Although there’s still a long way until the end of 2017, some great video games have already been released this year. These include Arkane Studios’ surprisingly good Prey, and Capcom’s survival horror hit Resident Evil 7.
And even if more great games are in store for fans of video games this year, it’s clear there have been some fantastic releases to date in 2017. So, without further ado, here follows a list of the top 5 video games which have come out in the year so far.
5. Prey
Playing as Prey protagonist Morgan Yu, you have to discover what’s going on aboard the creepy Talos I space station .
This game from Dishonored 2 makers Arkane Studios is one of the best sci-fi action games of the year. It draws inspiration from genre classics such as Dead Space, Deus Ex and even puzzle game Portal 2, while still having an identity of its own. The search for identity is also one of the game’s themes: playing as protagonist Morgan Yu, you must figure out who you really are and what’s going on aboard the Talos I space station.
Talos I sure is a superbly realised setting. It is full of nooks and crannies to explore, as you search for clues about the experiments being carried out by the sinister Transtar corporation. Along the way, you’ll have to deal with the Typhon – a breed of aliens let loose by an accident aboard the station. So despite the fact that Prey’s story is only so-so, and that this doesn’t last as long as you may like, it still offers a unique experience and is one of the best games of 2017 so far.
Came out on: PS4, Xbox One and PC.
