The Best Video Games Of 2017

2017 has been a special year for video games. It witnessed the return of such important series as The Legend of Zelda , saw factory line franchises like Call of Duty return to their roots, and even bore witness to the arrival of some impressive new propert


When it comes to online gaming, there are certain groups that can be easily identified by a few qualities; DOTA players are slimeballs, CS:GO players are always screaming about grenades, and Diablo 2 players still exist, believe it or not (although it is one of the greatest games ever ma


In short, players need - and deserve - to feel supported. It's something that Turtle Rock didn't quite manage, and it's a problem that other games have also struggled with. Destiny 2 may have been one of the top trending video games of 2017 , resulting in some huge sales figures and extremely strong launch reviews, but a series of poor behind-the-scenes decisions from Bungie has left players unimpressed, and as a result the game has not had the same reach as its predeces


Overwatch may have avoided controversy for its microtransactions, and PUBG may also manage to dodge this bullet, but that is not always the case. One major example of how microtransactions can kill a game's momentum is Evolve , the asymmetrical shooter from former Left 4 Dead developer Turtle Rock. The title had a hugely popular beta testing period, and a lot was expected of it when it launched pro


The size of the oasis was increased with more buildings nearby and there are extra farming points (small building sets) added near various cities and towns. The number of buildings in some city areas was reduced to cut down on excessive building density along with some excessive cover points (rocks, drums, boxes) inside various cities and towns. Elsewhere in open areas more trees and rocks have been added to offer more cover in open areas and some building interiors have been simplif


Another comic involving a young boy and his father's utter disappointment, this time at a much early age. We believe that the baby after just being born was influenced by a doctor who was a fan of Fortnite. Get them while they are young, it always works. And it always will w


The issue of Steam content control has been one that has caused debate for a long time, and some critics have been quick to point out a lack of quality control on the digital distribution platform. One of the most high-profile of these critics is Jim Sterling, who took the time to point out the most poor quality games on Steam, including the vast library of games from Digital Homic


Loot doesn't do you much good when you don't have anyway to make off with it. Sure, crafty players may lay it like a trail of brass casing breadcrumbs to draw unwitting prey into a trap, but most likely, you're just going to flounder around with it and get caught trying to figure out how to carry all of


After teasing major balance changes PUBG Corp outlined exactly what players can expect from PC 1.0 Update #12 . First, let's look at the balance changes, and then we'll showcase the new additions to the g


If you're with your real friends, there really isn't a reason to lie. But if you're with strangers, then yes, you need to put on a sweater, smile, and act like you're going to do something besides scream about chicken dinners to strangers on the inter


The title certainly has its issues, with an overall weaker story and the inexplicable addition of loot box microtransactions that has received plenty of criticism. However, overall it's still an excellent game for players who want more of that blend of Assassin's Creed and Lord of the Rin


That said, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a great success. The duo of Chloe and Nadine offers up great chemistry, while the game's slightly larger maps gives a decent level of variety on the game's linear narrative structure. More than anything, it proves that there's still life in the Uncharted franchise


The Divinity: Original Sin games are some of the great triumphs of the crowdfunding model. Built around mechanics that traditional AAA gaming has shied away from, the tactical, slow-burning RPG gameplay has left plenty of players hoo


You're going to hear from a Fortnite fan on this article, but that's only because some of us are poor and free Legendary pathfinder skin-to-play games are the only thing we can roll with. That doesn't mean that PUBG isn't good, but hey, people just can't like both equally. So take it easy on Fortnite and Paladins. They may be similar to other games, but they offer a happiness to children and less productive grown-ups that is usually reserved for sitting around in your underwear on your couch, watching bad movies on Netf


However, those sales don't just relate to hype, with Call of Duty: WWII sitting pretty as one of the best games that the series has seen in years. Not only did the campaign pack a serious punch, but the game's War mode is perhaps the best innovation that Call of Duty has seen in some t
