Yakuza Zero, and probably Nier (and maybe Tekken 7 and Last Guardian as well) – these have been on my wishlist for a while. Wuhu!

@Retro88 Yeah, God of Constantly Getting His Ass Kicked doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Wife is currently playing it on PC (having finished the first on PS4), and is now excited to replay it on the Playstation.

Skipped it on release largely because of the stupid ‘buy an orc’ system, so yeah, I might pick it up in a sale now. Mordor was dumb fun.

Just got the update and it really is that good.

Finally got around to Horizon Zero Dawn – man, that is a fun game. I'll probably end up going plat.

Oxenfree easily exceeded my expectations. I am definitely up for this.

As a complete newbie in terms of Souls, I made two important lessons early on in BB: 1.Don't worry about the axe-fella hiding in an alley until later, just leave him be; and 2. running past enemies is a very viable option.

Down with the flu, so I wanted something that wouldn't hurt me … so, pleasantly surprised by Rime.

I don't think they would ask if it wasn't already decided. Good thing, too.

Oh, look, the game at a discount! [sticks it in the pile] And I'll take pretty much anything with Donnie Yen.

For now, just P4 for PS4, please. Then, more.

I gave both Heavy Raina and Two Souls a go last year and thought they were terrible. Cage does not have a clue about how to write believable characters and too much of the stories feels contrived. Credit for helping promote the interactive story genre, and I would normally root for the "small" studio – but I am not at all impressed by their response to the current allegations.

There are some nice pictures in the "Atlas" as well, of Sinai and Valley of Kings.

Definitely PR speak, but part of that is also taking into account the current market reality, which is that MTX etc. is extremely unpopular. He won't change his ways out of the good of his heart, but in lieu of earnings? Sure, I can believe that.

Playing this year for the first time as well. Wonder if there'll be VR, similar to Last Guardian … because that demo was really good.

Got HZD Complete Ed.

I decided to give Injustice 2 a go (Tekken having always been my fighting game of choice), and it was surprisingly good. Some of the actual melee animations are a bit stiff, and the character design is extremely hammy. But levelling, depth and environments make up for it. A pleasant surprise. (Easy to agree with the rest of the list).

Rumour has it, L. A. Noire VR Case Files as well. I'd buy that.

I didn't Like Unfinished Swan at all, but What Remains is currently my favourite for 2017! Fantastic. Haven't tried Pyre (probably because I enjoyed but was also somewhat disappointed in both Bastion and Transistor), but otherwise agree with this list.

I realise I haven't played all the 2017 games I should, but of the ones I managed, this one really stood out. A great piece work from Ninja Theory.

Oh, and WipEout VR?

Got VR for Christmas! Nice to have even more to look forward to.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice – which is surprisingly grim, even with what I knew going in.

Wow. Too long to wait.

I am a big LC fan, but as others have the said, the writing has been pretty bad. Rise was pretty much a rehash of all the first game's storybeats. And Lara turning increasingly in to Daddy's Little Girl – urgh. So here's hoping there's some improvements on that front.

There is also this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXgtDs1oOlQ&t=0s

Yep, that's probably a buy – if at a reasonable cost.

Got it on Black Friday – now my son won't let me have the PS, he's so into it.

(Do these sales figures still not include digital?)

It's the LV 426 sim, including socialising, tricycle challenges and terraforming. Sans aliens.

Persona 5, Wolfenstein, Lost Legacy and GTAV. Maybe HZD, but I think I'll be holding out for the GotY edition. Maybe AC: Origins.

I only came in after Unity was patched, and IMO it is far better than Syndicate with its flat characters, flashy but brainless fights and mediocore story (on par with Unity, to be fair). But I look forward to Origins.

I love these little games. Playing it.

Holding out for a remaster for the first game anyway.

I've been pretty much out of the loop since PS1, so for me, all these remakes and remasters are very welcome.

Loved New Order – looking forward to this one!

Just began Until Dawn, with some WipEout in between.

Glad to hear it. Don't know when I'll have the time to play this, but I will definitely spend some money on it just to support their effort and ideas in terms of subject matter and games publishing.

I have to admit … I actually quite like the look of the two DLCs.

@Wesker Spot on. Except, I do hope the side missions will be more worthwhile this time around. But my first meeting with AC was Black Flag, and it was great, in large part because all the extra "content" seemed too opaque to bother with so I just focused on the story (and sinking some ships).
