Very ambivalent/polarizing year.
Let's be clear: tons and tons of great games game came out this year--enough that 2017 may be remembered as one of gaming's greatest years. See maybee's post for a partial list. But this is also the year of the lootbox and a lot of industry BS in general hangs a dark cloud on an otherwise amazing year that I'm lost at how to exactly characterize the year.
But still, lots of great games came out this year and that's wroth something.

I enjoyed persona 3 well enough, but I have had a damn near impossible getting into persona 4--largely due its story structure. Which is sad, since I know P4 is a good game. Alas, I'm afraid to pay money for P5 given my experience with P4.
