Top 10 Video Games of 2017
10 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
I feel really weird for thinking a racing game is the best game of 2017, but there are some possibilities. 1. It had a brand new battle mode that was improved with 4 new modes. As fans were upset with the MK8 battle mode. 2. They introduced wireless play! This is a mode where you can have a friend come over with their switch, and play on wireless mode! There isn't even internet needed. 3. The new characters. People were VERY happy when they heard Dry Bones had a return. Also King Boo was exciting. and Bowser Jr to come, after SOMEHOW he WASN'T in mk8. that's all for now FOKES. CYA LATERM+12
How is this game so high? It just added loads of useless characters (I'm looking at you Pink Gold Peach) - MagmaFoxM+6
It's really fun. I sometimes steal my brother's Switch just to play it. - AbsoliteM+2
Probably not worth double dipping on if you had the game on Wii U (all 3 of you out there), but still a great game. Graphically, it destroys Wii and 7, and there are a ridiculous amount of tracks available. Also, double items for the win. - Zach808
9 Injustice 2
I don't know about you but this is a pretty cool game and I don't even like playing video games!M+2
This game has to be one of the best fighting games of all time - BatmaniscoleM+2
I'm an absolute fighting game fanatic so this took me somewhere elseM+1
Just gave this game a shot, it's... something, I'll say that. The combat system kicks ass, it's far less rigid and demanding than the first one. You could never have played a fighting game before and still get into this. Not even to mention the diverse cast of characters that all have their own unique playstyles and no-skill spamming moves (looking at you, Dr. Fate).
But the story is just a disaster. If you played the first one, then you'd understand. This whole story is just Batman and co. doing a trust exercise with Superman so they can stop Brainiac, all the while Wonder Woman goes absolutely psychotic in her fantasies and obsession with Superman to the point where it's honestly pathetic. But the thing is, nothing ever changes. There's no character growth or anything beyond Supergirl, Batman and Superman just go back to fighting after defeating Brainiac. It's a ludicrously underwhelming arc, and brings a game that could have been practically perfect down to just being decent. - WonkeyDude98
8 Nier: Automata
This game was awesome and the soundtrack was hype at every moment - McgillacuddyM+1
I love the characters and gameplay.M+1
One of the best japanese games of 20171 - Xicor12M+1
Greatest video game of 2017! - Fullwalking2
7 Sonic Mania
Played this and it's really enjoyable. They went back to basics and it's exactly what the franchise needed - AquaturtleM+5
I was never a Sonic fan. This game is seriously making me reconsider that. Godly soundtrack, addicting gameplay, and it looks amazing even though it has those 16 bit graphics. - Zach808M+1
Sonic is better than Mario sonic 06 just brought the franchise down a little bit but still way betterM+2
Better than Forces. - SonicYoshiFan64
6 Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
This game is the definition of badass, and the marketing campaigns for it were flawless - McgillacuddyM+1
Should be higher than fifa - ikerevievsM
Came out this day. - Fullwalking2
5 Persona 5
My first Persona game was the 4th one. I love the series ever since. Afterwards, I'm hoping for 5th installment, and it's finally available. Social links are improved thanks to Kawakami's confidant. Main cast is more interesting. Also dungeons are more detailed rather than generic mazes. I'm hoping that Phantom Thieves will meet Persona 4 cast.M+1
I guess I have become more lenient to Persona games now. I used to hate them, but now most of those games, including this, are good enough for me to like them. - SelfDestructM
How can it be number 5 when this is so damn good. I hope more people will try it and give it the love it deserves. - Springman440M
Persona 5 is a master piece and my favorite game this year
4 Cuphead
It's sad that this game might become a terrible fanbase soon, but other than that, this is an enjoyable game. - BlueBobYTM+11
Really unique, challenging but rewarding. A wonderful gem in this year of gaming. - cjWriter1997M+9
This game is the embodiment of what you would call endless passion. From great visuals straight out of the 1930's, even including that graining film detail, to wonderful levels of gameplay that will test your jumping and shooting skills to their absolute limit. Simply a marvelous masterpiece of a game. - VixylafoenM
It’s graphics are amazing, but I can’t say they’re better than other games, simply because this is completely different. Comparing the art style to a game like the Witcher III is like comparing a marble statue to a painting. Yes they’re both forms of art, but they’re so different it’s unfair.
3 Horizon Zero Dawn
Better than Zelda, I am not a ps fanboy but... This game has better story, graphics, music, the world is beautiful and it is not empty like Zelda's world, the action is awesome, etc. Until now, this is the best game of the year in my opinion - Ale9991M+4
Dude, graphics have nothing to do with a game being good or not. Perfect Dark is a better game than The Order 1886, for example. - vr46M
The best writing, gameplay and mechanics. This is the total package.M+3
Zelda and Mario are behind in the times. Horizon defines what a game is these days.M
Absolutely the best game this year
2 Super Mario Odyssey
Seriously? This game isn't even out yet. It's a bit early to call it one of the best games of the year. For all we know, it could be awesome, but it could also be terrible, but never assume a game is better than a whole bunch of other games released this year - PonmonM+13
I don't understand why people make comments about "this game isn't out yet! ". Think about when it IS out. Because when it is out, the section is just filled with nothing but "it's not out! " and that's exactly what happened. Think before you post.M+8
I heard Mario and Peach get married at the end! Well, AFTER Mario saves her from marrying BOWSER.M+6
I hope that's not true, because if it is, you just spoiled me the end of the game... - MaxPap
1 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
This game leaves me absolutely spellbound. While it might not be perfect, its sprawling and exceptionally-crafted open world is glorious and you're free to explore all of it (with a few minor restrictions) not long after you start the game and there's just so much to see and do. It may be a frustrating and intensely difficult game to play at times, but the game is a groundbreaking masterpiece regardless of its flaws. - PlanetDeadwingM+5
I finally got to play this game! My friend was nice enough to let me borrow his Switch and I can safely say, that this game was one of the best games I played in a long time. It seriously could be my favorite Zelda game. I absolutely love this game and I had so much fun with it. In my eyes, totally deserves the praise it gets. - cjWriter1997M+9
A generally amazing game. While I don't think it's the best game this year (hell, odds are it won't even be the best Nintendo game this year), it is absolutely a contender. I love this game. It's fun, challenging, beautiful to watch and listen to, has the best tutorial area in the series, no area feels unfinished, it's everything an open world game should be. I highly recommend it if you can get your hands on one. - idklolM
This is self-explanatory. The Legend of Zelda has been for more than 30 years, the best gaming franchise of all time. Masterpieces that tracend the world videogames. The next title will be even more amazing if they added classical Zelda elements (dungeons, items...).
Breath of the Wild was an experiment and one of the most successful. We need now a sequel with a quality like Majora's Mask and a story development like the games after.
This game is really the new Ocarina of Time in impact (even with flaws). A mold to be used.
