Games of the Year 2017

Tossers 2017: Games of the Year 2017 winners announced

Drew and Chella announce the winners of the 2017 Tossers a.k.a the Argue the Toss games of the year 2017.

As the weather turns icy, humans across the northern hemisphere retreat into their homes to shelter from the cold. Some of us gather around fireplaces, some hang festive decorations, some [note to self: google “things that happen in December” and come up with third thing for list]. But for some of us, the hostile weather and approaching end of the year mean only one thing – it’s time to get indoors, wrap up warm, and get a whole lot of Tossing done.

Just like last year, the ATTeam have a whole bunch of Tossers to award, with some brand new categories – well, one new category. To replace two that we lost. So there’s actually fewer categories, but somehow we still managed to do a show longer than last year’s. Also unlike last year, some games earned a prestigious Double-Handed Tosser, where Chella and Drew independently arrived at the same winner in each category. We officially invite those games to use the Double-Handed Tosser trophy art in their advertising, just as soon as we produce some that conforms to basic standards of decency.

Also, yes, we forgot the protagonist from RiME was non-binary. Sorry.

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
