The Morning After: The Top Games of 2025

Must-Play Titles of the Year

With the festive season upon us, it's an ideal time to dive into the standout games of the year. This year's highlights include the long-awaited 'Silksong,' the highly praised 'Expedition 33,' and the eccentric world of 'Baby Steps.'

Additionally, the Switch 2 is establishing its repertoire with exclusive titles like 'Metroid Prime 4' and 'Donkey Kong Bananza.' Surprisingly, I've managed to explore numerous standout titles this year. I'd particularly recommend 'Dispatch' and 'Blue Prince.' I haven’t finished the latter yet, but I’ve already discovered its hidden elevator feature.

Mobile Games for Holiday Delight

If you're away from your usual gaming setup, several mobile games are worthy of attention. Titles like 'Spooky Express,' 'Is This Seat Taken,' and the intriguing 'Umamusume: Pretty Derby'—a unique twist on horse racing with anime-inspired horse girls—are bound to keep you entertained. Good luck explaining that one to family over holiday meals!
