Games of 2017
This year has really been incredible. So many great games and these are just the ones I was able to spend enough time on to be comfortable putting on a list. Though I tried PUBG and it did nothing for me so it's not here on purpose.
List items

See what I said above pretty much. This game probably produced the most smiles for me all year.

I loved the original Splatoon and this is more Splatoon which I'm definitely on board for. The co-op mode is a ton of fun when it's active and it's still some of the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game this year.

From playing through it again on the SNES Classic to discovering the Randomizer section of the speedrunning community, this game has recaptured my attention. In the process of learning the speedrun so I can give randomizer a try and I highly recommend everyone check it out!
