My personal favourite of 2017 (more like biggest surprise to be honest) is Prey. I haven't heard about this game until you guys at gameranx made a Before You Buy on it. I bought it for only 22 bucks a couple months later and I was amazed by how good it was. The amount of ways to get to your target, the interesting setting and story and just the general freedom the game gives you made it an extremely fun and (mildly) spooky adventure.
I agree with you Xeno 2. It's really addictive and I am so glad I got a switch so I could play this. It's probably worth the price of the console in my opinion.
Nabinani 777 I thought it was overrated, in my opinion. It didn’t really have much new. The world was amazing and so was the idea but I thought the gameplay and stealth was identical to many other console games.
Harry Nicholson well it’s the first wide-world game I’ve ever played and I felt there were a lot to explore in that game. And the story was very interesting to learn.
Harry Nicholson stealth is really not a big part of the gameplay it's something that you can use to get away if the machines fuck you up but the combat was really fun with the bow + spear and playing around with different elemental effects against the machines anf putting traps or even disarming them and using their own weapons against them ( the 2 disc launchers from the thunderjaws back). The gameplay and story were really refreshing and something different brought to the table, don't know what you have played mate
Blue It really should've won GOTY for sure! But I guess for some people the game was more special than others but tell me rn that how can you not love the story and the music of the game??
Great list, most times I find that I don’t agree with what people think were the top games of whatever year. Yours however really hit everything that I was thinking and looking for aswell. Great to have you back jake.
My top 5 games I played (or games I just now got around to play that year) and yes I know I'm late to a lot of these. 1. Witcher 3 2. Final Fantasy IX 3. Persona 5 4. Kingdom Hearts 2 5. DDLC (pls no judge it suprised me) What I still need to play from 2017 1. Nier Automata 2. Mario Odyssey 3. Breath of the Wild (and the rest of the Switch library) 4. Resi 7 5. Cuphead
shivanash bhola zelda can just GTFO because you can't even compare the game! I mean me and my friend were arguing about whether Nier:Automata or Horizon Zero Dawn was better (this was b4 the both games got released) but both of us agreed for sure that Zelda is nowhere close to those 2 games!
My top 5: 1. Breath of the Wild 2. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 3. Super Mario Odyssey 4. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia 5. Horizon: Zero Dawn Games I need to play: Wolfenstein II, Persona 5, Injustice 2, etc.
Mechanical_Meme Persona 5 is so fantastic. I’m at about the 60 hour mark right now and I’m in love with the game. It really picks up around the 5th hour but I love the beginning as well
Mechanical_Meme yeah it’s a 10/10 for me. As long as you don’t mind a lot of reading and some minor pacing issues than you are in for the most stylish game with the best soundtrack and an awesome engaging story with fun, challenging combat
My top 5 1. The legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild 2. Cuphead 3. Doki Doki Literature Club ( Yeah, I know it sounds weeby but if you have played it you know what I’m talking about) 4. Super Mario Odyssey 5. Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch
Rawr Dino No, I hadn’t played that many games last year but I did play a lot of Skyrim when it came out for the switch even though I have already played that game so many times. The weird thing is that I have never actually finished the main story...
My game of the year? Injustice 2... Id never expected a fighting game to be one on my fav games. I just keep coming back to it and the customization is amazing
This year was absoulutely insane in terms of quality releases. My top 4 games from this year (Super Mario Odyssey, BotW, Nier Automata and Persona 5) may just all be in my top 10 games ever.
This is so timely! The shittiness of the first quarter of 2018 has made me nostalgic for the simpler just badness of 2017, so this actually works for me. I loved Horizon and Origins in 2017. Shout out to Injustice 2 as well. Madden got a ton of hours for me because it’s Madden and I’ve loved it since 06.
So glad you said socom us navy seals. That game was amazing. First real console online game. Socom 2, fishhook!? I’d love to see s modern version of that franchise.
My top 10 1. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 2. Breath of the Wild 3. Resident Evil 7 4.Super Mario Odyssey 5. Persona 5 6. Injustice 2 7. Horizon Zero Dawn 8. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle 9. Sonic Mania 10. Fire Emblem Warriors
My list Persona 5 TLOZ: BOTW xenoblade chronicles 2 Danganronpa v3 killing harmony Pokemon USUM Mario odyssey Fire emblem echoes SoV Horizon zero dawn Cuphead DDLC
Hey Jake never stop what you do legend. I’m guessing no racing games but hey that’s cool I’m a big boy lol. And my games of year will be so different to yours, skyrim still there as I still play it lol
Divinity Original Sin 2 is easily my number 1 for 2017. Have played through the story twice now, first time on co-op with a friend. Such a great rpg and easily one of my favorites.
My favourite game of the year is one that sadly didn't get enough exposure. A Hat in Time. One of the best games I've played in years and it was sad to see reviewers not even give it a try, even when it was Overwhelmingly Positive on steam. Wished Gameranx did a before you buy on it so more people experienced it, but then I wouldn't be surprised if they've never played it.
My game of the year was super mario bros 2. Extremelly innovative, excellent character designs and animations and excellent music. Can't go wrong with super mario bros 2
Degrees Below Hey! He at least said its soundtrack was amazing plus the satisfaction of it winning RPG of the year AND being nominated as GOTY is more than enough for me :D It even won best RPG in the gameranx awards!
My favourite games in no order Mario oddyesey Zelda Botw Cup head Mario and rabbids kingdom battle Resident evil 7 The evil within 2 Nier automata Persona 5 Wolfenstein 2 Hellblade senuas sacrifice
Don’t play many games, but I recently got more into it, so: 1. Persona 5 (this might be my favorite game) 2. Breath of the Wild 3. Mario Odyssey 4. NieR: Automata
1. Persona 5 2. Nioh 3. Nier Automata 4. Horizon ZD 5. Dead Cells (Really like this game and come back every time it updates) Played the BotW until the end of the "water temple" and stopped. I don't know why, but I'll come back for sure, but just thought it was just a good game so far. Also the temple of the water beast was the most interesting thing I saw. It was awesome
Pretty great list to be honest. A few I have yet to play (like Nier and Hellblade, etc.) , but they're in the ole backlog. I'd probably put BotW at number 1 too, with Horizon close behind.
just letting you know if you like xenoblade chronicles 2 you will absolutely love xenoblade chronicles 1. The story and world is much more engaging and theres a small tie in between the two that not many people would notice unless they played it, so I would definately recommend picking it up
my top 10 (not all released in 2017) but games i played in 2017 10. horizon zero dawn 9. cod ww2 8. fifa 2018 7. final fantasy 15 6. dark souls 3 5. rise of the tomb raider 4. bloodborne 3. shadows of war 2. ac origins 1. witcher 3
1. Persona 5 2. Resident Evil 7 3. Doki Doki Literature Club 4. Injustice 2 5. Halo Wars 2 Persona 5 was my first Persona game, and it is a god damn masterpiece.
my favorite game this year is with out a doubt Super Mario Odyssey, I just can't put it down even after I've done so much I just want to go back and do more stuff, I also really enjoyed Legend of Zelda: BOTW
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK! Just playing a little catch up here.
BECAUSEVIDEOGAMES welcome back jakey
Pizzas cold.
BECAUSEVIDEOGAMES welcome back
BECAUSEVIDEOGAMES i hate anime (bring it on bitches(not you me boi jake,your fine))
OldPMI2018. Don’t think I won’t put this on every social media platform until my dream becomes a reality
My personal favourite of 2017 (more like biggest surprise to be honest) is Prey. I haven't heard about this game until you guys at gameranx made a Before You Buy on it. I bought it for only 22 bucks a couple months later and I was amazed by how good it was. The amount of ways to get to your target, the interesting setting and story and just the general freedom the game gives you made it an extremely fun and (mildly) spooky adventure.
DAN[GER] you definetly haven't played much games if prey is your favourite
DAN[GER] I would love to play prey. But i'm just a poorman.
i need to buy this too, thanks for heads up
Prey is an amazing game but I think it doesn't give freedom as much as Dishonored or Deus Ex. But yeah story and level design is great.
DAN[GER] it was so underated
P5 - Splats - Zoldos - Marios - Dokis - Niers - ZeDawns - Pyre - GravityKatsnRavens - Niooooooohhhhhs - SportTurismos - Uncharted: India - ResidentFamilyVIIs - HellBladeos - HYAKYUZA ZERO - Tekken Security 7 - DiggSteamWorlds 2
Great year, but P5 doe
oh man, SteamWorld came close for me. So so good and addictive.
Thanks to your review i bought xenoblade 2 with my switch 2 weeks ago and im sooooooo hooked, thx☺
hell yea! That's what I like to hear.
juho mäensivu same here I brought mine last week and I'm loving every second of xenoblade thanks Jake!
JAKE BALDEAGLE BACK AT IT AGAIN
A like from Jake= Free ticket to heaven??
thats what I've heard... hope its true
I agree with you Xeno 2. It's really addictive and I am so glad I got a switch so I could play this. It's probably worth the price of the console in my opinion.
You had one job.
WHERE IS MARIO ODYSSEY? That game was life changing.
I'm including past games that i played for the first time last year:
5. Horizon Zero Dawn
4. Battlefield 1
3. AC Origins
2. Overwatch
1. The Witcher 3
That is almost my list too. Nice one Jake!
I feel like Horizon Zero Dawn is the most under appreciated game in 2017.
Nabinani 777 I thought it was overrated, in my opinion. It didn’t really have much new. The world was amazing and so was the idea but I thought the gameplay and stealth was identical to many other console games.
Harry Nicholson well it’s the first wide-world game I’ve ever played and I felt there were a lot to explore in that game. And the story was very interesting to learn.
Nabinani 777 why? the game sold 7.6mil copies it's playstations most successful new IP
Harry Nicholson stealth is really not a big part of the gameplay it's something that you can use to get away if the machines fuck you up but the combat was really fun with the bow + spear and playing around with different elemental effects against the machines anf putting traps or even disarming them and using their own weapons against them ( the 2 disc launchers from the thunderjaws back). The gameplay and story were really refreshing and something different brought to the table, don't know what you have played mate
Admyr 6 Metal Gear Solid? Okay, the game was successful, but it’s just the media. I thought that there weren’t many that liked it.
My top 3
3. Cuphead
2. Neir automata
1. Persona 5
Rawr Dino great choice in my opinion nier should have won game of the year:D
Blue It really should've won GOTY for sure! But I guess for some people the game was more special than others but tell me rn that how can you not love the story and the music of the game??
“And my number one is: STAR WARS Battlefront 2!”
Eduardo Garcia you have no idea what you just said there....
Great list, most times I find that I don’t agree with what people think were the top games of whatever year. Yours however really hit everything that I was thinking and looking for aswell. Great to have you back jake.
I don't know why people hate xbc2. That game was amazing.
