18 Best Video Game Moments Of 2017

11. Wiping Out An Entire Team With One Sentry Attack - Star Wars Battlefront II

Saying anything positive about Battlefront 2 is tantamount to admitting you like a Nickelback song, but let it be known: Star Wars Battlefront 2 is - at its core - a damn fine game.

Case in point: The sheer, unbridled fun of playing as a Heavy, equipping any of the Sentry power-ups and just GOING.TO.TOWN on the opposition.

Like Bastion's turret in Overwatch, provided you pick a good spot it's very easy to just mow through 10+ foes in one go, cackling madly as all those players get kicked back to the respawn screen.

Yes, story-beats like Luke catching fallen rocks with the Force or hanging out as Han Solo in Maz's castle are great, but when DICE's production budgets are powering every laser blast, there's nothing quite so euphorically enjoyable as this.
