Year context
How the year played out
2014 settled around Dragon Age: Inquisition, but the year was fragmented rather than unanimous. Dragon Age took the broad aggregate lead and added The Game Awards, D.I.C.E., NAVGTR, and SXSW, while Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor held the strongest challenger lane with GDC and a wide editorial trail. The major-awards exceptions matter: BAFTA went to Destiny, Golden Joystick to Dark Souls II, and the New York Game Awards to Wolfenstein: The New Order.
