On Twitter, there have been several popular hashtags trending lately: #7FavTVShows, #7FavGames, #7FavMovies, etc…
And then I’ve seen some internet personalities discussing these hashtags, mainly #7FavGames and I was wondering… what would my #7FavGames be?

[B]1. The Last Guardian[/B] ; The story affected me more than any other in recent memory in ANY medium, not just video games.
[B]2. Uncharted 4[/B] ; So good. This was my number 1 until last week. The perfect end to Nathan Drake’s story.
[B]3. The Witness [/B]; I loved every second I played this game. The most beautiful puzzle game ever created.
[B]4. No Man’s Sky[/B] ; It gets a lot of hate, but I can’t stop playing it - especially after base building was added. It awoke the amateur photographer in me.
[B]5. Street Fighter V[/B] ; The best fighter I’ve ever played. I just wish I were better…
[B]6. The Tomorrow Children[/B] ; Amazing visuals and concept.
[B]7. ABZÛ[/B] ; Journey underwater. Nuff said.
[B]8. Firewatch[/B] ; Gonna be honest - I haven’t finished this yet, but the graphics and dialogue are top notch.
[B]9. Gemini: Heroes Reborn[/B] ; Shockingly good and WAY better than the TV series it was based on.
[B]10. Table Top Racing: World Tour[/B] ; It’s no Micro Machines V3, but still fun.
x. Life is Strange, LEGO Dimensions, Destiny and Star Wars Battlefront DLC took up the rest of my time, but they aren’t 2016 games.
The format looks weird because I posted this first at NeoGAF and it needs to be done in a certain way for my votes to be counted.
I think this is as good a place as any for us to put up our GOTYs for the 2017. Here’s my list so far:
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Destiny 2
Injustice 2
Star Wars Battlefront 2
Micro Machines World Tour
Marvel Heroes Omega
Not in the list yet, but hopefully I can play some of them before 2018.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm
Batman: The Telltale Series Season 2
Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series
Last Day of June
Now, you might be saying, “Smurf, this list is pretty anemic. What were you doing with your life in 2017?” Well, I played a bunch of 2016 (and earlier) games that took up a lot of time too including The Last of Us Remastered, Ratchet and Clank, NMS, Batman: TTS Season 1, Destiny 1 and Battlefront 1.
