Rip and vote until it is done.

For 2017 you really should put Yakuza 0 in the mix. Not that I expect it to win but it is the game that led to the resurgence of the series in the west according to SEGA. So it is important.

Yakuza 0 was a 2015 game.

There were a lot of strong contenders released in 2017, and they won't all fit into the poll.  For example, I remember several people voting for Divinity: Original Sin in 2014.  Well, most people consider the second game to be even better, but I doubt it will make it into the poll, because there are so many strong games in 2017.

I expect it to be more like the 1991 vote.  There will be a bunch of impressive games and yet one game will still clobber them all.

You mean, Zelda will win over a game that actually established a new genre? Yeah, I agree, pretty similar. ;)

The funny thing is that I am not even sure which 1991 game that established a genre you are referring to.  There are arguably 3 in that poll.  And yes Zelda still won, lol.
