God of war wins and MHW on a very close second.

haven't played a single game on that list So I'm going with Hollow Knight if that qualifies

I came to this poll to write those very exact same words.

Hollow knight is an 2017 release, and a amazing game.

Far Cry 5 deserves to be on that poll ahead of about half the games on that poll. Well at least on of the games should have been replaced by other on that poll.

Nothing do or will come close to God of War this year, instant GOTY.
Next year the GOTY is also locked on Ghost of Tsushima. (even with TLoU 2, Nioh 2 and Sekiro)

Red Dead Redemption 2 just needs to match the first game in quality and it will be better then God of War.  Forza Horizon 4 just needs to be slightly better then the third one and it will be almost as good or just as good as God of War.

That is one terrible poll there. Where is Far Cry 5, Dragonball Fighterz and A Way Out?

You can replace those random games no one even knows about with these.

Totally agree at least he should have replaced one of those random games with a other option.

Farcry 5 and SoD 2 were my favorite, since they aren't on the list.

How does Far Cry 5 compare to 1-4 and Primal? I don't know where people would rank it.

I pre-ordered Detroit but every time I tried to play it, something happened. Well, I'm playing it now and it's EASILY my favorite new experience of the year. Haven't finished it yet but it is a hell of a ride!

GOW, of course.

Redemption was amazing but it was about GoW III level, a bit lower.

GoW 4 was leaps and bounds better than III, so no, if Redemption 2 is as good as the first it won't come close to GoW 4.

Red Dead Redemption has a higher metascore then any GOW game so yeah again if RDR 2 is as good as the first one it will be better then God of War.
