We’ve been busy. Like, really busy. Behind the scenes we’ve prepped no less than 30 articles, all of which are set to run over the holiday break. Among them is our Game of the Year countdown: our 10 favourite PlayStation 4 titles from 2017, in descending order.
This year was really difficult to determine because there were just so many great titles to pick from. We started out with a shortlist of 110 (!!!) contenders, and then cut that down to 50 favourites. We then pulled our whole team together, and asked them to vote for their five favourites. Almost every game on the list got at least one vote, which rarely ever happens.
Eventually, we ended up with a top ten. And we’ve written about each of those games individually. Starting from 23rd December through to 1st January, we’ll be gradually revealing our favourites on a daily basis. But you can also look forward to personal picks from our staff and much more.
So do make sure you take the time out from your Christmas break to check out the site and see which title won our Game of the Year gong. And also keep your eye out for a smattering of other features, including Best Of lists and the continuation of the Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament. There’s lots to look forward to over the holidays.

Thanks for all your hard work guys, very much appreciated!
Keep up the great stuff
So the big question for game of the year... Persona 5 or Horizon? It has to be between those two right? Or could Nier Automata sneak in and steal the crown? Or could Mass Effect Andromeda turn its frowns upside down? No probably not.
It'll be interesting to see how similar this is to the list the forum voted for a couple of weeks ago. I can't see it being radically different, although there may be a few surprises
@Rudy_Manchego We also have an Uncharted game, Resident Evil 7 and Nex Machina as possibles. My money is on Horizon though. I have a feeling Crash Bandicoot will make an appearance. And maybe Tekken 7?
As BarnJ0 says, will be interesting to compare the staff vote to the forum vote.
@LieutenantFatman @BranJ0 I think it could be wildly different. I can see What remains of Edith Finch and Hellblade being high up the staff list. Games most of us in the forums failed to play.
Great year pushsquare have a great Christmas. Its all your fault Im getting £500 worth of Sony stuff for xmas so you guys have done something right. Looking forward to the upcoming articles.
@LieutenantFatman Yeah I could see a high ranking for Resi 7 defo. Also, thinking about it, Final Fantasy XII was also pretty well reviewed. Tough year!
@themcnoisy Good point, both meant to be excellent games and I haven't played either of them yet. The problem with Hellblade is you can't ask for it as an Xmas Pressie or borrow it from a friend as it's download only.
Persona or bust
Sonic Forces
Titanfall 2 for me... an exceptional game. Then probably Resident Evil 7 in VR.
@YETi Titanfall 2 launched last year?
STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2!!!!!
@FullbringIchigo the force is weak with that one.
How could it not be Horizon Zero Dawn. It was such a great game from every aspect.
@Elodin well 2 things
ONE: i never played Zero Dawn so i wouldn't pick it, no point picking a game i never played
and TWO the BF2 post was a joke
Looking forward to it! Number 1 would be Persona 5 or Hellblade for me, but I kinda expect Horizon to make the top spot.
@get2sammyb @YETi
Titanfall 2 was released late 2016, I remember it getting a huge sale around Black Friday last year. Great game though, I really enjoyed it.
I'm really curious about the top 10 of you guys. My GOTY is Horizon Zero Dawn and Persona 5 is my second favorite.
My top list would include: Gravity Rush 2, Nioh, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Nier: Automata, Wolfenstein 2, Prey, Guardians of the Galaxy, Yooka-Laylee (don't laugh) and South Park.
Sigh, I still need to play games like Yakuza Zero, Resident Evil 7 and AC Origins.
@get2sammyb so it did... whoops 🙄
@LieutenantFatman yeah it was 🙄whoops
My GOTY is What Remains of Edith Finch, followed by Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
I think I spent most time playing Gems of War and Guns Up!
Special mention to Pinball FX3 for giving all tables if you already bought them.
I will be looking forward to that list. I guess I may own several but not played any of them. Hoping 2018 will be more of a backlog year for me.
@Rudy_Manchego I know the answer but sadly I cant reveal it.
Meet me in the alleyway with a briefcase full of small bills. Come alone.
@Tasuki Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more. I will have a limp, a fake German accent and the password is 'I buy loot boxes'.
That pun in the headline should read, Winner winner chicken dinner.
@FullbringIchigo haha I know it was a joke. My reply was an added joke. The next line was my personal opinion,hence the space between the 2 comments. Sorry about the confusion.
Nioh has to be on there. An exclusive no less.
@Elodin it's fine, it hard to convey humor in text
