Ranking October 2017's Biggest Video Games From Worst To Best

Between the likes of Horizon: Zero Dawn, Nier: Automata and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, players have been swamped with great video games to play in 2017.

After taking the summer off to let players recuperate though, the gaming industry is back in full swing ready for the Christmas season. With amazing, blockbuster titles starting to trickle out in September like Destiny 2, the bulk of the year's biggest names have dropped over October, including some sure-fire game of the year contenders.

With so much to play and big names like Battlefront and COD on the horizon, getting through everything all at once can be far too overwhelming. It's essential to distinguish between which games are must-plays and which can wait until an inevitable New Year sale, starting from worst to best with...

After multiple delays, Gran Turismo Sport finally released earlier this month, and for the most part has proved itself as yet another solid entry in the franchise.

Lacking any sort of standout feature though, even the addition of VR hasn't marked the sequel out as a must-play game for anyone other than ride-or-die racing fans.

The core experience itself is strong, with the sense of speed and the feel of the cars doing more than enough to satisfy players who enjoy their racing sims, but without any real story mode or substantial single-player options to speak of, the sequel is more for those looking to jump in and out of competitive multiplayer matches.

A technical marvel, Sport is one of the best-looking games of the generation so far, it's just a shame that underneath the looks there isn't that much substance to the overall racing experience.
