But indie games are 99% garbage. Even a soulless, mediocre AAA game is going to be more competent and enjoyable than a tired retro platformer or gimmicky visual novel. Cuphead is the only good indie game in years, because you can tell the devs put effort into it. Any other company would have gone for a generic 8-bit style rather than 30s-esaue animation.. The real crime is early access games like PUBG are eligible to be nominated. |

I'd rather put my money into an indie developer like CD Projekt, Psyonix, Capybara, PlatinumGames, Housemarque etc than put my trust in a company like EA. I mean look at EA and how they are handling the Star Wars and Need for Speed. |

So did Persona 5...with Yoshi and Poochy's Wooly World being a port of a 2 year old Wii U game. |

CD Projekt and Platinum are not indie developers, just for the record. Anyway, my pick would be Mario Odyssey as my Game of the Year. It was a nice return to the 64 and Sunshine era of Mario, surpassing them both. I was never big into the Galaxy games, and while NSMB and 3D Land series were fun, I've always been hankering for a modern take on the old collectathon Mario games. I technically played Persona 5 last year via import so it wasn't a contender for me. I expect either Mario or PUBG to win the award shows. Mario if they feel like being traditional, PUBG if they want to pander to the Internet/Twitch audience -Stuart Smith |

Ah, yes, Hollow Knight, Ruiner, Hat in Time, 2017 was truly just another year full of effortless pixelated side scrollers for indie games |
