Game of the Year 2017
Let's get this shit started. I don't feel like typing a bunch of shit so let's just get with it. These are the games that I love the most out of the year. I hope 2018 can deliver some gems.

Look, nothing I say will help this game. It's just the best. Easily making it's way into my top 10 games of all time. Play it, you won't regret it. I want more Yoko Taro x Platinum.

I love Yakuza. Yakuza 0 is probably my favorite one in the series. With Yakuza 6 and Fist of the north star on the horizon, I honestly can't wait for more from this series. These guys just get it. They know how to adjust their gameplay just enough to keep it feeling fresh.

Hey look it's Cuphead. It's a great game and everyone knows it. Great art style, great music and of course the gameplay is tight. I really can't say much about this game. I love it through and through and I hope we get to see more from this team. Clearly something made with love and passion.

I wasn't expecting Persona 5 to be as good as Persona 4, because you can't beat perfection. The gameplay in 5 is the best it's ever been and it has more bells and whistles than 4 but the character and story I feel falter a bit. You don't really go on many out of school adventures in this game and it seems to have some pacing issues. But it's still a great game.

I honestly wasn't even that hyped for Mario Odyssey. But I'm sure glad I picked it up. This game is a joy through and through. While it's not as good as Galaxy I don't think, it kept a smile on face through out the whole adventure. I don't know when I'll do another full play through of the game, but I'm sure it will be great. Also that theme song is amazing.

Resident Evil is officially back in stride.... I hope. While some of the DLC has been... disappointing to say the least, I hope they can keep the momentum going.
-
Another stand out Zelda game from Nintendo. This game combines some aspects that I love from Dragon's Dogma with the classic zelda formula. It works and I hope they don't stop taking chances like this.

Another recommendation from the GBP4A crew. I didn't even know this game came out. But I'm glad I checked it out. Great music, an amazing art style and some fun ass gameplay. I want to know and explore more of this world.

I never played the first Evil Within. I heard it was a dumpster fire and I was not very much looking forward to this game. But when your friends say that this game is actually good when they hated the first one, I was interested. Guess what? This thing is actually amazing. Great story, kinda janky gameplay but overall, a great package. Hopefully they leave Sebastian story as is.

Oh... I'm sorry Bayonetta doesn't belong here you say? Well Steam tells me it was released in 2017 and guess what? This game is fucking amazing. Play it.

Honorary mention: This game really doesn't do anything special that I haven't seen in the many VN or other indie games that fuck with files on your computer or lead to other websites that I've played. I have a hard time putting into words why I like it so much. This game is basically an advertisement for this studios next game and I think they do a good job establishing some of the characters and the writing is pretty good. If it was just a VN with it's current premise then it be run of the mil psychological horror VN, but as a gimmick for a bigger story, it works great. VN have kinda been crappy in my opinion lately, but I'm cautiously optimistic on this one. I hope they truly go out of there way to make something unique instead of trying to be some run of the mill shit.
