Horizon Zero Dawn.

No love for Life of the Black tiger eh? Only Sony's best published title ever!

I heard Persona 5 is good, but I haven't played it, yet. Finally got Horizon though!

I love it. I saw the Jim Sterling bit about it, but after you mentioning it again, I googled it, and almost died from laughter having found Sony's own trailer for the thing.

For me

1) Horizon Zero Dawn
2) Persona 5
3) Yakuza 0

For me, it would be a tie between Persona 5 and Horizon Zero Dawn. Such amazing games.

I haven´t played Nier Automata yet....

Horizon, Nioh, and Nier Automata have all been fantastic titles I cannot pick between.

Have not played Yakuza series so no comment on those.

Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn is still my game of the year (yes I've played Zelda BOTW- not a fan). Sony has been killing it this year! Picked up Gravity Rush 2 and RE7 (for my PSVR) in January, Nioh and Horizon in February, Nier: Automata in March, Persona 5 and Drawn to Death in April, Farpoint in May and Nex Machina and Crash in June. Nothing for me this month (not big into FF)- but picking up Uncharted: Lost Legacy next month, along with Everybody's Golf, GT Sport in October, and Hellblade and the Horizon story DLC whenever they come out. That's on top of the 3rd party holiday wave- Destiny 2, Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite, South Park: Fractured But Whole, COD: WW2 & Bartlefront 2. Still a ton of gaming for the rest of the year before the 2018 onslaught hits.

Ha, So far behind. I have yet to play a 2017 PS4 exclusive. In fact, looking at my trophy list at PSN Profiles, I've yet to play a 2016 PS4 exclusive. The closest to that would be Senran Kagura: Estival Versus also out on Vita and Steam. I'll bump the thread around 2019.
