The sprawling country features everything from dangerous mountaintops and cascading coca farms to swamps and salt flats, giving your team of Tier 1 operatives several breathtaking vistas to enjoy while you dismantle the cartel piece by piece.īest Character – General Engel – Wolfenstein II: The New ColossusĪ short-tempered leader, loveless mother, and cruel administrator of justice, General Irene Engel served admirably in her promoted role as the central antagonist in The New Colossus. One of the most diverse biomes in the world, Bolivia served as a fantastic backdrop for the Ghosts' black ops war against the Mexican Santa Blanca drug cartel. The New Colossus may confuse you and test your limits for zigzagging plots, but you certainly can't forget it.īest Setting: Bolivia – Ghost Recon Wildlands The memorable moments are so overflowing from this stellar campaign that we had a hard time picking our favorite sequence. Over the course of the zany journey, our buzz-haired hero confronted the demons of his past, raised his Nazi body-count by a couple hundred, and took the fight against Hitler to space once again. His cast of fellow freedom fighters grew considerably as the resistance efforts expanded into mainland America. The second Wolfenstein game from MachineGames took hero BJ Blazkowicz in surprising directions that required a hefty suspension of disbelief. So which games won over the Game Informer staff? Check out the awards.īest Campaign: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Battlefield 1's expansions kept players coming back to World War I. Rainbow Six Siege continued its improbable rise. Overwatch had a steady stream of new heroes, maps, and seasonal events.
Studios also supported prior releases extremely well in 2017. Whether you rolled, solo, as a duo, or in a group, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds proved to be the most addicting shooter of the year, racking up more than 30 million players in less than a year despite it being a rough early access experience for most of the year.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus made us smile, laugh, and stare in wonder with its schizophrenic story and pulse-pounding action. Ghost Recon Wildlands put the dormant Tom Clancy brand back on the map with a fresh take on open world tactics. Whether you were looking for a cooperative romp, competitive firefights, or a story-based campaign, 2017 had you covered.
I think you can argue that the year more than held its own. Given that 2016 was a landmark year for shooters with standouts like Doom, Battlefield 1, and Overwatch, 2017 had big combat boots to fill.
