Horizon Zero Dawn remains one of the best games of 2017 and The Frozen Wilds complements it with a decent chunk of new content.
While the story leaves a little to be desired, Layton's Mystery still makes for an enjoyable entry into the puzzling series.
While Monopoly for Nintendo Switch doesn't feel like a big enhancement of the three-year-old iteration that came before, the flexibility of options it retains does incentivize those initially put off by the game's infamously, never-ending demeanor.
Spintires: MudRunner doesn't make a lot of sense on the surface.
Super Lucky's Tale is a fine 3D platformer.
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back may not be perfect, but it's easily the best Bubsy game ever made.
Call of Duty: WWII will be fascinating to study from a business standpoint: will consumers embrace the product they have long been clamoring for and how will Activision handle its business strategy moving forward? Will they dive exclusively back into World War II until gamers tire of it again or cycle between different eras from here on out? Whatever happens, there's a fantastic game at the center of this future case study that proves that no matter the ballyhoo, Activision will ensure a superb experience is delivered.
Summon Night 6: Lost Borders excellently brings together visual novels and tactical RPGs. Fans of the visual novel portion may be turned off a bit by the English voice-over work, but the story itself is amusing.
Mario has over thirty years of history behind him and yet Odyssey manages to mix those feelings of old titles with new ideas for a fresh take on a genre everyone is familiar with.
Destiny 2 has its share of issues, a lot of them to be frank, but it's still an entertaining adventure that the developers have properly improved.
Time Recoil is an outstanding top-down strategy game that gives off the appearance of a top-down shooter.
Poi's greatest weakness lies in its sound design, but the core game is well-crated and a lot of fun.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus delivers an enjoyable action packed first person shooter experience.
The extra year of development has helped Assassin's Creed as a whole, as Origins is the next level for the series.
It's starting to feel pointless to review Just Dance titles since it's hard to grasp what exactly Ubisoft is trying to accomplish with them at this point, but darn it I've come this far and I'm going to see this through, even if it takes until Just Dance 2049.
When all of the parts are added together, it becomes apparent that Rogue Trooper Redux doesn't quite meet the standards of modern day gaming.
Yomawari: Midnight Shadows is wonderful, strange, scary, sad, creepy, startlingand cute in equal measure.
Elex is an unfortunate case where it appears to be too ambitious for its own good.
Nights of Azure was a surprise gem of 2016, giving Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon high expectations to live up to.
Aside from the simple fact it exists, the biggest surprise about The Mummy Desmastered is that it's actually quite good.
