Hey there. No matter which is your platform of choice, it is difficult not to feel excited about the future of gaming in 2017. This year certainly has plenty to live up to after a number of blockbuster games hit the shelves in 2016 to provide us with many hours of entertainment, with Overwatch (over 25 million gamers now play this game), Battlefield 1 (predicted to sell around 15 million copies in year one) and Dark Souls 3 (sold over 600,000 copies on Steam in its first week) amongst those which took the industry to another level. Ever-advancing animation technology, graphics and gameplay physics which is being utilised by developers should fill us with considerable optimism that gaming will become even better as goes by, with a plethora of genres ensuring that there is something for everyone, irrespective of age or gender.
Having so much choice at our disposal is one of the best things about being a gamer, as we can play a few hands of cards online whilst on the go via a mobile or tablet device, or sit down in front of a console or PC and enjoy any number of hours that you desire gaming alone, with friends or online with others across the world. We all have our own preferences when it comes to particular genres we like and play on a regular basis, but there are five which have the potential to catch fire in 2017.
