Game of the Year 2017: What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of 2017?

Horizon for me, beating Uncharted TLL simply because it was more epic in scale. Ghost Recon Wildlands was also great fun, despite some obvious flaws.

Just realized that I didn't play almost a single 2017 game. Bought older games and worked on my backlog.

The only 2017 I played (yesterday night) and loved was SUPERHOT VR. It's one of the best experiences I've had in gaming so far, but also one of the most frustrating ones, especially when controls don't work properly.

HZD,AC:O and Wolfenstein 2.

HZD, P5, Uncharted and Nioh

Nioh, Horizon, and Shadow Tactics. Haven't had a chance to play Uncharted yet. A truly great year for games!

Horizon Zero Dawn, Elite Dangerous, Yakuza 0 (still playing) and Persona 5 were my faves but I have missed out quite a few corkers this year. I still haven't played Nier Automata, Lost Legacy, Pillars Of Eternity, AC Origins....

My GOTY: Horizon Zero Dawn

My top 3: Horizon Zero Dawn, Persona 5 and Gravity Rush 2.

What a great year it was on PS4, how someone could still complain about it? And 2018 it looks that will be awesome too.

Persona 5, Horizon, And, ummm. Prey. Has worked it’s way above lost legacy. I’m loving that game so far - it’s been a big surprise.

Although I haven’t played the vast majority of these, I can hardly believe anything could top NieR: Automata for me this year. Absolutely brilliant game. Beautifully rendered, spectacularly stylistic and addictive gameplay, thought provoking and innovative in its presentation. It’s simply unlike any other game I’ve played. But I will keep playing several of the others on the list here that I have added to my backlog, trying to find the next game to amaze me. Next up, Gravity Rush 2.

Yakuza zero only at 5% ? I thought we were all indoctinised gamers here in the comments? If you havent played it. Go and do it! Or majimas gonna go crazy on you.

Persona 5 is the best game of 2017, hands down. Awesome title!

My second and third choices are Danganronpa V3 and Assassin's Creed Origins respectively.

Persona 5, Nier: Automata and Uncharted. If I were to say a favourite, it'd be Nier without a doubt (even though Persona 5 is pretty incredible in my opinion). I've just never played a game that I've enjoyed so much, with such perfect soundtrack, gameplay, and a story that sticks with you and never leaves you. It's excellent!

Horizon Zero Dawn
Sonic Mania
Uncharted Lost Legacy

Everybody knows Horizon Zero Dawn is my Number One and that Persona 5 is my Number Two but as I had to pick three I was undecided between Wolfenstein 2 and The Evil Within 2...but decided on the Nazi slaying one as I have finished it.TEW 2 is awesome too though

Nier, Persona, Horizon (with Nioh close 4th)
@BranJ0: word up son

Persona 5, horizon zero dawn and uncharted the lost legacy.

Horizon, lost legacy and yakuza!! Looking forward to persona 5 and nioh in 2018 from my backlog.

No Gran Turismo Sport. That’s weak. Get in new editors this year. You all like the same games.

Horizon Zero Dawn
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Gravity Rush 2

Tough choices for my top 3 but here goes

Persona 5
Resident Evil VII
Sonic Mania

With Yakuza 0 and Horizon rounding out my top 5

my favorite game of the year is scalebound wow I never seen so many dragons before since Skyrim.Microsoft really outdid themselves.not only scalebound game of the year.but it's the greatest game ever.word up son.😂

@get2sammyb Gran Turismo Sport is number 21 on Eurogamer's reader's list. Sure, it's a different readership. but the fact that none of your editors could vouch for it in any way is disappointing to me. It's an equally good game in its genre to any of your darling games.

I voted crash, sonic and nier

We have to wait until December 3rd of 2018 to get the results!?!?!?

@Wesker We definitely, definitely do not like the same games. The gulf in taste between me and Sammy is gigantic — we argue all the time.

@NYJetsfan123 Thanks for pointing that out, changed it to January!

@ShogunRok

I was just being a smart ass!

Happy New Year!

Prey, Yakuza 0, Horizon Zero Dawn.

The first two were easy: Yakuza 0 and Horizon Zero Dawn.
The third one was a really tough, I was choosing between:
Assassin's Creed Origins, Prey, Gravity Rush 2, Persona 5, the Evil Within 2, and Uncharted. They would all have deserved my third pick, so I just picked one randomly (Prey).

Some games are missing though, like Gran Turismo Sport.

I didn't play much of 2017's games since I still have to play many games that came a few years ago, but it was relatively easy to point out my three favorites.

As a fan of the series, and especially since this is the best entry yet, Assassin's Creed: Origins got my 3rd vote.

I love platformers and I was so happy that he finally came back - my 2nd vote went to Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, of course.

And my 1st vote doesn't require any further explanation. It's the obvious winner of GOTY 2017 - Horizon Zero Dawn. Outstanding in environment, combat, RPG elements, characters, strong female lead, story, side-quests... And it was an open-world that really felt alive - not because it had humans walking and doing their thing, but because nature, day/night cycles, machines and story made it feel so alive. =)

Persona 5, Horizon & Nioh.

More people need to give Nioh a shot. It's not as good as Bloodborne, but it's superior to Dark Souls imo.

I've only played a few out of this whole list. I voted Horizon Zero Dawn (still haven't even come close to finishing it), N.Sane Trilogy, and Wildlands. I might have said Wolfenstein 2, but I just got into the series recently and completed Old Blood. I'm on New Order now so I can't really say anything about New Colossus just yet. I would have picked Sonic Mania and Steamworld Dig 2, but I played those on Switch.

@DLB3 Didn't even notice, and I don't really care TBH! A good game is a good game!

Bloodborne.

Persona 5, Uncharted and Yakuza for me. Resi 7 narrowly missed out on top 3.

In my criteria for voting i had to discount quality games I own but which i have not yet had a chance to play such as nier, danganronpa and south park. Horizon was good but a tad overated for me sadly.

I chose persona as it pushed the jrpg genre to the next level and raised awareness that turn based rpgs can still be a quality product. The music, art and story were all quality. Morgana can do one though

I chose uncharted: tll because i thought after being slightly disappointed by U3 and 4, as good as those games were, something was missing. For me the lost legacy followed on where u2 left off. A 'best of' essentially of uncharted highlights. The landscapes were spectacular.

Finally i chose Yakuza because i feel sega finally managed to crack to west. The story is as strong as anything told this year; and the amount of things to see and do is unrivalled. An incredible achievement. For me the only real downsodes are that there are almost too many street fights when you just want to get on with the game ; and i feel the 'fan-service', particularly the telephone club and the video shop, is just a bit creepy.

Honorable mention to reaident evil 7. Too scary for me to play in vr but a wonderful achievement to make resi scary again. The sense of helplessness at points is fantastic and the bakers were a great choice of adversaries. The molded were a little generic and disappointing however

Voted for The Evil Within 2, Horizon Zero Dawn and Gravity Rush 2. Would have put Little Nightmares instead of GR2, but there was no option.

Horizon, persona 5, and nier automata.

Runner-up: gravity rush 2, uc lost legacy, sonic mania, crash n.sane, and night in the woods.

2017 is a great year for ps4

My top 3 from the options are Persona 5, Uncharted Lost Legacy, and Crash N. Sane. I was gonna leave Crash as an honorable mention, but Yakuza Kiwami isn't there, so Kiwami is an honorable mention.

Got give some love to nier, its been sadly lacking by site staff

My top 3 out of those is 1) Uncharted Lost Legacy. 2) Resident Evil VII. 3) Destiny 2. I would of added Battlefront 2 over Destiny 2 but wasn't an option.

@Neolit GT's exclusion is a travesty.

Nier Automata 👍

Horizon, Hellblade and What Remains of Edith Finch for me. Hellblade wasn't my most enjoyable but I have thought more about of it since playing and that says a lot.

Uuhhh HELLLOOOOO LIFE IS STRANGE?!?!? why isnt it there?
***My top 5***
1-night in the woods.
2-what remains of edith finch.
3-life is strange BTS.
4-resident evil 7.
5-horizon.

For me it’s horizon zero dawn first. Working out tactics to the ever impressive fights. My only criticism is if you get the best armour you become a touch over powered Second nex machina the game is sublime and if you don’t own it it’s only £7ish right now in the sale. Third uncharted tll such a fun game. There are many games I didn’t get to play but hope to eventually

Hzd, nier automata, persona 5, uncharted LL, and Zelda. This is my order of my top 5 games of the year

Horizon
Resident VII
Injustice 2

Oh, and 2018's are definitely going to be
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Spider-Man
Monster Hunter World
and (if it makes it this year) Resident Evil 2 Remake

Ac origins, horizon zero dawn and prey for me... Good old prey!

I only bought 2 games on ps4 last year, stardew valley and kingdom hearts 2.8.
Most of my money went to the switch, this year will be different, I’ll buy kingdom hearts 3 and ni no kuni 2 for ps4 assuming that they don’t get delayed until 2019. Also I still want to play persona 5 and south park on ps4 but I’ve got a feeling they’ll get a switch port.

So on topic, I voted based on walkthroughs I’ve watched and what I’ve played when I was with friends. South park, skyrim VR and injustice 2.

Horizon Nier and Lost Legacy. I loved Gravity Rush 2 but only had 3 choices.

Paragon, Absolutly Paragon...
(Actually its 2015 game)

I love these polls but i cant choose 1 game.

What an incredible list from 2017! Sorry are there still cynical gamers out there who say no decent games on PS4!? I spent more cash on games 2017 than any other year! Including PSVR! Whichever game wins game of the year, us playstation gamers are the biggest winners Happy gaming for 2018!

Went for Horizon,SuperhotVR,Skyrim VR from this list though my favourite VR would actually be a Star Trek also agree with some that GTS is deserving of a mention on the list. But list really highlights how many good games I didn’t get round this year really got to do something about my backlog

My GOTY was Horizon Zero Dawn, my second favorite was Hob but not an option in the poll. Hellblade rounded out my top 3. For voting purposes I went with Uncharted Lost Legacy in place of Hob.

Where the surge?

Where is Gran Turismo?

Top 3: Crash, Nioh, Uncharted
Honorable Mentions: WipEout Omega Collection, Knack 2, Tekken 7, Nex Machina

@get2sammyb Why did it have to be cut down?

@LieutenantFatman I actually platinumed BB this year (beat it the year prior), so it's funny you mentioned that. lol

I voted southpark, yakuza, and persona. I didn't get around too playing 75% of these unfortunately, or fortunately in a few cases.

@Constable_What Anything in particular you didn't get on with?

1. Yakuza 0
2. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
3. Resident Evil VII: biohazard

i would include Friday 13th on my list, I think that game is incredible

can this be fixed so you can select less than 3 of the options listed? and why isn't there an option for 'other'?.

horizon gets my vote. it's the best game in the last 4 years imo.

+1 for GT Sport

HZD was easily GOTY for me. AC: Origins really shone too.

Deus ex didn’t even get a mention!

I bought Horizon at launch and never got past the intro mission for whatever reason and didn't pick it up again until this past Christmas break. I loaded it back up after completing Assasins Creed Origins looking for something to do. Man, am I disappointed in myself for not giving it a go sooner!! Easily one of my favorite games of all time, let alone 2017!! I put Neir as my #2 and ACO as a distant #3.

This was a really weak year for the system as far as I'm concerned, I tried Nier which ended up being really mediocre in my opinion and Tekken 7 was just a huge disappointment overall after the stellar Tag 2. FF12 is weird, I like it but at the same time it just feels so long winded at times, not goty material in my eyes.

I would probably enjoy Yakuza Zero but I can't really say as I still need to finish Yakuza 5 first.

None of the other top games really caught my eye in the slightest.

Actually I see Sonic Mania in the list, I played that on the Switch but I'm sure it's the same on the PS4 as well, I'd say that would probably be my game of the year for the PS4, it was really good and the soundtrack was awesome, it's not that far behind in being my goty overall.

Can I give Dirt 4 a shout out? Not my game of the year, but it was my game of Summer 2017, love it to bits.
