a single part that kind of drags. A little over a year later, the Remastered edition was released on PS4, offering a smoother, prettier game that shouldn't be missed.

Hohokum (2014, PS4) - Worms With Friends

Of all the weird indie games to come out in the last few years, Keita Takahashi's Noby Noby Boy remains one of the all time strangest. More of a toybox than a game, Noby puts players in control of a stretchy worm monster as it consumes the world and ruins everything in a quest to reach the depths of space. It's bizarre, confusing, and I loved it. Hohokum, a new title by Sony Santa Monica and indie developer Honeyslug, looked to be almost a spiritual successor. Like Noby, it's got a simple, abstract art style, no immediately clear objectives, and stars a wormy beast. While pleasant and very relaxing, Hohokum never quite reaches the level of weird achieved by 2009's Noby.
