To call 2017 a “good year” for gaming would be a grave understatement. With Zelda Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Divinity: Original Sin 2 all receiving Essential 10 review scores, and a multitude of amazing games that have captured similar critical accolades, trying to pick just one title to be Game of the Year seems like an almost impossible task. But that’s just what we’re going to try and do!
Over the course of December, we’ll be rolling a out a series of features and videos that look back at 2017, look ahead to 2018, and that list out what we collectively feel are the best games of the year. Check out the list below for our full content schedule for both games and entertainment as we celebrate the Best of 2017!
