With the end of the year rapidly approaching, there are some subtle introductions, some old and some new, that have helped shaped this year’s games. From background scores to game animation, these elements have facilitated the way to gaming in 2017.

A throwback from the 80’s synthwave soundtracks have become a staple to a game’s soundtrack.

With games like The Elder Scrolls and The Witcher taking the upper echelons of animation fame, CG is evolving to become more and more life-like. Of course, there is still a high demand market for pixelated retro game reboots and originals. FPS games are also making a strong comeback as are command text input games.
