Best Narrative of 2017 – Nominees

PlayStation LifeStyle is doing our year-end awards slightly different from previous years. We wanted to put more importance on the act of getting nominated for an award, so we limited each category to five games. That’s not many, especially in a year stacked with great games like 2017 was, so it took a lot of careful deliberation to simply come up with each list.

As far as game narratives go, it was a great year in gaming. Not only did role-playing games like Persona 5 deliver on grand stories, but we saw some great stories from indie game as well. Oh, and NieR: Automata came out as well.

Without further adieu, check out PlayStation LifeStyle’s nominees for our Best Narrative of 2017 award below:

The winner of our Best Narrative of 2017 award will be announced next week on Wednesday, December 27. It will be a part of a week-long celebration of the best PlayStation 4 and Vita titles of 2017. Ultimately, it’ll conclude on Friday, December 29, where we’ll reveal PlayStation LifeStyle’s Game of the Year 2017. This year will go down as one of the greatest years of gaming ever, so we’re very excited to unveil all of our picks!

Of course, we’d also love to hear what you think. Let us know in the comments below what you believe is the best narrative of the year, and which nominee you’ll think will win the award! Will Persona 5 take the crown? Or will another title cause an upset? You’ll find out next week!
