Here are the Best games of 2017 (so Far so Good)

myHalo Wars 2What system(s) is it on? Xbox One, PC Despite it being eight years since the last game, Halo Wars 2 doesn’t feel like a large step from the original. It looks better and it takes into account everything that’s happened in the Halo story since the first game, but mechanically it is much the same as its predecessor. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. Everything considered, Halo Wars 2 is enjoyable – if not that innovative. Introduction

2016 is all said and done and dusted from a gaming perspective, but don’t fret - there are enough great titles coming out in 2017 to put your New Year’s resolution of getting outside more or spending less on games in some serious jeopardy.

That being said, we've gone through and compiled the list of the best games that are coming next year as well as collected the best ones that have already come out.....

The reason for this list is two-fold: First and the foremost this is that we want to give you a look ahead at the new year of gorgeous games – powered in large part by powerful hardware like the PS4 Pro and Xbox One S. Then, once we start collecting more games that deserve to be called "the best of 2017" we'll group them together by month for your perusing pleasure. Combined, this list should give you a pretty complete overview of where you should spend your free-time next year.

**Best games of January 2017 **

Resident Evil 7

Systems

PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC

The latest entry in Capcom’s survival horror series is a wild departure from its past few predecessors, but in the end that only made it better. Foregoing the guns-blazing action mentality that had come to define the series for better or worse in the past few years, Resident Evil VII came at us with a much more subdued scare tactic. A first-person horror adventure trapped in a musty, rotted house with a family of musty, rotted maniacs? If that doesn't scream nostalgia, I'm not sure what does. Resident Evil 7 was a great return to form for the series and one that's well worth your time.

For full review for this game i’ll post its later on so stay tuned.

Gravity Rush 2

What system(s) is it on????

** PS4 (yeah) **

Gravity Rush 2 was a huge sleeper hit. The original – while definitely unique in its premise and art style – didn't reach critical acclaim, but that's a whole different story here(gamers dont like critics). New gravity powers and styles make combat feel fresh and the expanded relationships give us something more to latch onto. There are still a few control problems here, as you might obviously expect from a game that involves manipulating gravity, but overall its charm and beauty far outweigh any lingering issues we might've had.

Yakuza 0

What system(s) is it on???

** PS4!!!**

Yakuza 0 is a game you didn't know you wanted from a series you might've only heard but it's downright amazing. Imagine Grand Theft Auto minus the ludicrous amount of ammunitions and adding in tons of hysterical side quests. (believe that its a game worth playing)

To that end, Yakuza 0 is a deadly serious game about some really adult material that never takes itself too seriously. You'll have just as much fun pummeling people for cash as you will playing any number of the wacky and wonderful mini games you can find throughout the massive game world. Gravity Rush 2 was this month's sleeper pick, but Yakuza 0 is this month's somehow even sleepier sleeper pick.(sarcasm,,,,,, buhahahhaa)

For full review for this game i’ll post its later on so stay tuned.

**Best games of February 2017 **

Horizon: Zero Dawn

What system(s) is it on?/?

** PlayStation 4**

The newest project from Killzone series developer Guerrilla Games, Horizon: Zero Dawn’s concept is far more unique and engrossing than the forgettable mashup of words that make up its title. (Seriously, we challenge you to leave us a more generic-sounding title in the comments below.)Guys if you have missed it dont miss it.

Thankfully, Horizon's premise was far more original.

An action adventure set in a world overrun with robotic fauna, Horizon casts you as a human hunter named Aloy who uses a mix of stealth, ranged combat, and a little improvisation to fell inorganic beasts and survive in the mecha-wilderness. Not just a unique take on an open world, Horizon pushes what the PS4’s hardware can do from a graphical level. That said, we feel that this game for sure deserves a spot in any gamer's PS4 library.

Halo Wars 2

What system(s) is it on???

** Xbox One, PC (no PS4) **

Despite it being eight years since the last game, Halo Wars 2 doesn’t feel like a large step from the original. It looks better and it takes into account everything that’s happened in the Halo story since the first game, but mechanically it is much the same as its predecessor. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. Everything considered, Halo Wars 2 is enjoyable – if not that innovative. But people i tell you what i enjoyed it and as real gamer you would love it too.

Mass Effect Andromeda

What system(s) is it on???

** PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC**

Given how the original Mass Effect trilogy wrapped up the epic tale of Commander Shepard’s battles for all sentient life with a nice little’ bow, the next installment in BioWare’s sci-fi series had us intrigued. With essentially a blank slate to tell a new story, Andromeda is set far in the future, 600 years after the events of Mass Effects 1 through 3.

In an expansive, semi open-world environment, players are tasked with exploring new planets with the aid of your own ship, the Tempest, and a customizable six-wheeled space whip called the Nomad. Of course, things don't always go according to plan in the more roguish parts of the galaxy, so you'll also be bringing your allies, laser weaponry, biotic powers, and other abilities both familiar and new to Mass Effect fans along for the ride.

Though it's the latest game in the Mass Effect franchise we're not so sure it's the greatest and you can find out why in my next post about all the games.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

What system(s) is it on???

** Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo Switch**

As expected, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was the Nintendo Switch's big launch title and it's certainly done well for itself. With good reviews pretty much across the board it's a must-have title and a great way to start off your relationship with the new Switch console.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild takes the adventuring shenanigans of Link and blows it up onto a sprawling open world where players can explore at their leisure and daring. Even the series’ trademark dungeons can be played in whatever order the player wants, making Breath of the Wild a game that is just as much about maintaining the series' status quo as it is breaking it.

While previous entries in the Legend of Zelda series like Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker have played with the concept of a large explorable map, Breath of the Wild is taking things to ambitious new heights.

You’ll get the full review in my next post.

**Injustice 2 **

When's it come out? May 16, 2017

What system(s) is it on???

** PlayStation 4, Xbox One**

Marvel ain’t the only superhero property throwing down this coming year. NetherRealm Studios’ 2013 brawler Injustice: Gods Among Us is getting a sequel in 2017, returning to the DC Comics universe to knock some serious heads. With classic standbys like Batman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman going toe-to-toe with new additions like Gorilla Grodd and Blue Beetle, Injustice 2 is looking to be a from-the-pages slugfest both fighting game fans and comic aficionados alike can really enjoy.

To that end, Injustice 2’s tagline of “Every Battle Defines You” isn’t just a dramatic piece of marketing text. Each time you step into the ring with one of the DC’s finest, that character walks away with new loot that enhances their skills, traits, or overall ability until you have a suped-up Superman tuned exactly to your tastes.

Cant wait for it!!!

**Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy **

When's it come out? June 30 2017

What system(s) is it on???

** PlayStation 4**

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is one of those games we've waited over 20 years to play – it's the not-quite-remastered remake of the game many of us loved growing up. It wasn't something we ever thought would happen considering that the game's original development studio, Naughty Dog, is deep in development of The Last of Us Part 2 and Uncharted 4 DLC, so we're thankful another developer, Vicarious Visions, was there to pick up the slack. Call us suckers for PlayStation-era nostalgia (guilty as charged) but with a year like 2016 in the recent past, it'll be nice to have something to bring us back to the good ol' days.

**Red Dead Redemption 2 **

When's it come out??

** Fall 2017**

What system(s) is it on??

** PlayStation 4, Xbox One**

One of the few sequels that can get us excited over an announcement of an announcement, Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 takes us back to the untamed, open-world expanses of the Wild West. The team over at Rockstar was kind enough to give the internet a passing glimpse of what to expect from their next stint in the saddle, showing off gorgeous stretches of untamed prairie, pristine forests, not-so-pristine settlements, and of course - a posse of armed men on horseback seemingly up to no good.

Rockstar has promised little of the next Red Dead installment, save for what the company calls “the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience,” leaving us desperate for details and counting down what seem like endless days before RDR2’s planned Fall 2017 release.

God of War

When's it come out?

2017 (Possibly?)

What system(s) is it on???

PlayStation 4

Now that is my all time favorite game developed by sony. I’m really excited about Dad of War. Er, no, I mean God of Parenting. Sorry, sorry. God of War: The Parent Trap starring Lindsay Lohan.

Whatever you want to call it i’m excited to see Kratos return to our Sony consoles in the next adventure in what has to be the most unfortunate man of all time's life. Shown briefly at E3 2016 last year, God of War follows Kratos as he travels far from his Greek homeland to the northern most parts of Europe where he encounters monsters from Norse mythology.

Most of the demo was a fight sequence but it opened and closed with Kratos teaching a young boy, who we assume is Kratos's son. How much of this turns out to be as it appears remains to be seen, however that doesn't make us any less excited to eviscerate our enemies in between lessons about the birds and the bees when God of War on PS4 comes out (we hope) in 2017.

Uncharted The Lost Legacy

When's it come out?

2017

What system(s) is it on???

PlayStation 4

OK, I’m being honest here: I have no idea what to call Uncharted The Lost Legacy. It's definitely a game. Like, definitely. But is it a standalone title? Is it the first DLC pack for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End? While it's probably more likely to be the latter than the former, The Lost Legacy is an insanely interesting spin-off from the main series that will feature two of the series' leading ladies – Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross – as they do a bit of treasure pilfering in the Middle East.

There are still a bunch of questions we want answered (why did these two team up? What are they doing over there? Where's Drake?), but I’m hoping at least some of them will be answered when Naughty Dog reveals more details about the game (DLC?) later this year.

Thanks guys i’ll post the reviews for the games that are already out stay tuned and stay blessed.
