Current Events > The top five games you first played this year

(+) Yeah! (+)

They don't have to have come out this year, but don't consider games that you've always loved and have kept playing this year

For me:
Sonic Mania
Stardew Valley
Hitman
Dirt 4
Life is Strange
---

Game of Life
Game of Money
Game of Women
Game of Power
Game of Thrones
---

Zelda BotW
Splatoon 2
Shovel Knight & Spector of Torment
Stardew Valley
---

I don't know if I've ever played 5 games for the first time this year. Anyway, from what I can remember:

Happy Room
Shadowrun Returns
Ys VI: Ark in Napishtim
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Misery (mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat)
---

Yakuza 0
Nier Automata
Yakuza Kiwami
Persona 5
Tales of Berseria
---

No particular order:

Salt and Sanctuary (indie game heavily inspired by Dark Souls, but with platform jumps)

Darkest Dungeon (absolutely loved everything about this game, though some people might be turned off by the "bad luck" random number generator moments)

Tekken 7 (it controls well, is mostly balanced for a fighter and has new characters)

Divinity: Original Sin, Enhanced Edition (this RPG has so much depth; there are a bunch of different ways to play it)

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Game of the Year Edition (Not finished yet, but I'm really liking all the missions and hunting the war chiefs)

Yes, most of these games are at least a year old, but the upside is I bought most of them for under $10.

Gotcha. Great series. Definitely check out some of the other popular ones as well. Symphonia and Vesperia for sure, a lot of people like Abyss and Xillia as well.

Zelda, Persona 5, Dragon Ball Fusions
I've been kinda slacking this year, depression is a bitch.
---

Trails in the Sky FC
Trails in the Sky SC
Pillars of Eternity

Other than some mobile games... I haven't really played too much this year, hoping to change that this month.
---

In no particular order:

Nier Automata
Persona 5
Hollow Knight
Dishonored 2
Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentia
---

Fifa 17
Civ v
---

Breath of the Wild
Oracle of Seasons
Oracle of Ages
Sonic Mania
Prey

And I think the only other game I've played for the first time this year aside from those is ME: Andromeda. I made sure to separate the Oracle games just to exclude Andromeda. Although I also did really like both of them.
