DDNet's Games of the year 2013: Best Visual Design award

A couple of months ago we asked you to vote on your favourite games of the year (up to the end of October, except for the blockbuster of the year award, which is still running now on the site). You've voted and now, in the coming weeks, we will unveil the results.

The process: Earlier in the year we asked you, our readers, to rank nine different games per category in order of preference (or how interested you are in a game, if you haven't played it before). We have taken those rankings, averaged them up, and the resulting list below are the top four games - three runners up and the winner.

A good visual style certainly enhances a game's experience. Whether to illicit an emotional response, charm us with cute character design, or draw us into an intense, realistic battlefield, it's the art style of the game that is our most immediate and obvious connection to any game that we're playing.

Review: Puppeteer (PS3)

Review by Matt S. 

I am really worried that many of the people that will play Puppeteer will not realise just how incredible it truly is. A simultaneous homage and parody to the kind of "high art" theatre that has driven opera, ballet and the like for hundreds of years (and, of course, classical puppet shows), Puppeteer shines at its brightest when you as the player have experienced enough of these live performance types to fully appreciate how the narrative ticks on behind the scenes.
