Best Action/Adventure Game of 2017

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Perhaps the most diverse and amorphous genre, action/adventure by nature consumes many different game types and play styles. Yet if there's a fundamental truth of the genre in 2017 it's this: add RPG elements to it. That's certainly what Ubisoft did to Assassin's Creed: Origins. "...most definitely the action RPG element of the game is a natural step for AC to go, and we should keep that going going forward," said game director Ashraf Ismail. For Horizon: Zero Dawn, Guerrilla Games brought in John Gonzalez, lead writer on Fallout: New Vegas, along with some staff formerly of CD Projekt Red (The Witcher series). The Legend of Zelda returned to its NES roots, a mixture of CRPG exploration and arcade action. Meanwhile, The Surge riffed on the action-RPG systems of Dark Souls."

Horizon Zero Dawn and its amazing add on, The Frozen Wilds easily takes the first two places.

Sony is hosting its press conference at the start of CES 2025 in Las Vegas. As usual, PlayStation took the spotlight during the presentation, but not in the way you'd expect.

I can’t even imagine a helldivers 2 movie.
Hopefully they do it good

Cacabunga114d ago

Next is Horizon card game… the milking is unreal

Grilla114d ago

Yeah but with terminator style bots and the Illuminate. More potential imo.

mkis007114d ago

They better not be afraid of leaning into it hard.

S2Killinit114d ago

Im most excited for the Ghost anime.

vTuro24114d ago

I was about to say, they can just copy Starship Troopers homework and change it up a bit so the teacher won't notice.

How when the game is literally inspired by a movie?

Goodguy01114d ago

Lmao, sony making more shows, films, and remasters this generation.

Lightning77114d ago

Yet let's ignore Ghost of Yotei, Intergalactic, wolverine and Santa Monica's New IP.

Yep all TV shows and remasters alright.....

Hereandthere114d ago

Ghost of Yotei looks like a ps 4 pro game at best, intergalactic only showed 4 seconds of in game footage, despite being in development for more than 4 years, wolverine might be good, Santa Monica's New IP was just for you to fill space and cover for sonys lack of 1st party games.

DarXyde114d ago

Remasters aren't games?

Didn't realize the same folks making games are also making films and shows (which Sony actually has been making before games, but ok).

Silly comment aside , Ghost of Tsushima as an anime sounds grand. Don't care too much about Horizon or Helldivers media, but it sounds cool to get more Jin.

Army_of_Darkness114d ago (Edited 114d ago )

You do realize Sony has a completely separate movies and tv series division right? They are simply catching on and actually taking advantage of their popular gaming ips

Redemption-64114d ago

Naaaaa, you are supposed to pretend they don't have a completely separate movie/TV division

Lightning77114d ago

@Here uh huh Right watch Ghost Of Yotei get the highest score on meta this year. ND doesn't miss so I expect Intergalactic to be a damn near Master piece, insomniac making Wolverine so you know they'll knock it out of the park. Santa Monica will probably announce their new IP this year and it'll be epic. It's about track record and all these studios have great track records. You wanna argue facts go ahead I'll win.

I was hoping for live action Ghost but an anime will be just fine.

Grilla114d ago

Last I heard the guy that made the John Wick movies was working on it.

Lightning77114d ago

Now that's gonna freakin dope.

-Foxtrot114d ago

I really hope they get the guy who played Jinn to play him in the film.

Elda114d ago

If true then there's hope.

gigoran8114d ago

out of all the titles they could have chosen, those 3 could actually make decent movies.

-Foxtrot114d ago (Edited 114d ago )

They’ve tried a Horizon series and it fell apart, what makes them think a film is going to work with a shorter run time.

I was hoping the GoT series would focus on Jinn after the main game.

S2Killinit114d ago

Im not sure about the show or why it allegedly fell apart, but the story in Horizon is pretty cool. I can see people enjoying it.

Michiel1989112d ago

they probably recorded some footage for it and now want to make a quick buck out of the remnants. You know what they say: fail once, rip your audience off.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic157d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23157d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1157d ago (Edited 157d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger148d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.
