2017 - the year of the modern classic

2017 wasn't a year of foundational genre defining games in the same way as '94 or '97 but it was a year stacked with games that refined themselves down to some of the highest expressions of their genres, producing some of the greatest modern classics in gaming like

- Super Mario Odyssey
- BOTW
- Resident Evil 7
- Persona 5
- Sonic Mania
- Hollow Knight
- Nier Automata
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Divinity: OS 2

In terms of knowing what you like already and just getting the absolute best possible version of that game to play I don't think there's ever been a gaming year as richly packed as 2017.

Also, completely aside from this thesis PUBG came out and set the world of fire and then Fortnite came out, stole most of its thunder, made twice as much again and made the battle royale genre a household name, whcih was kinda impressive I guess
