Of all the new or revived game shows that premiered in 2017, which was your favorite? I think these are all the shows that premiered this year, listed chronologically by premiere date. Please feel free to add any I forgot:
Big Fan (ABC, Jan. 9)
Divided (GSN, Jan. 19)
Hip Hop Squares (VH-1, Mar. 13)
Beat Shazam (Fox, May 25)
Love Connection (Fox, May 25)
Fear Factor (MTV, May 30)
Emogenius (GSN, June 14)
The Gong Show (ABC, June 22)
Candy Crush (CBS, July 9)
The Joker's Wild (TBS, Oct. 24)
Drop the Mic (TBS, Oct. 24)
Cash Cab (Discovery, Dec. 4)
Ellen's Game of Games (NBC, Dec. 18)
For me, I'm gonna go with The Joker's Wild. I had some concerns about this one when I first heard about it, but they actually stayed pretty true to the Jack Barry-era format.

I really haven't seen most of this list. When I saw Beat Shazam, I thought it was pretty cool. Nice to see that I have some knowledge at music, which I thought I didn't...

Haven't seen much from new game shows this year, but I thought Emogenius was pretty good. Trying to guess what the puzzle is based on emojis was a pretty neat concept. I just find it disappointing that it didn't get more episodes in its first (and hopefully not its only) season. I'd love to see it get a second chance because I found it enjoyable.
I guess Divided was alright too. The gameplay's okay and Mike Richards is a pretty good host in my opinion. The contestants can be annoying though and the questions can be a little controversial. Other than that, I like it. I think I questioned it at first, but I think it's a good game show.

Divided was pretty good. Too bad it's getting the boot completely. Always fun to watch people make absolute morons of themselves while they lose money.
Emogenius wasn't too bad. Hunter March actually surprised me by being a fairly competent host.
The Joker's Wild reboot with Snoop Dogg was pretty good too. Good way to kill an hour and get a few laughs.
All the other new ones that came out this year sucked.

I think Divided ceased production because of David Goldhill and Amy Davis stepping down. With Mark Feldman as the new president and Fran Shea as the new programming director, it will be very interesting to find out what new original shows they have in store for the viewers in 2018.
I wouldn't be surprised if Skin Wars ceased production because of Goldhill's looming departure, let alone lower ratings during the fourth season.

Beat Shazam, but to put it midly I picked the less bad. I haven't seen cash cab yet so I can't vote on it

To me, it was a close one between Beat Shazam and The Joker's Wild.
