Horizon Zero Dawn was Josh’s game of the year in 2017, and it’s easy to see why. Pictured: The SSX 2013 reboot, because it’s not as ugly to look at as the 2000 original. What elevates SSX above the likes of Cool Boarders and 1080 Snowboarding is that it feels more like a genuine snowsports game, like it has more in common with the freestyle-focused Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater than a bog-standard racing game (with some dudebro style and aerial tricks thrown in). They were all of a similar standard, which made them all equally enjoyable, in spite of feeling a bit like a Namco racing game with a gnarly winter sports theme plastered on top. There were lots of great snowboarding video games in the late 90s.
