With some time and distance, 2017 may end up meaning for video games what 2007 or 1999 meant for film. It was a year that started from a place of incredible creativity, even in the doldrums of January, with Yakuza 0 and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard both steering their respective series off in unexpected directions. Then, week after week, we saw something new push every genre, every tired franchise, every burgeoning gem of an idea forward.

Common knowledge says that a new console denotes the beginning of a new generation. That the Switch’s inaugural year brought with it some of Nintendo’s finest work to date certainly plays into that rule, but even if the system had never happened, this would be the year when creativity and ambition took a drastic leap forward across the board. Whether enabled by new technology or not, the concepts of what a developer can do with a genre, who can be the starring character of a game, what a game is allowed to say or portray, even how players play have all been shattered this year.

We live in a gaming landscape where a sincere debate now rages as to whether the best way to play an RPG is in 4K resolution, as a portable title, or in virtual reality. The face of gaming has never looked so much like the future as it did this year. The best games of 2017 aren’t just exemplary at being what they are, but extraordinary in showing us what is now possible. Justin Clark

25. Assassin’s Creed Origins

During the time last year when Ubisoft didn’t release a title in its Assassin’s Creed series for the first time since 2007, the developer took the entire formula back to the drawing board, throwing out virtually everything except the idea that you’re a person in a hood who assassinates bad guys. The shackles that have long since held the series back from true open-world freedom—the locked structure of missions, the claustrophobia of its locales, its counter-heavy combat—have all been broken. Now, the mechanics favor the ingenuity of players looking to conquer their enemies in their own unique ways. Led by one of the series’s most endearing and honorable protagonists—the vengeful Medjai Bayek and his loving, bloodthirsty wife, Aya—Assassin’s Creed: Origins paints a grand picture of political intrigue, betrayal, and even the strained intimacy of a marriage in wartime, all in the shadow of a meticulous recreation of ancient Egypt in all its golden glory. Exploring Egypt at the height of its opulence, a place ruled by people of color in power and splendor, is a beautiful experience all its own. And the fact that the actual gameplay feels so fresh and new makes the game absolutely spectacular. Clark

24. Metroid: Samus Returns

It’s been seven long years since the last proper Metroid title, and 10 since the last one that wasn’t a slap in the face to the series’s fans. Metroid: Samus Returns would be an absolutely golden addition to the franchise even if fans hadn’t been waiting so long for Nintendo to deliver a back-to-basics Metroid game. But this is much more than a much-needed remake of the decrepit Metroid II. Samus Returns is a Metroid title with eyes on the future, injecting new blood and fresh ideas into just about every tried-and-true aspect of the series without betraying a single thing that made players fall in love with the series to begin with. The parry system and a more precise system of aiming bring the combat more in line with Metroid Prime’s up-close-and-personal brawls than the staid running and gunning of 2D Metroid games past. Meanwhile, the game emphasizes the silent, lonely horror of Samus being trapped on an alien world in a way we haven’t seen since Zero Mission, with the bright, luminescent colors camouflaging the very real dangers the reimagined planet of SR388 holds in store. We’ve all missed Samus for the past decade, but MercurySteam has thrown one hell of a welcome back party for her. Clark

23. Tacoma

Tacoma’s namesake space station is derelict and you’re tasked with exploring it to find out what went wrong. But Fullbright’s follow-up to Gone Home defies the standard tropes of similar games from the outset, utilizing a 3D virtual simulation that allows one to relive the final days of the station’s crew. The game’s unique interface allows the player to move from room to room around the ship to overhear personal and group conversations. The exchanges between individuals form a coherent and fascinating narrative, one which addresses modern ideas about the power of corporations and the ethical considerations (or lack thereof) with regard to their lower-class workers, that proves just as engaging as the incredible amount of detail that went into the characterization of the station itself. Each character has their own history and motivations, with appropriate reactions to the disaster that befalls them. If Tacoma’s ultimate outcome seems too optimistic, consider that it earns its victory without feeling saccharine, and serves as a pleasant and forward-thinking antidote to the ugliness and ignorance of the world as it stands now.

22. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

The year’s surprise breakthrough multiplayer hit is the successful execution of the battle-royale subgenre of multiplayer shooters indebted to Kinji Fukasaku’s namesake film. One hundred individuals find themselves trapped on an island where they must fight to the death using whatever weapons they can find, until only one person remains alive to claim victory. The random placement of weapons and resources across the large, detailed island means that every time you play the game results in a unique experience. And so as to ensure that there is an inevitable end in sight, the game bombs parts of the island, shrinking the playing area and as such forcing opponents to close in on each other for the final confrontation. The way the game vividly and deviously constricts the kill zone that contains the combatants forces you to constantly be on your toes, ensuring that the tension throughout PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is consistently ratcheted up until it practically becomes unendurable. Aston

21. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

A remake of an early 1990s game that didn’t make it to the United States, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia carries modern relevance as a tale of two heroes who, despite being long-lost lovers, hold very different political philosophies and goals. This polarization involves lines drawn along class and spiritual lines, so when you alternate between controlling the respective armies of the protagonists, the combat is distinguished by overarching sentiments as much as it is by the characters’ abilities. The battles take place in a world where two imperfect gods have influenced populations to the point where citizens don’t realize how their divisions lead to their own downfall. Developer Intelligent Systems delivers a tough turn-based RPG free of gimmicks like dating systems, but more significantly, the game’s story is heartfelt and gives equal attention to the humanity of the opposing parties.

20. Cuphead

The game-design principles that guide Cuphead are at least 20 years old, building off of ideas that have laid stagnant since games like Contra and Gunstar Heroes fell out of vogue. The principles guiding its art and aesthetics, however, are closer to 90, and haven’t seen a resurgence since Termite Terrace took the baton of wacky anything-goes animation as far as they could run with it. The ability to live and play inside such art, however, is a pure 21st-century miracle. Cuphead brings a newfound respect for the immense work and boundless creativity that guided the most impressively animated cartoons of the 1930s, while also acting as a Trojan horse for a brand of trial-and-error gameplay of which there’s not nearly enough in the current landscape. More than just a mere imitation, just watching Cuphead in motion is to get a magnificent crash course on artistry, in this or any other medium this past year. Clark

19. Stories Untold

Like an interactive version of The Twilight Zone, Stories Untold relates a simple moral story but masks it with clever misdirection, using familiar game genres and seemingly mundane tasks as a vehicle to catch players off guard. A text-based adventure game, which players boot up on a chunky computer from the 1980s, gets increasingly meta; a scientific experiment, running from the computers inside a laboratory, blooms into something quite otherworldly; and a radio outpost in the middle of a snowy nowhere, where another computer decrypts and responds to transmissions, might not be as isolated as it seems. For the most part, players cannot move from the desks that they sit at throughout the majority of the game’s four episodes or change the camera’s fixed perspective. And the particular framing of the shots that do see you sitting in front of a computer screen are so canny that you’re afflicted with a sense of dread as you helplessly type away, waiting for what may enter the room you’re in. This is the kind of psychological story that interactive mediums were made to tell. Riccio

18. Destiny 2

Destiny 2’s biggest improvement over its predecessor isn’t what’s been added (a coherent plot) or preserved (the sublimely satisfying gunplay), but what’s been removed. Players aren’t given speeder bikes until they’ve completed the game, which makes the game less about racing on an endless loot treadmill from one mission to the next and more about embracing the strangeness of its alien worlds. What this means is that the environments now rise up to match the strength and detail of the gunplay. Destiny 2 uses its vivid surroundings to maximize the scope of each encounter, whether that’s chasing the Vex through physical and temporal labyrinths or fleeing a horde of the Hive through caverns littered with organic decay. The game’s kineticism isn’t reserved for dodging foes, but also required for dodging hazards like the searing rays of the sun as you shoot your way across a spacecraft. Look to how the vague and aimless Patrols of old have been replaced with objective-driven explorations (literally called Adventures), or how the map now features entire hidden zones (Lost Sectors), not just stray treasure chests. Destiny 2’s is as much of a time-suck as its predecessor, but now that’s for all the right reasons. Riccio

17. The Norwood Suite

The public is more aware than ever of the infallibilities of well-known artists, and The Norwood Suite, Cosmo D’s follow-up to 2015’s brilliant Off-Peak, evokes the discomfort that many of us often feel when the dirty secrets of a musical icon are put on display. The setting of this game is a hotel that houses the legacy of a bandleader named Peter Norwood, whose exploitative relationships with other musicians come to the player’s attention via surreal trips down hidden passageways. Yet this building also bears numerous odd pleasures to behold, not least of which is a soundtrack that seamlessly morphs as you move from room to room. The characters are literally riffs in Cosmo D’s stupendous orchestration; different instruments and notes accompany different lines of dialogue as they appear on screen. The more you explore this strange location, the more you see the threat of commercialization in the form of corporate employees aiming to turn the hotel into a greater moneymaking scheme. Cosmo D gives no easy answers on how capitalistic culture can reconcile the sins of artistic giants, and that ambiguity makes The Norwood Suite a complicated and essential illustration of contemporary concerns.

16. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Nathan Drake, the central figure in previous Uncharted games, is a lying douchebag whose antics were more celebrated than examined. Enter Chloe Frazer, who redeems an immature franchise through a gradual moral awakening in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. This standalone expansion to the Uncharted series focuses on the sisterhood between Chloe and associate Nadine Ross, a friendship threatened by both Chloe’s default instinct to manipulate others and the appearance of Nathan’s irresponsible brother, Sam. Yes, the action sequences, while engaging, will be familiar to anyone who’s played an Uncharted game, but Chloe’s internal evolution toward caring about others gives the climactic chase scene a more altruistic bent that’s missing from the “gotta get myself out of this one” thrills that this series coasts on. As illustrated in its lighthearted and telling coda, The Lost Legacy stars a role model who isn’t only defined by her sex appeal, or her skill, intelligence, and ambition, but also by her willingness to be selfless—and that, unlike the empty escapism of the first four Uncharted games, is a legacy that developer Naughty Dog should be proud of.

15. Yakuza 0

The prequel to the cult video-game series Yakuza faced the unenviable task of taking a decades-old abstruse Japanese series and making it accessible for the masses. Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima, important underworld figures later in the series, are introduced to us as a low-level recruit and disgraced outcast, respectively, from different organized crime syndicates. They’re pulled into a conspiracy after Kazuma is framed for murder and Goro rejects an assassination job after finding out that the target is a defenseless blind girl. Their captivating narratives come together in a larger plot brimming with sociopolitical intrigue about property development and clan territory. Think of Yakuza 0 as noir through the lens of Japan in the 1980s. Its gameplay simplifies the series’s complicated mechanics without limiting the player or compromising the variety in the details. One can take part in any manner of activities throughout the Tokyo and Osaka settings while progressing through the campaign, allowing the game to prove itself both as a compelling prequel to an ongoing series and as its own self-contained story. Aston

14. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

The most horrific moment in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus isn’t the way the Nazis, triumphant over the Americans in this alternative history, smugly murder the allies of B.J. Blazkowicz as he lies helplessly in restraints. It’s the one in which you see a hooded member of the KKK casually walk down a Texas street, cheerfully waving to a Nazi occupier along the way. All the increasingly over-the-top action that follows is an antidote to the nonsense of resurgent white nationalism. Think of this game as Inglourious Basterds with a distinctly science-fiction twist; after all, you can use a flame-throwing mechanical dog to liberate a ghettoized New Orleans, or a spinal compressor to crush yourself into position to assassinate one of the game’s Ubercommanders. These moments are well matched by absurd set pieces, like an aerial battle in the ruins of your childhood home, as it’s literally uprooted by a flying fortress, and the stealthy infiltration of a movie being filmed on Venus. Blazkowicz is the perfect engine through which players can vent their frustrations; even actual decapitation doesn’t stop him. This makes The New Colossus not just the vengeful game that we want, but the cathartic game that we need. Riccio

13. Prey

While the 2017 reboot of Prey shares neither characters nor story elements with the original game, this gorgeous remix of System Shock, Deus Ex, Metroid, and Bioshock retains the impressive atmosphere and sense of foreboding that made the 2006 original memorable while adding its own unique twist on a tried-and-true video-game formula. Although the basic plot—a futuristic space station has gone to hell and the player has to figure out exactly why, and all while trying to stay alive—is a familiar one, what makes this Prey compelling is the unfolding narrative that, alongside complex gameplay, posits philosophical questions about the nature of humanity and empathy. Comparable to the best in the Dark Souls series, Prey is a very hard game, but a balanced one that rewards experimentation and approaching its challenges with careful preparation. Across its entire playthrough, it never stops adding new gameplay mechanics, abilities, and weapons into the mix, as well as new characters and situations that pose further ethical questions and change the potential outcome of the campaign.

12. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle has been described as a clone of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which is unfair given how it offers up a truly distinct turn-based tactical experience. This crossover could have been the result of a cynical scheme to lazily employ Mario, the biggest video-game character of them all, to entice loyal Nintendo fans into opening their wallets. But there’s a lot more to this game than marketing, as evidenced by its easy-to-grasp but demanding mechanics. While there are many inventive ways you can whittle away at enemies and travel across a stage in a single turn, your foes have similar opportunities to safely snipe your party members out of contention. The pleasure of watching your combatants execute multistep routes and attacks only increases whenever a slow-motion camera zooms in on both traditional Nintendo icons and demented rabbit-like versions of such beloved characters. This dynamic presentation makes Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle the best Mario-related spinoff in years. Pressgrove

11. Splasher

Splasher sports the most exhilarating platforming since last year’s Titanfall 2, allowing ample room for your creative expression to run wild. At your disposal are three types of stage-altering liquid that let you do everything from running on ceilings to bouncing off walls; choose the appropriate kind of spray and aim it at the right spot within split seconds or the numerous obstacles in your way will be your immediate undoing. Think of Splasher, then, as the platformer equivalent of a Dr. Seuss tongue-twister. And whether you’re simply trying to make it to the end of a level alive or hell-bent on topping your best score, momentum and precision are a necessity. The game’s relentless, humorous energy is intoxicating: When saved, hostages let out a “Whoooo!” while inexplicably flying off the screen via jetpack. That’s a fitting microcosm of Splasher’s unique sense of fun. Pressgrove

10. Night in the Woods

There’s a single image late into Night in the Woods that seems like the perfect metaphorical encapsulation of America in 2017: a group of ignorant, stubborn, and proud coal miners on one side of the screen; a group of resentful, struggling, but unerringly hopeful millennials on the other. In between, a chasm leading to an abyss from which not even light can escape. The chasm is everything in Night in the Woods. It’s the bewilderment of why an intelligent liberal would stay in a conservative backwater town. It’s the argument over breakfast over why parents make the choices they do for their children. It’s the realization of how little your upbringing prepares you for the larger world. It’s even in recognizing the divide between every person on Earth and the lurking eldritch gods beyond our understanding. Somehow, all of this is contained in a game that looks and acts less like J.D. Salinger writing a Lovecraft novel than it does a Richard Scarry adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Clark

9. Pyre

Countless sports video games have come and gone, but none have touched on the political, spiritual, and emotional impact of sports like the Dungeons & Dragons-inspired Pyre. Developer Supergiant Games has crafted a fascinating hybrid of fantasy RPGs and various ball- and goal-based contests, as well as tapped into how sports can bring about personal redemption and social upheaval. The player observes all of this from the standpoint of a coach (what the game calls a Reader) and, within this role, must deal with the drama that ensues when characters can’t compete for reasons related to strife with other teammates, sickness, and retirement. Ultimately, the roster choices you make in Pyre can have world-changing effects, including peaceful and civilized revolution that illustrates the hope that sports can give us in conflicted times.

8. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Another timely franchise reinvention, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild discards the linear formula of previous 3D Zelda titles, offering up what may be considered gaming’s first truly open world. When the game begins, the war is already over, the battle lost a century ago. The world is in ruins. Link awakens and is immediately drafted back into a conflict where little can ever be restored to how it once was. And after a brief introduction, Hyrule is entirely yours to traverse in any way that you want. Throughout, your curiosity is aroused: Unbelievably vibrant sights abound across this seemingly endless dominion, and if one such sight in the distance catches your eye, you’re encouraged to run to it and discover the secrets it may or may not contain. You need not enter the many shrines littered across this land, but if you do, a plethora of often-tricky puzzles will stoke your imagination every bit as evocatively as the many legends that elaborate on Ganon’s takeover of Hyrule. And that no one path toward victory will ever be the same as that of another player attests to the game’s thrilling and imaginative sense of design. Aston

7. What Remains of Edith Finch

What Remains of Edith Finch is more than a collection of stories about ennui; it’s a postmodern collage of stories about stories, or rather, how we deal with our lives and the things that are later remembered about us. It’s a perfect marriage between the telling of a story and one’s first-hand engagement with it, especially since some of the more abstract tales—a 10-year-old’s transformation-filled nightmare—must be experienced to be understood. Every remembrance is informed by an aspect of a person’s life (an artistic child’s last days are revealed via the pages of a hand-drawn flipbook), and while these scenarios are tragic, they’re also somewhat hopeful. Each new vignette, as in the surreal fantasia conjured up by an infant who cannot comprehend that he’s drowning, offers a fresh perspective on how we cope both with life and death. The game’s most powerful moment even demonstrates the way in which video games themselves offer a dangerous or therapeutic form of escapism (depending on the user). And long after What Remains of Edith Finch has ended, these powerful, indelible memories remain. Riccio

6. Persona 5

The Persona series finally grew up in 2017, transcending its roots as a maudlin supernatural-themed high school simulator to become an absorbing allegory about young men and women becoming painfully aware of their place in society. Over the course of 100 hours, the game’s motley crew of high schoolers discover how powerless and just how powerful they truly are in the face of the world’s various harsh indignities. Throughout, their rebellion is all-encompassing and awe-inspiring; the game’s eye-popping red-and-black pop-art typography and soulful acid-jazz soundtrack act as an artful middle finger to everyone daring to stand against the Phantom Thieves and what they believe in. Their newfound power in the Metaverse directly translates to genuine courage when the Thieves are faced with hard choices in the real world. For a series that has always been M-rated, Persona 5 represents the first work of maturity Atlus has ever created within it. Clark


The 25 Best Video Games of 2017

5. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

What truly cements Resident Evil 7: Biohazard as a stand-out horror experience isn’t the franchise’s shift to a first-person perspective, but how neatly it evokes classic horror movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre within the existing framework of its franchise narrative. Where previous entries in the Resident Evil series stagnated in their desire to raise the stakes with even bigger monstrosities and more over-the-top threats against entire nations by omnipotent evil corporations, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard toys with our primal fear of being at the mercy of a more recognizable evil. Terror starts at home, and it’s at the twisted Baker family mansion that the series finds its way back to what made it compelling in the first place: with a small group of sympathetic characters trapped in a believable location with few weapons at their disposal to fight back against seemingly countless and grotesque horrors. The sickening, almost Cronenbergian frights are always right up in your face, literally so if you play the game using the PlayStation VR, making the experience an impossible one to shake. Aston

4. Horizon: Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn features one of the most vibrantly envisioned open worlds in a video game to date. It’s a world where woodland creatures scrounge for their next meal alongside humans living in seemingly primitive tribes, and the only clues that we’re immersed in a futuristic setting are some nifty gadgets that the protagonist utilizes throughout and the enormous metal predators stalking the forests and deserts. What separates this open world from the settings of games with similar ambitions is how it functions in service of the characters and their lives. Young redheaded orphan Aloy and her kin are just as beautifully realized as the world around them, their believable and sympathetic characterization driving the narrative as Aloy discovers the dark reasons for the state of this world and attempts to find her place within it. As the narrative builds to an unusually affecting and optimistic conclusion, Horizon: Zero Dawn’s brand of post-apocalyptic sci-fi comes to feel like a necessary corrective to the troubles of our present day.

3. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

Ninja Theory’s Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice is unusually sensitive as a horror game, rejecting the trend of using mental illness for cheap scares. As disturbing as the contradictory voices in the titular protagonist’s head might be, her fractured psychological state doesn’t exist to leave players feeling frightened, but to serve up a philosophical inquiry with universal resonance. Between fights with scores of mythic beings (the one-versus-all war in the Sea of Corpses is gaming’s most ominous action spectacle of the year), the player learns that Senua loathes the voices within her as much as she does anything else—and that self-hatred must be recognized and managed in order for her to attain some form of peace. This dark but life-affirming parable amplifies its emotional power through mesmerizing audiovisuals, where hallucinatory whispers argue over whether you’re ever going the right way and motion-capture graphics ironically seem like reality when juxtaposed against full-motion video.

2. Super Mario Odyssey

The joy of Super Mario Odyssey is in your self-made journey. This is a game that invites you to dwell within and interact with both the old and the new. Wander around a recreation of Peach’s Castle (from Mario 64) to your heart’s content, maybe enter the retro 2D levels ingeniously embedded into certain flat surfaces throughout the game’s kingdoms. You can also adopt a completely new identity throughout by possessing foes, allies, and sometimes random objects: You can rocket around as a fragile Bullet Bill, spring into action as a stilt-walking sprout, or swim up a volcano as an adorable lava bubble. However you play this game on your way to saving Peach from a forced marriage, it’s start-to-finish fun, and the travel-guide presentation of the in-game map suggests that Super Mario Odyssey aims to serve as a kind of vacation. The game’s collectible Power Moons reinforce this leisurely emphasis, as you’re as likely to get a reward from performing agile acrobatics as from paying close attention to that dog wandering along a sandy beach. This freedom elevates Super Mario Odyssey, making it not just a game, but a colorful, creative playground. Riccio


The 25 Best Video Games of 2017

1. NieR Automata

If NieR Automata were just a straight-forward open-world action title, one that could be completed in approximately 10 hours, stretching from the first line of dialogue until Ending A, it would still stand tall this year for being a fundamentally odd game about machines pondering their own humanity, ending on a quaintly sentimental but earned grace note. Ending A, however, is the tip of the iceberg, partially obscuring what eventually reveals itself to be one of the most unique ludological and existentialist exercises in any medium. On one hand, it’s a love letter and celebration of everything games are, as its mechanics flit joyously between genres; it’s a hack-and-slash power trip one moment, a shooter the next, sometimes even a platformer. On the other, it’s pathologically obsessed with tearing down everything about what those genres have done up to this point in the history of gaming. NieR Automata performs a philosophical autopsy on the post-apocalyptic corpse of humankind through the lens of machines finding themselves bound to make sense of their own burgeoning sentience from the scraps we leave behind. The actions of the game’s androids and robots frighten, sadden, and disturb us more than the actions of any other enemy one can face in any other game because, fundamentally, these beings are us, fumbling violently around existence with only the most vague concept of what life, love, sex, murder, religion, and death mean in the grand scheme of things. It’s a game that revels in the destruction of one’s enemies, and also forces players to recognize their own role in creating them, and the imperative of understanding them to truly move forward, a pensiveness framed by one of the most glorious, eclectic scores ever composed. There has never been a game quite like NieR Automata, and until the day there’s more than one Yoko Taro, there’s not likely to be another. Clark
