35. Ori and the Blind Forest – E3 Debut Trailer

Beautiful and evocative of sorrow, this trailer tells a tale of loss, hope, and adventure through realms ruled by darkness and peril. Keep those tissues handy!

36. Overwatch – Cinematic trailer

What’s better than the announcement that Blizzard has a new IP? How about a gorgeously animated Pixar-style short film introducing said new IP?? One of the best video game trailers of 2014.

37. Saints Row IV – Independence Day Trailer

Because nothing screams “patriot” like liquefiying extraterrestrials with a well-aimed laser blast.

38. Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth – “A New Beginning” Official Announce Trailer

Them lousy humans are always mucking things up, necessitating an exodus from the very planet we call home. At least we get a good game, and a great trailer out of it.

39. Sunset Overdrive – E3 Trailer and Gameplay Demo

A majority of first-person shooters take themselves too seriously, so this trailer comes as an extremely welcome breath of fresh air. And hey, just because a game’s entire color range seems to be inspired by bubblegum flavors doesn’t mean its action can’t be as intense as your run-of-the-mill military shooter’s!

40. Titanfall – “Free the Frontier” Gamescom 2014 Trailer

Free running that makes parkour look like hopscotch, and giant robots that aren’t Michael Bay’s Transformers. Best video game trailer material!

41. Transistor – Launch Trailer

In this trailer, the elegance of the art direction is supplemented by the subdued score and cryptic narration, setting up the mood for an adventure steeped in mystery and intrigue. Extra points for the exciting gameplay footage!

42. Valiant Hearts – E3 Trailer

The horrors of war through the eyes of a military dog. Utterly heartbreaking.

43. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – “The Trail” Opening Cinematic

Before and after scenes depict Geralt as he tracks down a woman who can shoot crows through people’s skulls and turn entire armies into mush. Maybe Geralt should find a desk job?

44. This War of Mine – “The Survivor” Launch Trailer

Intertwining live action footage with scenes from the game, this trailer offers a poignant, non-glorified look at war that is hard to swallow. The maturity and respect with which it handles the subject matter goes a long way in convincing us that this is a game with the emotional depth of the most relevant war films.

45. World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor – Cinematic

Orcs are so badass, they can stare a giant demon down without even flinching. Watching this trailer kind of makes you feel like a badass too, so the best time to view it is just before you ask your boss for a raise.
