After several games that seemed to be gearing Resident Evil back to the horror genre like RE: Revelations 2 or RE Remake, Capcom goes back to the action genre and fails miserably once again.
NHL 17 is one of the best hockey games of this generation. It doesn't feel like a slightly upgraded version of the last game, it builds upon old ground and makes it feel fresh and new through awesome new modes and great gameplay.
FIFA 17 is hands down the best FIFA game I have played in years. It nails the atmosphere and intensity of playing a match in a large arena with an energetic crowd, it introduces a great, new story mode with emotion and loads of character, and it has some of the best gameplay of the series. EA knocked it out of the park with this one (sorry, wrong sport) and has potentially changed all future EA Sports titles for the better.
If it weren't for the astounding number of glitches and lack of mission variety, this would be my game of they year. The story is captivating, the world is immersive (yet lacking content), and the gameplay is nearly flawless.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is one of the best remasters ever made and makes a classic game even better by giving it a fresh coat of paint. If you miss the old Call of Duty, this was made specifically for you.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare delivers a phenomenal campaign filled with rich characters and a stylish zombies mode, but the multiplayer feels unpolished, stale, and it fails to innovate.
If it weren't for the plethora of bugs plaguing this great game, it would score much higher. If you can look past those issues, this is a must play for everyone.
The Flame in the Flood has a unique premise and does a great job of establishing the world. Sadly, the game fails to click due to its repetitive nature.
Resident Evil 7 is the best horror and I've played in a VERY long time. I'm excited to see where Capcom goes with the series and I hope they maintain this great sense of horror.
Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is everything you know and love about the series except with a different perspective. It retains the humor and style while successfully adding a new type of gameplay.
Despite being a fun game at its core (even with some issues presented in gameplay), a number of bugs and glitches in Friday the 13th: The Game make it hard to enjoy.
A wonderful story and an intriguing world filled with eye candy that only the Elder Scrolls series could deliver.
Get Even falls short in a number of places such as its gameplay and its technical performance. The only saving grace of the game is the unique, well-told story but that can only carry it so far.
Nex Machina is quite simply one of the best games of 2017. It offers simple yet incredibly fun, fast-paced gameplay and it has immense style. Do not sleep on this game.
What Remains of Edith Finch is one of the most creative and brilliant uses of the video game medium despite not being super "gamey".
Although it boasts an impressive story and immerses you in the cockpit of a large mech, Archangel fails to be a memorable on-rails shooter in VR due to its lackluster gameplay.
Telltale's first episode of Batman: The Enemy Within shows an incredibly promising start for the rest of the season thanks to its original story, refreshing takes on iconic characters, and lack of technical flaws.
LawBreakers takes the best elements of various shooters and puts its own unique spin on them to create the ultimate shooter. If you miss the days of old-school arena shooters or want a refreshing shooter, LawBreakers is the game for you.
Cities: Skylines is the spiritual successor to Simcity you've been waiting for.
Madden 18 innovates in a lot of areas and while it fumbles with some of the modes, it manages to make up for it with incredible gameplay, visuals, and online play.
