Biggest surprises -
Severed - DrinkBox has a proven track record, but I was suprised by Severed's mechanical depth and level design
Song of the Deep - it doesn't look like anything special but this is the best "Metroidvania" in a while
RIVE - I though Two Tribes might mail in their final game, but it's a hidden gem
Pokken Tournament - what could have been a cycnical cash grab turned into the best fighter of the year
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare - like most of the human race I though IW looked terrible, but the campaign is the best in a decade
Biggest dissapointments -
TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan - this lifeless mess was especially disappointing after the solid Transformers: Devastation
Zero Time Dilemma - a pale shadow of the brilliant Virtue's Last Reward
Genre of the year -
Shooter - this might be the best year for shooters ever, definitely since 2007

The Last Guardian - a leap forward for the symbiotic gameplay of Ico

Most anticipated game 2017/18 -
