18 Best Video Game Moments Of 2017

15. Fighting Mia ...And Losing Your Hand - Resident Evil 7

RE7 was a resounding return to form for a franchise that spent the better part of the last decade making some of the worst decisions in gaming history. Still, the switch to first-person immediately became that bit more intense when your supposed-to-be-in-need-of-rescuing wife Mia actually attacks you instead.

In a bout of "... no... they wouldn't... would they!?", Mia eventually brandishes a chainsaw - having pinned your hand to a wall with a nearby screwdriver - and proceeds to hack your limb clean off.

This literally happens in the opening 20 minutes of the game, and though you might then be thinking, "Oh, so the screenshots that showed other levels with a two handed protagonist were a lie?", the game one-ups even itself by having father Jack Baker literally staple it back on.

As you do.
