The 8 Best PS4 Games of Q1 2017

A surprisingly strong start to the year.

Here's the games I've played so far and how I rank them...

1. Persona 5- My first in the series and it's the best JRPG I've played in a long long time. Truly a masterpiece.

2. HZD- What a first step for GG, venturing into uncharted territory and totally nailing it. I look forward to Horizon becoming a franchise.

3. Nioh- My first souls type game and I really enjoyed it, haven't gotten around to beating it yet but it's a game I wouldn't mind coming back to.

4. Resident Evil 7- Best Resi since 4 imo, survival horror returned in this installment and right now it's my biggest surprise of 2017.

5. NieR Automata- Didn't like it as much as I thought i would, but the combat is some of the best I've played this gen. Too bad I didn't enjoy the open world, story, or side quests at all.

6. For Honor- Typical Ubi game, MP is the focal point and they managed to throw together a BS campaign to keep the consumer quiet. Cant say I was disappointed cause I was expecting it, especially since they didn't show a single minute of campaign footage prior to release.

7. MEA- My favorite franchise ever, and now my biggest disappointment ever! It's not just the facial animations or bugs, the game just lacks substance imo. It's not fun to play and what I enjoyed in previous games (dialogue, exploring, story) I didn't find enjoyable in Andromeda. Once I found out a different studio was making this game, something told me it wasn't going to be the same.

Like I stated before, I haven't played anything this year besides Mirror's Edge: Catalyst and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Next month I'll start with Mass Effect: Andromeda followed by Prey, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Resident Evil VII.
