We've narrowed the list down to five worthy entries, which we'll be going through in no particular order.
The following games simply weren't good enough far from it in fact. It's nice to talk about all the great games that were released this year, but we're also not going to let slide the games that really disappointed us, and there's a few that stick out like a sore thumb. While outside of our usual scope, we must recognize that it arguably was an even better year for consoles with hits like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon Zero Dawn dominating discussion for game of the year. For our year's favorites see our Best PC Games You Should be Playing list which is updated a few times a year with a combination of the games we are playing (and thus recommend) and newer entries which we deem worth of your time and attention. Without a doubt, 2017 was a great year for gamers and it certainly saw a number of excellent titles released on PC, including Prey, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Wolfenstein II, Battlegrounds, and many more.
