IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN. We played a lot of games this year, and I made an effort to catch up on any games I may have missed. I couldn’t play everything, and I, for sure, didn’t. I want to play Expedition 33, but I just haven’t had the time (or the money) to play it. I have Arc Raiders installed on my computer, but I haven’t yet booted it up; the same goes for Expedition 33.
Regardless, here is a list of my top 10 Games of 2025!
“MGS: Delta is just an all around great remaster that captured what made the original game so iconic.”
9. Rift of the NecroDancer (YouTube)
“The jams alone in Rift of the NecroDancer are enough to put this at #9. I’ve never had so much fun playing a rhythm game.”
8. Bionic Bay (YouTube)
“Bionic Bay is a crisp platforming experience with thoughtful puzzles is what makes Bionic Bay great.”
7. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
“Death Stranding 2, though goofy and great, just felt like another open-world game with a Kojima stamp on it. “
6. Is This Seat Taken? (YouTube)
“Is This Seat Taken is such a unique, cozy logic puzzle game that was an absolute treat to play.”
5. Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo (YouTube)
“Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a polished GBA styled Metroidvania that hits all the marks and is a fantastic experience. “
“Peak is the pinnacle of the friend-slop genre so far It is always such a good time when playing with friends.”
3. Ball x Pit (YouTube)
“Ball x Pit is unequivocally my SteamDeck GOTY. It is just one of the most fun, unique games in 2025. “
2. Hades II (YouTube)
“Hades II is more of the same, with a lot more added in. The best roguelikes/lites made in recent time.”
1. Hollow Knight: Silksong (YouTube)
“SilkSong is the only real game in 2025 that I thought about constantly. It is such a beautiful experience from start to finish”
