For Single Player games? Great
The remakes and Switch 2 release helped.
Final Fantasy Tactics
Mario Kart World
Donkey Kong Banaza
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Blue Prince
Ghost of Yotei
Hades II (full release)
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Oblivion Remastered

These two, along with KCD2, made it outstanding in my book.

upgraded my PC with a 5080 and I have a backlog I'll never hope to get through. It's a great year.
Just wish I had more time to play relative to my other obligations.

Probably one of the best years ever for indie games specifically. AAA? Meh.

Here is the gaming quote of the year:

The biggest problem in modern video games isn't necessarily the quality of releases but the infrequency of quality releases.
There simply isn't high enough volume of quality releases compared to what it should be IMO.
Regardless, the year was overall quite meh IMO.

Have you been able to play all of the “quality releases” over the last few years, because I sure as shite haven’t

There were a lot of good releases, though not as many as in 2024. To name a few:
Death Stranding 2
Expedition 33
Monster Train 2
Once upon a Katamari
Öoo
Sektori
Silent Hill f
Split Fiction
World of Goo 2

Between KCD2 and EUV, I could play nothing else for a good while.
Posted on 1/2/26 at 11:17 pm to Geekboy
KCD2 was one of the best games I’ve ever played.
I don’t play enough other games to say one way or the other for the year, but that by itself deserves to be in a pretty elite pantheon of all time games IMO.

I’ll say it since no one else on here has the balls to say it: 2025 was absolutely terrible for AAA games
It was a horrendous year for not only video games but movies as well.

Not gaming, but I know Disney could've saved billions and made tens of billions more if they embraced this philosophy.

Solid 2. creeping towards 1.
anyone who though this year was bad or abysmal, well, i just don't know what else you want.

Define "AAA game".

2. Good
KCD2 is incredible
Battlefield 6 listened to players unlike COD
Donkey Kong Bananza is a big step up in capability for Nintendo
Oblivion Remaster is exactly what it needed to be
Arc Raiders is really fun with a simple gameplay loop
Silksong is a very well made game
Outer Worlds 2 is a really good improvement of OW1
I haven't even played Expedition 33 but the love that game gets speaks for itself

I need to unpack some stuff here....
You think you need to have....balls....to type on a message board that you think it was a terrible year?
Also...who gives a shite whether the good games this year were AAA or not? I haven't been able to hit even half the games that were released in 2025 that are considered must plays.
