Looking back, I am surprised at how many games I was able to play and complete this year, and also how many of them were actually great. Sure, it’s easy to pick holes in even the best of them, but 2017 was truly one of the best years in Video Game history. I tried to trim list list down to 10, but I just couldn’t bring myself to cut down on the games I had an absolute blast with. Even after removing games like Cryptark, Sniper Elite 4 and Endless Space 2 (which I am managing to subtly sneak in by mentioning them here), the list just wouldn’t go below 25. So I played around with the list, bunched games together and threw some in the honorable mentions. Screw it, these are great games, they need to be on this list. Play them, if you haven’t already! Yakuza Zero Come f...
With so many great video game releases this year, there’s no way that any one person could have kept track of them all, let alone play them.

So here are the top 50 awesome games you probably missed in 2017.

For many fans of early third person Role Playing Games, Piranha Bytes will be a familiar name. They were behind some of the best RPGs I played back then, especially the Gothic series. Sure, they may not hold up against todayâs action RPGs, but back then they were a rare gem. Elex is now their latest project, and an ambitious one at that. Itâs an action RPG with deep lore, tons of questing, a seamless and absolutely gorgeous massive world to explore, weighty dialogue choices, a lot of dialogues (I love that), great mix of fantasy and sci-fi, interesting post apocalyptic setting (well, technically itâs post-post apocalypse like Horizon: Zero Dawn), and a lot more that I really enjoy about it. The opening cut-scene sets the stage for the overarching story – Â a comet hits earth and decim...
