Either mode , the 2017 Game of the Year nominees have been announced , and they ’re fairly much exactly what you ’d await .

Other candidate for Game of the Year areThe Legend of Zelda : breather of the Wild , Super Mario Odyssey , Persona 5 , and most polemically , PlayerUnknown ’s Battlegrounds , a plot still in Early Access .
