I confess, I enjoyed it more than the new XCOM 2 expansion, if only because I actually enjoyed my time with it rather than just feel stressed out the entire time. The combination of XCOM-style turn-based combat and the zany worlds of Mario and Rabbids makes for a surprisingly engaging (and funny) video game. Marrio + Rabbids Battle Kingdom was one of the best surprises of 2017. The 'battle royale' game pits 100 players against one another in a last man standing high-stakes fight across a huge map. Still, it ended up selling over 20 million copies, spawning copy-cats, and capturing the hearts and minds of players across the globe.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was in early access for most of 2o17, only officially launching on PC this past week. I thoroughly enjoyed the game from start to finish. A pretty excellent VR version makes this an even more attractive purchase. Easily one of the best fighting games of this console generation.ĭitching the third-person perspective, Resident Evil 7 biohazard turned out to be one of the more frightening games of the year even as it took several rather large steps away from its franchise roots. An excellent story made the single-player campaign way more fun than I've had with a fighting game in ages, and the excellent combat made for great solo or multiplayer play. We were all surprised by just how excellent Injustice 2 turned out to be. A game steeped in atmosphere and filled with great exploration and puzzle-solving, Prey pressed all the right buttons for me. It's a very clever sci-fi horror game that deserved far more attention than it received, in part due to Bethesda's failed review copy experiment. These are all excellent video games and there's bound to be something in this category for everyone, from tactical turn-based games to horror titles to first-person shooters, these are some of the best games of 2017.Īn imperfect game, Prey still managed to capture something of that old-school PC single-player spirit that we've come to hope for from Arkane and Bethesda. The fact that your party members all have interesting backstories and side quests only sweetens the deal.It's pretty tough to decide which games get shuffled off into the Bronze category, but honestly, you shouldn't write them off simply because they're not Silver or Gold. This ties together party composition and character advancement in a way that few other RPGs have managed. Your character doesn't have to be particularly good at anything, since party members can pick up a lot of the slack. Various perks and skills strengthen you when you're out on your own, or let you use your party members' abilities as though they were your own. One particularly interesting feature of The Outer Worlds is that you can play it entirely solo, or you can lean on your party extensively.
As the game progresses, you can build up your party members, decide the fates of various towns and eventually make weighty narrative choices that can change the fate of the Halcyon solar system. You get to create your character, choosing his or her appearance, skills and perks. The Outer Worlds isn't the only sci-fi RPG on the market, but it's one of the best, thanks to its incredible level of customization.
