When reminiscing over the first half of the year, it's very easy to get so sucked in by things like Resident Evil 7, Horizon and Zelda: Breath of the Wild, leaving the immaculate Persona 5 to go unnoticed.

An absolute MAMMOTH of a game and ludicrously good value for money, this 100+ hour RPG puts you in the shoes of the Phantom Thieves - a band of teenagers who balance schoolwork and chores with the ability to dive into the minds of society's darkest characters, removing their sinful ways from the synapse out.

Persona 5 does a masterful job of upping the ante on just how morally complex messing with someone's inhibitions can be, but always maintains a steady flow of creative levels, excellent character work and abilities to unlock.

The ride is one of the most memorable you can partake, and the sheer style present across its menus and general presentation is second to none. This is the Baby Driver of video games for 2017.
