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...

While most games set you out with the objective of committing murder, Serial Cleaner begins right after a murder has taken place. You play as a professional cleaner, a Serial Cleaner, whose job is to clean up evidence from the scene of a murder. Imagine going around in GTA V creating absolute ruckus, and a pile of bodies behind you, only to come back later and see everything spick and span. Well, now you know that the Serial Cleaner has been through the area, and that’s who you play as in this game. The game presents itself with a ton of style and the presentation is top notch. You are given an aerial view of the crime scene, and tasked with getting rid of the bodies and other evidence left around the place. The hiccup is – the cops are already here and you need to be sneaky to get a...
