2017 has been a wonderful year for games. We’ve seen numerous titles release this year, some disappointing, some meh, and others just downright incredible. Choosing the top 10 is never an easy task, because one has to put a lot of thought into the picks. Nevertheless, here are the ten titles I loved the most this year, for various reasons. They may not be the best games, but they sure left a mark on me, some in more ways than one. Also, I do not own a console and play all my games on the PC, so you won’t find any exclusive titles here. Without further ado, I present my top 10 games for the year 2017 (in no particular order, of course). Divinity: Original Sin 2 The eagerly anticipated sequel to the award-winning RPG. Gather your party. Master deep, tactical combat. Join up to 3 ...
Here are Sarthak’s Top 10 games of 2017: 1. Middle Earth Shadow of War It was a delight to feel so much power and be in control of a game since the Shadow of Mordor. 2. Nier Automata It is weird, yet I couldn’t keep my hands off it. 3. Call of Duty WW2 My first console was a PS2 and it was a delight to take a nostalgic trip back to WW2 with Call of Duty in those pretty graphics. 4. Zelda Breath of the Wild I played this one on an emulator on my laptop. It was pretty buggy, yet it was so so enjoyable. 5. Divinity: Original Sin 2 A perfect blend of Story, environment and gameplay. 6. For Honor I always wanted to play as Viking and For Honor did a fantastic job. However, I’m not in favour of them removing ‘u’ from ‘honour’. #Britist_English_Rules 7. A...

Every year there are games that we are all hyped up and eagerly waiting for, and every year some of the drop the ball. So here are the top 10 most disappointing games of 2017. These aren’t necessarily bad games, these are just game we expected better from. Mass Effect Andromeda This one is probably the most obvious pick. To be honest, I did enjoy Mass Effect: Andromeda’s combat and exploration a lot. However, I was really hyped for this game, especially because I absolutely loved the original trilogy. Andromeda, sadly, never reaches the same heights. Star Wars Battlefront 2 At it’s core, Star Wars Battlefront 2 is an enjoyable game. It’s just so disappointing to see how badly EA screwed this over with their insatiable greed. As a shooter, it’s probably one of...

From the first moments we were introduced to Trico many years ago, there was a special connection between that mysterious creature and its beholder. After we reannounced The Last Guardian at E3 2015, we explored the idea of a Trico fans could interact with. What became the Trico projection wall was something that many of you might have seen at a subsequent PlayStation Experience show. Still, even after the launch of the game, we wondered about ways to bring across the special bond between Trico and the boy in even more engaging ways. The launch of PlayStation VR offered a tantalizing means to do exactly that. We are proud to announce The Last Guardian VR Demo, a special virtual reality experience VR set in the unforgettable world of The Last Guardian: one filled with haunting ruins and bre...
Donut County is a game where you play as a hole in the ground. It still feels ridiculous to say it, because it shouldn’t have worked. You move around a tiny hole, you make stuff fall in, and the hole gets bigger. Often you have to wiggle things inside that are just a bit too big. Eventually you can demolish buildings, drain rivers, and star in your own adorable disaster movie. It’s as simple as that, or at least… that’s how it started. I’ll be honest. When I first prototyped Donut County in 2012, it started as a joke. It was the weekend of Molyjam, a 48 hour game jam dedicated to making games inspired by jokes inspired by the work of the ambitious game designer Peter Molyneux. The idea was simple, to make a game where you controlled… nothing. Well, the absence of something. Okay, a hole in...
That’s another PlayStation Experience in the books! And we’ve been holding onto some especially exciting news. Hot on the heels of this year’s smash hit Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, we’re making another PlayStation fan dream come true: a proper, PS4-grade resurrection of the original MediEvil just in time for the game’s 20th anniversary.

As the resurrected Sir Daniel Fortesque, players defend Gallowmere from the evil forces of Zarok, a sorcerer with the power to control the dead. The game is noteworthy for its unique horror-comedy tone and its early contributions to the world of 3D gaming. It’s still a fan favorite, and I’m proud we can...
