Editors’ Choice: The Best Games of 2017 So Far

William Kirk at GameCloud writes: "It could already be argued that 2017 has been one of the best years in gaming in a very long time – if not one of the best of all time! – and we’re only at the half way mark, with countless promising titles still on the horizon. However, before we move forward, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of the biggest highlights of the year so far.

Below are just a handful of titles selected by our team which have stood out as possible contenders for Best of 2017."

Persona 5 hands down. Not even close.

Nier

Looks like a lot of people are viewing the same games as contenders. a lot of recurring titles on these lists with zelda, horizon, persona, nier and resident evil.

For me it's hands down Horizon zero dawn. It's a fantastically realized world with surprisingly incredible game play. It's in my best games of the gen list with Bloodborne and Ori and the blind forest.

Persona 5 and Tales of Berseria

Hoping Ni no Kuni 2 will be amazing as well

Zelda: Breath of the Wild for me. That, or Persona 5.
