Cuphead - $19.99 It's the first game on our list this year, but it's also one of the best games of 2017! Cuphead is simply a must own title that should be in every gamers collection. It's like a 1940s cartoon come to life, and that isn't an overstatement. If you love video games that are gorgeous and offer up a serious challenge, then Cuphead is a game that you'll fall in love with.  Sonic Mania - $19.99 Two different Sonic games came out this year. One 3D one by a huge team of dozens of people working around the globe, and the other a 2D game by two guys and one super fan. As you can guess, the 2D game was Sonic Mania and it's the best Sonic game to ever be released. The other, Sonic Forces, just came out and has already been forgotten. Crash N-Sane Trilogy - $34.99 2017 really does seem like it was the year of some amazing classic franchises coming back, and the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy helps lend credence to that thought. Rebuilt from the ground up, the game features the three PS1 era games redone with modern visuals on the PS4. What's more, the game seemed to get harder in the process and that's fine by us who cut their teeth on the classic Crash series back in the day. 12 GAMBIT | DECEMBER 2017
