Stevivor’s RPG GOTY 2017: Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Stevivor’s Game of the Year (GOTY) 2017 continues with the Best RPG category.

Despite a number of worthy contenders, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has taken our top spot.

An open world filled with breakable weaponry, unquenchable fires and good old saving the world from Ganon wowed Stevivor’s staff this year. An amazing launch title for the Nintendo Switch, reviewer Ben Salter awarded the game a stellar 10/10.

Honourable mentions in this category go to a bunch of titles: Destiny 2 (PC, Xbox One, PS4), Final Fantasy XV (Xbox One, PS4), Persona 5 (PS4) and South Park: The Fractured But Whole (PC, Xbox One, PS4).

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
