2016 saw the release of some pretty epic games like Far Cry Primal, Uncharted 4, Quantum Break, and Skyrim Remastered. But 2017 has even more incredible looking games in store, and I couldn't be more excited to try these out.

1. Destiny 2

We don't know much about this release yet except that it might POSSIBLY be coming to PC instead of just Xbox One and PS4, and will have new mechanics, weapons, and abilities. Regardless, the first game was a lot of fun, so I'm anticipating this one.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

This game was announced in 2013, so it's safe to say it's highly anticipated. It was originally planned to be a Wii U exclusive released in 2015, but was delayed twice, and is now set for release in 2017. I think it's safe to say this is the most beautiful Zelda game ever created, and features some out-of-the-ordinary characteristics for a Zelda game. It will be the first Zelda game to feature a jump button for Link, and is also set to be open-world with a map 9 times the size of Skyrim's. And just look at those graphics.

3. Horizon Zero Dawn

I'm a sucker for games with female-leads, and this PS4 exclusive has one, so that was the first thing that drew me to it. But aside from that, what holds my attention is the gorgeous environment and the interesting storyline. It follows the story of a young girl named Aloy in a post-apocolyptic world ruled by machines. Since it combines my favorite things (female-leads, open-world style, gorgeous graphics, and a post-apocalyptic storyline) I'm definitely excited for this one.

I'm constantly amazed at how detailed and in-depth video games are becoming now. Yes sir, if video games are your thing, 2017 is going to be a beautiful year indeed.
