10 Best Video Games From Q1 2017 - Ranked

6. Night In The Woods (PS4, PC)

Infinite Fall

A delightfully weird "walking simulator" revolving around an anthropomorphic cat who returns to her hometown to deal with life's difficulties, Night in the Woods is like nothing released this year or, in fact, any year.

With a charming art style, hilariously witty dialogue and unexpected abundance of content, this is a fantastic way to take a break from Q1's AAA onslaught when you're feeling burned out or overwhelmed.

Keenly focusing on its hysterical cast of characters and making the sleepy town of Possum Springs feel thoroughly lived-in, this is an indie title that's impossible not to relate to in some form, and absolutely deserves your support.
