your game of the year so far

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

If we are going by games that were actually released this year, it would default to Mass Effect: Andromeda. Which I do enjoy, just not sure if it's GOTY material.

Now, for games that I played for the first time this year, there are a few options. For now, the one I'm going to have to go with is Kingdom Hearts 1.5: Final Mix. As a Kingdom Hearts fan, I of course bought the HD rereleases for the PS4, and that's the one I am currently working on to give myself a story refresher before KH3 comes out.


Still early in the year, so those are at best temporary choices.

Well, before, I mentioned that it was probably going to be Persona 5, once I got a hold of it.

Guess what? It's Persona 5.

This is my new standard for RPG goodness. It was tied with P3 and P4, but P5 took it to new heights of entertainment.

Hooray for Atlus and all those fine people who worked on this game.

(Still surprised that the localization took so long, though.)

Everything I've heard says it's not coming out until later this year, but there's only one game in contention for my 2017 GotY.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.

It's more or less going back to the PS2-era Ace Combat style. Strangereal instead of the real world, pitting Osea against Erusea this time.

Considering Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War was my first Ace Combat and is still my favorite, I'm looking forward to coming home to Osea.
