1. Red Dead Redemption 2

Let's not beat around the bush anymore. Red Dead Redemption was hailed as one of the greatest and most successful video-games in the last decade. Released in 2010, Rockstar gave us one of the most beautifully-designed open worlds, some of their most successful characters (and hands down their most likeable protagonist ever), and a story that gave everyone the feels no matter how apathetic a human they might be.

Without a doubt, a sequel was anticipated from day one. John Marston left a tremendous impact on the history of video games, challenging everything gamers thought about Rockstar's main characters. A man of loyalty, respect, dedication, and class, Marston will always have a special place in the hearts of gamers the world over.

So when RDR 2 was announced toward the end of 2016, the hype was very, very real. Virtually nothing is known about the plot or concept of the game - as usual with Rockstar games, we just have rumours and theories. But the excitement and anticipation is off the charts. The game not only looks gorgeous, but Rockstar is one of the few AAA developers that never falls short of its promises.

When it comes to the open-world genre of games, Red Dead Redemption 2 is perhaps the most anticipated release of 2017. And chances are, it will be the most successful, too.
