OK, so results are done. This was my first time and the data is obviously different, so it will be a little more stripped down and some lessons were learned (by myself). I hope it's good enough for your folks. The affinity data etc. had to all be dropped but I'll have a think about that for next year.

Reserved for lessons learned feedback

1. Publish list beforehand
2. Cross genres caused some issues at the end (e.g. Rime being adventure/puzzle)
3. Get someone to do graphics - took time!
4. Make sure another mod is available to correct errors (again)

GJ OP. I didn't play nearly enough games last year to actively participate, but I appreciate the effort you put in.

"Tekken: 760" but not in top 20? Maybe Tekken 7: 60?

What was PC GOTY?

Yeah, it also did the same with Injustice 2, oh well. Fixed. I did have the PC list, just must have skipped it by accident. I'll add it later as out atm. Here are the standings though

Divinity: Original Sin II
Hollow Knight
Bayonetta
A Hat in Time
Total War: Warhammer II

It’s too bad Prey didn’t make the shortlist. It’s a really special game.

Nier being so high is a pleasant surprise to me! It was my number 1 this year.

Wow! That's a damn good list. Happy to see Horizon, and Zelda on the top spots. Good job, cormack12! Highly appreciated.

Glad The Evil Within 2 is nowhere in sight, what a disappointing sequel to a legendary game.

I think thats a good looking list personally.

Owning an Xbox One X, PS4 Pro and nice PC so I am not hating on any system but the Xbox top 3 are all on PC as well, just sayin :)

Yeah not really a good year for Microsoft for exclusives. Hopefully they have a much better 2018.

Glad to see Nier Automata up there and in the spotlight -- how things have changed since the first Nier game came out on the PS3.

Awesome work mate! Probably the best list I've seen on the net for last year. :D Love the key words bit you made for them all!

Thx for the hard work, Cormack.

I voted Mario no.1 but happy to see Zelda take it, truly a legendary game.

Btw I wrote "dynamite dux cameo" as one of my reasons to love sonic mania so if anyone isn't clear why those words are floating around in the typography art, now you know

Thanks for organizing this cormack. I like the use of word clouds

Never was much of a Zelda fan so I was "whatever" about BotW most of 2017... until I finally tried it in December last year. Yeah, that game deserves the top spot.

Great list actually. While I personally had hoped that Persona would break into the top 3, I understand it's not for everyone. Great list OP

Wow! What a cool way to see how the game was talked about! Absoluteley love how some of the bigger words actually represent the game 100%!

Cant disagree with any choice!

Congrats on this, amazing job!

overall a meh list, well deserved and an obvious number 1
number 2, the Far Cry clone should have been a bit lower, RE7 and Yakuza 0 should have been much higher
the game with a great soundtrack and an awful everything should not even be in the top 10
walking simulator is right where it belongs
a remastered should not be allowed in there
the most depressing and boring game of all time should be number -20
a port of an overrated game should not be allowed in there

awesome thread, great work with the word clouds and the pictures. Nice ranking also, 2017 was a hell of a year, hope 2018 is half as good.

Agreed, 2017 was a phenomenal year for us gamers and if 2018 can keep up the momentum we have a hell of a year ahead!

Awesome job OP! Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this!

Glad to see Divinity: Original Sin II just sneak into the top 10.

I really should play Yakuza 0, Nier Automata and Horizon Zero Dawn. Given my policy on DLC (don't buy it) I am always a little behind. I am currently working my way through The Witcher 3 (amazing!) and since Horizon ZD has a complete edition, I will probably go with that next. However, I think Witcher 3 is going to take me a long time to finish, so much to do. Currently laying the smack down on some fools in Gwent.

What a great job OP. Thank you.
Yakuza 0 is on my next to play list. I'm glad Origins got some recognition, that game is a gem regardless of the stigma over the past games in the franchise. I am yet to finish Breath of the Wild. Again, great job here.
