Sony, whose 2018 promises a seriously strong exclusive game line-up, have had a solid year, boasting the likes of Horizon: Zero Dawn and Persona 5 while also steadily delivering sales in the hardware stakes with decent sales for the PS4 Pro and PlayStation VR.
It may struggle to match the sales of the PS4, but, as with everything Nintendo, it has a dedicated audience who have the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey to lean on two of the biggest franchises in gaming history with more ambition and scale than ever before. With the release of the Switch, Nintendo are now properly in the mix and the console is off to a strong start. A strong case could be made that there is too much to play – I am still yet to properly finish off Horizon: Zero Dawn and am sometimes too scared to even start up Steam, lest I fall down the rabbithole that is my library and all of the best games of 2017 that I picked up along the way. It didn’t exactly start off slowly, either: Resident Evil 7 set a precedent back in January and there has been an essential release almost every month since then. STOP GETTING MAD.ĭisregarding an almost endless stream of controversies, 2017 has been one of the best years for gaming in recent memory. Honestly it beats Village to be my most horror game of the year and I hope it comes to Game Pass or Humble Monthly fast so more people can experience it.NOTE: THIS LIST IS IN NO ORDER AND IS NOT RANKED. Really unsettling aesthetic and atmosphere, an intriguing story about the sin of the fathers, and the way the game plays around with visual tricks are incredibly creative. The other is Mundaun, a first person horror game inspired by Swiss myth. Incredibly impactful writing, heartbreaking and vicious storylines, and honestly one of my most favorite takes on the concept of "reborn" in years.
The Life & Suffering of Sir Brante is a text adventure game set in a grimdark medieval society where people's social status is decided unfairly and each person can die a few times before they perish for real. I personally have two lowkey indie games as my top games of the year so far. The former struck me as the first game people agreed to be a strong GOTY contender until Village released in May (Hitman 3 was a bit too niche compared to it). Surprised to see no It Takes Two and Guilty Gear Strive.
