to go back change the present if I can
and in doing so perhaps I can change
what has happened before we begin we
publish new videos every day so be sure
to subscribe for more great content for
this list we’re looking at the very best
that 2017 had to offer and trust us
there was plenty to choose from these
are the games that we’ll be keeping on
our shelves because we’ll still be
playing them well into the new year as
is the standard for our best of the Year
lists we will not be including any
remasters or expansions of any kind
number 10 Resident Evil 7 biohazard
let’s face it this game had basically
everything going against it fans haven’t
been too thrilled with the Resident Evil
franchise thanks to the lack of scarce
in re6
they were also pretty skeptical about
the new look of the game first-person
perspective a crazy country bumpkin
family instead of zombies but the game
proved to be a contender for one of the
most frightening experiences of the year
and Resident Evil firmly returned to its
survival horror roots with good gameplay
creepy environments and to dinner seem
that will basically never forget go tell
aunt Rodie that fans are satisfied who
are all you people
where’s Mia number 9 cuphead
sometimes you run into a game that’s so
charming that you can immediately tell
that it’ll be an instant classic you can
feel the love that went into every frame
here from the traditional animation that
takes us back to the 1930s to the catchy
beats that light up the rip-roarin
soundtrack you’ll also feel the sheer
sadistic nature of the developers every
friggin time you die but like most
punishing games there’s a real sense of
triumph when you finally win the day and
you’ll find yourself enjoying the
misadventures of a cup and a mug you
ever take a few tries
[Applause]

number eight Wolfenstein to the new
Colossus your execution is all over the
news
Nazis think you’re dead baby talk about
some interesting timing
Wolfenstein two picks up where the last
game left off and continues the what-if
story where the Nazis won World War two
William BJ blaskowitz returns and has
admittedly seen better days but that
doesn’t stop him from getting some
pretty sweet guns and doing what if the
Wolfenstein series does best gutting
town every Nazi on screen it’s almost
cathartic entry into the FPS genre with
crazy story moments and plenty of fast
paced action that’ll keep you on your
toes it’s exactly what you’d want out of
a video game sequel it’s bigger it’s
better but it’s downright fun would you
wanna number seven horizon zero dawn
[Music]
when we got our first glimpse of this
hodgepodge of nature and technology we
knew that it was gonna be something
great set in the 31st century our world
has been taken over by machines but
instead of looking like a nightmarish
future where killer robots have
decimated the land the world is now a
beautiful landscape of plants and
wildlife as mankind has returned to its
more primitive roots combined with a
compelling story memorable characters
and creatures that will make your jaw
drop this is a definite must-have for
ps4 owners I’m here and wherever you go
number 6 near automata
perhaps we are not so different after
all
to me we better finish this quick if
you’re looking to find some deeper
meaning to life within your
hack-and-slash games and I mean why
wouldn’t yet this is definitely the game
for you think of it as that one
beautifully stylized anime series that
doesn’t look like much at first glance
but pretty episodes and here’s just a
giant ball of feels taking place after
nears fourth ending automata features a
balance of incredible gameplay memorable
characters and an engaging story that
you’ll be trying to decipher well after
the credits roll all in all it’s an
incredibly rewarding gameplay experience
androids were designed to protect their
human masters number five divinity
original sin two
there are role-playing games and then
there’s original sin too because what a
game taking place centuries after the
first game sorcerers have now been
branded as criminals which of course
means that you are a sorcerer once you
create your character you set off on an
ever expanding journey full of side
quests intriguing characters remarkable
lands harrowing battles and enough
branching pathways to keep you busy
until they announce the third game and
even then they’ll still be room for one
to discover new things
[Music]
number four SuperMario Odyssey
[Music]
Mario games tend to be title so you can
always depend on the plots always basic
but the King plays pretty much
guaranteed to put a smile on your face
this game takes all of that precedent
and ups at tenfold
it introduces a new gameplay mechanic
that’ll make you think outside the box
or in this case the cap it also brings
us new worlds that are full of
collectibles to keep you exploring the
beautifully crafted world it’s basically
everything you’d want from a Mario game
for a new Nintendo console
number three persona 5 mankind is said
to hold the power to overturn
the most dire of
when you’re wrongfully imprisoned and
forced to live out your days in a new
town the best course of action is to
head into weird palaces off on a creepy
subway become a swanky thief and steal
hearts with a cat
sorry not technically a cat the persona
Series strikes again and has taken the
hearts of JRPG fans the world over but
this particular entry really stands out
with its art style music and sheer
amount of things you can do with the
game assuming your cat doesn’t force you
to go to bed
damn it Morgana or phantom thieves we
can stay up as late as we want number
two player unknowns battlegrounds
this scheme basically has no right to be
as addictive as it is in fact its flaws
should probably keep it off the list the
bugs the loot crate’s the fact that it’s
still an alpha and only has one freaking
map so far but it manages to do the one
thing that video games are supposed to
do be a hell of a good time up to a
hundred players fight in a battle royale
as they parachute down to the map
causing a mad dash to find enough
equipment to stay alive and take out
their adversaries it’s fast paced its
strategic and it’s the most played game
on Steam to date yeah winner winner
chicken did before we get to our number
one pick here are a few honorable
mentions
[Music]
we are more with these animals
you’re not welcome in Atlantis
[Music]
our numbers will continue to dwindle
we can no longer take ourselves much
less the survivors
number one The Legend of Zelda breath of
the wild
[Music]
open-world Zelda game there it is entry

alright alright we know this Elda
franchise has had its fair share of big
and epic games but not have been quite
this huge and this stunning to look at
the gameplay is out of this world and
you have to think about every move you
make whether it’s combing through a
puzzle filled shrine deciding what
spices to use on your food or even
deciding what clothes you want to wear
on your journey this game is an absolute
masterpiece and it’s definitely our pick
for the best game of 2017
