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).
