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.

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. ;)

DDLC for establishing the literature based suprise horror genre?

With these games remaining I vote for DOOM!

For the first time I have to abstain, not my cup of tea.

I didn't enjoy Doom, haven't played the others except for trying out Pokemon Go on PC. Without the gimmick of walking around (moving a cursor around on the map instead), not a fun game at all, just an addictive game play loop. And outside it looked like the zombie hordes had come :p

I still cycled a lot recreationally in 2016 and had to dodge tons and tons of people not looking where they were going, blocking pathways, gateways, mindlessly walking out in front of me. I have enough trouble with pedestrians not paying attention at where they are going without Pokemon go.

Doom, but I don't like tye direction the story went with the sequel. Even the original Doom timeline wasn't as cynical. -_-

Can’t vote for any runoff game.

Definitely Doom. Such a fun and refreshing new take on classic FPS design. It's definitely Top 3 for its generation.
