18 Best Video Games Of 2017 (So Far)

10. Kamiko

I can't say enough positive, heartwarming and downright lovely things about Kamiko (but I'll damn well try).

First up, it's only £5, which is insane, given the level of polish applied. Its soundtrack is an immaculate 80s throwback, with a theme that would've gone down in history had it appeared a few decades earlier, and gameplay is a potent, simple mix of Zelda and Diablo, with Hyper Light Drifter aesthetics.

Played entirely from the top-down perspective, there's a real sense of focus and confidence from developers SKIPMORE, rolling together four half hour-to-an hour long levels and three very different characters, with light puzzle elements and progression that's contingent on killing a certain number of enemies.

It feels like the perfect length with a great set of game mechanics and a presentation that's just loveable. Kamiko's subtle charms deserve a spot on any Switch owner's library, it really is just that well-meaning.
