The Final Besties Ever: 2014’s best games battle it out

This is it. The Besties have been on hiatus — which intimates a brief pause in an otherwise regular schedule, so let’s call it a “temporary cancellation” — for a few months now, but we’ve gathered the crew back together for one last hurrah. We’re going to talk about video games for a very, very long time, y’all. In this four-hour series finale, we’re pitting 2014’s best games against one another in unyielding combat to the death. (This isn’t Polygon’s official Game of the Year lineup, though — those will be announced soon!)

For those that have stuck with us from the beginning, through the exploratory episodes, the Chris Grant-a-Tron period, the video specials and countless horrible, imaginary special guests — thank you. Sorry it got so weird there, in the middle. Now: Let’s close this out right.
