10 Phenomenal 2017 Video Games You're Already Missing Out On

We've had past years like 2013 where Bioshock Infinite, GTA V, The Last of Us and Gone Home all competed for Game of the Year, but the sheer amount of unrelenting quality we've seen across 2017's first quarter alone is something mighty special indeed.

Just take stock for a second: Resident Evil 7, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mass Effect Andromeda, For Honor, Yakuza 0, Nioh, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, NieR: Automata - it goes on and on, but man what a good thing to see.

It's true that when this generation started off, behind the scenes many developers were apprehensive about the supposed 'need' for a new generation of hardware, thus resulting in a monumentally stilted start when sales for the PS4 especially continued to break records. As games were shoved out the door unfinished or otherwise didn't live up to expectations (Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed Unity, The Order: 1886) it really felt as though the entire console cycle could be a bust.

Thanks to that last minute firing of the ovens though, it's resulted in a 'better late than never' release schedule, as every major project that was greenlit or set in motion across the last few years is now hitting store shelves at the same time. Just make sure you don't miss out on some of the best games available, when there are so many vying for your attention at the same time.
