So, out of this list I've bought/or planning to buy the following games (in bold I highlighted the games that I enjoyed)

2017:

Nier: Automata
Zelda: BOTW
Persona 5
Yakuza 0 (still in backlog, can't say anything about it)
NiOH (maybe?)

2020:

AC: New Horizons
Doom Eternal
FF7 Remake
Persona 5 Royal (I'll 100% like it)
Ori And The Will of The Wisps
RE3 (maybe?)
Granblue Fantasy Versus (maybe?)
NiOH 2 (maybe?)

So, 2020 seems to be more packed with interesting games, but the question is will all those games be able to top Persona 5/Nier Automata duo? I'm not so sure. Still, 2020 seems to be shaping up to be the second best year of eighth gen, after 2017 of course.

P.S. Ori And The Blind Forest Definitive Edition is not 2017 game, it is a 2016 game. Also, Tokyo Mirage Sessions is a pretty good JRPG released earlier this year, it is definitely worth mentioning as well.
