Ever Oasis' release timing is ideal for what it's trying to do: be, much as its name implies, a respite from the hot, dry days of summer. To be a tale about rallying and working together to keep on living and fight away the darkness that pervades [players'] world. To bring refreshment through familiarity and sustenance, seeking not to wow [players] with style and taste but to quench a more primal, nostalgic thirst.
With the ever growing popularity of the Switch, it seems inevitable that Nintendo are going to focus their efforts on releasing new games for their newest console. With few upcoming releases for the 3DS, it seems likely that the popular evolved handhold console has seen it’s day. As a tribute, we have collaborated a list of what we think were the 15 best games for Nintendo 3DS.
Definitely a solid list. I might be in the minority on this, but I didn't really care for the kids Icarus game. Interesting use of the stylus, but just meh to me.
Phil writes, "This is always a fun category to do for the SuperPhillip Central Best Of yearly awards. So many hyped games can end up being disappointing, but what about those that folks didn't give much attention to that turned out awesome? Let's continue being positive here at the SuperPhillip Central Best of 2017 Awards with the nominees for the Biggest Surprises of the year. These are games that astonished me with their quality, almost coming out of nowhere to excite and fascinate. Some were more interesting than I originally gave them credit for, but after playing these games, my attitude shifting drastically. As always with the awards on SuperPhillip Central, I unfortunately can't play every game released in a given year, so don't be too hard on the award show for missing any of your picks. I might have simply not played them. Now, onto the Top Five Biggest Surprises of 2017!"
