Holy fuck! Looks like i was overseas when they announced this and it has online multiplayer aswell! If you are a fan of the Gameboy Pokemon TCG this is the good stuff right here. Best thing about this and the first game is no IAP! For those that don't know it's by the same guys as Little Dew and the cards feature characters from all Ludosity's previous games.

Interesting, but I don't know what I'd get for EUR 24 on the Ubi store outside of Flashback and the 2017 Tom Clancy game :S

Yakuza is coming to PC!
In the form of a port of a new mobile online game
Well, at least they recognize PC as a platform.
Nice list. I found a couple of new games.
I forgot to whistlist this. But I'm torn between this and D:OS 2.
They're out almost at the same day. :/
This got my attention when it first revealed. I'm still on the fence though, would like to see more and how deep the RPG elements are.
This looks interesting. Kinda reminds me of YS with Zelda elements. Animation is a bit janky, but it's promising.
This one is a newest entry from Indonesian developer. Turn-based JRPG fans should buy this. Please be good.
But.. your list is missing the most important game in September..
For me its probably a 3 way tie between Hollow Knight, RE7 and Bayonetta. Leaning more towards Bayo for now.
Still a lot of stuff left that I wanna play b4 the end of the year tho. Like Nier, Prey and ofc Divinity 2. Lots of great games this year so I think SteamGaf GOTY will be LIT. Can't wait to see what wins.

Come on now, the sin's hardly original at this point.

I haven't completed Zelda but I have put a ton of time into it and it's already head and shoulders above anything else I've played this year.
If we're talking PC, I was completely blown away by Nier Automata when it came out. However, the poor (or rather, nonexistent) way in which SE has handled the PC port patching has lowered it's image in my mind. It's not particularly rational because the actual game experience is still amazing but as a product I've stopped recommending it to anyone.
In the last month or so I've fallen deep into a PUBG shaped hole and that is easily one of the most fun games I've played this year despite all the bugs and lack of polish.
Prey was also really good. I had some issues with the game design while playing it but looking back on it now it was a pretty fantastic experience and the only (minor) complaint I still have is that you spend the last hour or two backtracking a lot.
And a couple of games that kind of flew under the radar that I also really enjoyed were What Remains of Edith Finch (which is possibly my favorite 'walking simulator' now) and Lego City Undercover which was just pure goofy fun to play.
And there are still some really big games to come... Wolf 2, Divinity Original Sin 2, Mario Odyssey. 2017 has been a good year.

Steam or everything?
Nier Automata for Steam, and Nioh for everything.
Actually, I was hoping that they would go with a new IP instead of Original Sin.
They can still use the same engine and assets like how Obsidian went from Pillars to Tyranny.

Shame they haven't announced Yakuza for PC yet. Sega Europe has been hinting at it but, alas, Sega Japan must be holding things back.
I don't know, being persuaded by a snake to eating magical allegorical apples that represent human sexuality and shame is still kind of clever and unique, even after 6000 years. Yahweh still had some good ideas when he was relatively younger. I mean, these days you hardly hear anything from the guy.
Considering Sega Japan's priority for Asia in localisation, better to not expect too much. Kiwami 2 and HnK Gotoku are day and date Chinese/Japanese and so far PS4 only
Yakuza Online is probably another PSO2 and won't even be on Steam. Probably won't be localised in English like that title.

It's a run-and-gun, with an emphasis on boss battles.
Haven't played many new releases this year so I'm fairly limited with what I can go with. Probably RE7 for now. There's still some time left though so that'll probably change.

FOR FUCK SAKE I HATE SEGA.
It's a fuckin Hokuto No Ken game by Yakuza devs and its likely a PS4 exclusive cause fuck SEGA.
Everytime a Yakuza game is releasing, I wanna hold up in case it will end on Steam. Everytime I get the game on D1 or (like Y0) some days later.
Why SEGA hates PC, despite their ports selling well? Instead they give us Yakuza Online, probably a crappy browser game nobody asked for.

Them old oyajis couldn't give a damn about the glorious Mega Drive and Saturn eras nowadays either.
Seeing all the GOTY candidates make me realize how much I've missed. My list is so sad haha, maybe Unexplored but other than that nothing worth really to mention. I think I also have to abstain from this years Steam GOTY. But overall I am glad that it seems to have been a great year, I have tons in my "play as soon as I can" list.
It's ~$42 on CD Keys if you're okay with a resold key.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I said it last year and it bears repeating; I'd rather have people vote for one thing they liked than not vote at all because they didn't play five things they loved.
Last year had a disappointingly low voter turn out.

Yeah, agreed.
This year, I probably would only vote for 3-4 games. I didn't play that many 2017 Steam release.
Also, I'm not sure how multiplatform games work for the voting. If I played Nier on PS4, will I be able to vote for Steam GOTY?

Nope that's banned. If you didn't play it on PC then you can't count it.
more than half of my steam votes from the prior years are from playing the console versions lol

Funny how all consoles uses American components.
I've seen Doom cheaper on Steam
Not surprising. If it has been cheaper on consoles, I would have bet this is nowhere near the best price.
Quake CHampions still seems to be in the 1000 player range. I don't think this game is going to take off

There are a lot more on the Bethesda Launcher though.
And I think it'll gain more popularity once it goes "F2P".

just back to gaming after one year of IRL problems. the amount of games to get is too much
I suggest first playing some music from music folders, pref. your fav. tracks compiled into a playlist.
While that's running categorize the games in your library into genres then decide which genre of games to tackle first.
