Kevin's top 10 games of 2017 - 2

#2: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

It's hard to know what to say about this monolith of a title that hasn't already been covered.  For many, including myself, this was THE reason to buy a Nintendo Switch.  Judging by the discourse around the game, everybody seems to be more than satisfied with this generation-ender / launch title.  At face value, it's like delivering on all the promises that Bethesda-style open world games welch on:  You CAN actually go to that mountain in the distance and climb it.  The game DOES just manage to work.  And all the more surprisingly inside of a Zelda game, a series that has always touted an open-ish world with a deceptively linear through line.  But now we are really choosing what we want to do, weather it's head to the four corners of the world, tame horses, solve riddles, or just speed-run for the final boss.
