2017 has been a good year for gaming. We are halfway through this year, what's your top 5 games you enjoyed?

It's July 2017, we are halfway done with 2017 and so with that, it's been a great year for games release so far and I enjoy playing some of the new releases of 2017 from January to July 2017. These are my top 5 games I thought were great:

1. Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4)
2. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U)
3. Injustice 2 (PS4)
4. Mass Effect: Andromeda (PC)
5. Persona 5 (PS4)

So gamers, play anything new this year?

From this year, I've played Breath of the Wild.

Everything else released earlier than 2017.

1. Yakuza 0
2. Persona 5
3. Nioh
4. Gravity Rush 2
5. BotW

Next month is going to be insane with Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, Sonic Mania, and Yakuza Kiwami.

Number one for me has to be DLC of all things, DkSIII: The Ringed City. Such good content, a fitting end, and great bosses/ gear.

Second is Resident Evil 7 despite my dislike for it going first person view, it's still rooted as a Resident Evil game, and I'm a tad bias to a good Survival Horror. I like these games far too much lol.

The next two has been a tough road choosing which is better but third has to be Nioh, just a straight up good Hack n' Slash game that also takes a few ideas from Dark Souls but at heart plays closer to Ninja Gaiden.

Nier: Automata I rank fourth, I really like the game but can't overlook its problems. It's a great game for the most part however so will place it here.

Played some Horizon: Zero Dawn, but wasn't a fan. As for 2017 games I would have to put that in fifth I suppose considering haven't gotten anything else released this year outside of a little Gravity Daze 2, but not enough to rate it (just checked that the disc worked).

So many Switch games I want but feel my patience will be rewarded in waiting. Can't rationally invest in a handheld with two hours of battery life. It's not something I want and a New Switch will come along.

Played and finished

Resident Evil 7

Horizon Zero Dawn

Persona 5

off the top of my head this year i've bought

nier,

horizon,

gravity rush 2,

res evil 7,

prey,

wildlands,

hitman

from those horizon is the one i enjoyed the most. hard to separate prey, nier and re7. all pretty good. last would probably be wildlands. didn't like hitman but i'll give it another shot. just finally started gravity rush 2. so far so good but too early to rate

these ones:

prey

mass effect: andromeda (yeah its not the most liked, but I enjoyed it.)

Persona 5

Gravity Rush 2

Nier: Automata

That's 5, but I gotta mention:

Vanquish (PC Version)

1. Yakuza 0

2. Nier Automata

3. Horizon ZD

4. Zelda BOTW

5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Looking Forward to Sonic Mania and Yakuza Kiwami

I'm struggling to narrow it down to only 5, but here's my list for the year so far (not in order):

• Little Nightmares
• What Remains of Edith Finch
• Rime
• Candleman
• Kona
• Thimbleweed Park
• Blackwood Crossing
• Voodoo Vince Remastered
• Mass Effect Andromeda
• Forza Horizon 3: Hot Wheels DLC

Not long to wait now, unless it gets delayed_

released this year:

Prey

Endless Space 2

Everspace

Northgard

not released this year, but new to me:

Halcyon 6

Stellaris

Galactic Civilizations 3

Sonic Mania is also a day one purchase and I have yet to decide if I'll buy it on PS4 or PC? Might have to wait for the reviews say.

@davillain-: Can't see it being as great as something like Owlboy for a good callback to retro gaming, but also can't see it being worse than Shadow of the Beast (remake) or Mighty No.9. So my hype level for Sonic: Mania isn't that high, just want a reasonably good 2D platformer, much like Shantae: ¹⁄2.

Horizon, Breath of the Wild, and Resident Evil VII. REVII was AMAZING in Virtual Reality. Totally justified the purchase of the PSVR.

Hmm, it´s strange if you look at single player there has been a bunch of good titles, but when it comes to multiplayer which everone said was the only way gaming should move, there has been absolute nothing so far. It´s the same shit over and over again, Overwatch, COD, Battlefield, just pointless shit.

But i can agree that so far it´s been a ok year.

In no particular order:

Hollow Knight

Nier: Automata

Horizon: Zero Dawn

What Remains of Edith Finch

Resident Evil 7

Indeed, it's been a stellar year for games so far. I've reviewed the first two if you'd like more to go on as well, and have linked them in their titles.

I havent really played any of this years releases, I think... Or was MEA launched this year?

But the (new) games I have enjoyed most this year...

-FFXV, Watch Dogs 2, Mafia 3, NMS, Mirror's Edge Catalyst.
