GameTech: B-listers offer plenty of gameplay

When it comes to hyperbole, the games industry is without doubt the single greatest achievement in human history. 

Jokes aside, this industry does tend to overhype and exaggerate a little. For once, however, the hyperbole is justified — 2017 really was one of the greatest years ever for gaming.

To honour this year, we’re not going to bring you a list of the top games of 2017. That list pretty much writes itself, with Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds and Horizon Zero Dawn all vying for top spot. Instead, here’s an alternative list of gems that we enjoyed this year, a tribute to the also-rans and B-listers.
