Sorry I'm late. A lot of incredible games released last year, but I've now been doing this for over ten years, so I clearly know what the *actual* best games of 2025 were. Clair Obscur? Hades 2? Death Stranding 2? Hollow Knight Silksong? All great of course, but will they make my personal list analysing the best games of 2025? You'll just have to watch and find out.
