Best Of 2017… Games (still to come)

Andrew Brooker examines some of the best games still to come in 2017..

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Developer: Machine Games
Platform: Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC
Release Date: 27th October

With a not-so-subtle hint that the game was in development at E3 2016, the world went a little bit crazy at the thought of yet more of the recently rebooted Wolfenstein series. Fast paced and visceral action was the order of the day for the spectacularly fun The New Order and its prequel expansion The Old Blood, and we lapped it up. Like the DOOM reboot that followed it, publisher Bethesda knows how to keep their audience salivating.

Jump forward a year or two and here we are. A sequel is almost here and the trailers that landed back in June promise nothing but good things.

The escapades of B.J Blazkowicz and his merry band of rebels fighting Nazis have been keeping gamers’ bloodlust confined to computers and consoles for more than thirty years. Keeping us riveted in an alternate universe where Hitler’s Germany is the most technologically advanced country in the war, it uses that might to carve a trail of destruction across Europe which has been a pleasure and a privilege to play. We should all be thanking our lucky stars that the saga continues this year.
