Ranking Every Game Of The Year Winner Since 2010
6. Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014)
Dragon Age: Inquisition is a difficult game to rank. As a whole experience, it’s easy to have it fall below the likes of God Of War. It starts off slowly, with the entire first act feeling very drawn out. However, the final two acts are magnificent and the Tresspasser DLC is one of the best add ons in gaming.
It’s also more action packed and better paced than a lot of the open world RPGs that have won Game Of The Year, but that possibly came at the cost of lore. The ending with Solas felt shocking but well earned, with Tresspasser only deepening the mythology further.
It’s teaser for Dragon Age 4 was slightly overshadowed at The Game Awards by more fleshed out trailers, and BioWare’s constant reminding the Anthem is their next big project has hardly helped matters. Not to mention the botched job Mass Effect did with Andromeda. However, fans are still desperate for the sequel after Inquisition’s incredible cliffhanger.
Inquistion has more ‘wrong’ with it than a lot of games present here. But packed with so much content, it has a lot more ‘right’ too.
