Here is part two of our top 10 games of 2017. Do note that two games from the second half of the list are exclusively on the Nintendo Switch while there’s another game that is exclusively for PC. Of course, it will be made available for the Xbox One in due time. One can only hope it’ll be available for the PS4 someday.

If you think we have missed out any of the games that have been a hit this year, be sure to leave a comment below. Also, we would like to know which 10 games do you think have been the most popular and successful this year.

5. Super Mario Odyssey

The first 3D platform game as well as the first to function exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, everyone’s favourite Italian plumber is back. As an added instalment into the Super Mario series, Super Mario Odyssey follows Mario on his journey to save Princess Peach from Bowser (again!), who is trying to marry her (again!). Mario is joined by Cappy, a ghost that has taken possession over Mario’s hat. Super Mario Odyssey strays away from its linear gameplay that has made its other titles popular, this time following a more open-ended, exploration-based gameplay

4. Nioh

Nioh is an action role-playing game with similar game elements with the likes of Bloodborne and Dark Souls. Developed by Team Ninja, Nioh was exclusive to just the PS4 but its PC version was recently released a month ago. The game puts you in the control of William, a sailor-cum-samurai who must wander the early 1600s era of Japan and defeat demons and monsters who are enveloped in the war. As a no-holds-barred type of game that isn’t afraid of you dying over and over, Nioh requires a certain mentality and mindset that you can and will be defeated.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Coming in at number three is the return of one of the most iconic video game franchises in gaming history: The Legend of Zelda. As the eighteenth entry into the franchise, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild gives you back Link as he wakes up from a hundred-year slumber. You will then have to traverse its new open-world setting with an open-ended gameplay system. The gameplay mechanics of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild also encourages players to explore and experiment with Link, giving you near-limitless possibilities when it comes to our favourite amnesiac.

2. Horizon Zero Dawn

Having been in development since 2011, Guerilla Games definitely hit this one out of the park as Horizon Zero Dawn has become the best-selling original IP on the PlayStation 4 when it first released, selling three million copies in June 2017. What makes this game great is its in-depth open world setting, a compelling storyline complete with a diverse range of characters and exemplary visuals to boot. The game starts you off as Aloy as you explore the deep open world filled with mechanical beasts.

1. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG)

Arguably the most popular video game of 2017, PlayUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a multiplayer online battle arena which pits up to 100 players in a single game against one another. The objective: to be the last man standing. That means using anything and everything in your power to best the 99 other opponents in your way to achieving the ever-elusive, “Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.” The game starts you off on a dystopian island where, somehow, there are numerous weapons, armour and ammo littered around the map. You will be airdropped into the field where you scavenge and find the best way to survive while taking out enemies at the same time.
