I TOOK OFF WORK TO COMPILE THIS LIST AND MAKE A VIDEO. This year was great! I had lots of fun playing game and talking about them. I compiled everything into a cohesive post alongside a video of me absolutely screaming at how fun this year was games wise.

Game of the Year 2025!
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.

It's high time that I play Hades II, because it is a Game of the Year contender. I am here to say that it is, in fact, more Hades. Everything you liked about the first game is back in the second game with more polish. Everyone is still so hot, its crazy.

Quick Thoughts – Hades II
It's getting close to the end of the year, so I had to play Hades II. I had forgotten that it was released into 1.0 in September. I kept seeing that it is just more Hades, which is fine, but could that be bad? I've already invested 12 hours into Hades II, so let's discuss it. PROS: It's more…

This week I went back in time and remembered that coin pushers exist. Raccoin from
@raccoingame.bsky.social
and
@playstack.com
is an interesting take on the deck building genre. The game is clever in its attempt to drip feed me dopamine, which it does very well. Superb demo.

Demo Days – Raccoin: Coin Pusher Roguelike
I remember visiting arcades in California when I was little and seeing a variety of coin-operated games, but they used tokens. It always seemed like a scam to a kid, but now that I am older, I see the potential profit of the machine. Mix that potential with roguelike aspects, and you get a game demo that I was incredibly fond of.

I dug into my back log this week and played Flock from

Of a Feather – Flock Review
I had some free time to play a short game, which allowed me to dive into my backlog and play a game that I was super hyped for, but had never played.

Big fan of Bloodroots so I KNOW I will be a fan of Tears of Metal from @papercultgames I never played a Dynasty Warriors before but if this is the game, with roguelike stuff in it then I AM IN. Super fun combat, wide spaces to pummel baddies and good roguelike elements make this a good one!

Demo Days – Tears of Metal
Back into the groove this week. I never really played a Dynasty Warriors game, to the best of my knowledge, but if this is what I was missing, then I am game to play the hundreds of games available. This week is the Tears of Metal demo! Tears of Metal is a hack-and-slash roguelike from Paper Cult. The game is slated to release on Steam in 2026.

One and Done – Slots & Daggers Review
I think that I am starting to see through these gambling roguelikes. They get a hold of me and promise borderline infinite fun, but they don't deliver to the degree that I want them to, and I resent them for it. This week's game was the tipping point. This week, I played some slots, killed some baddies, and mindlessly searched for coins to upgrade my weapons to a bigger number.

I'm not addicted to gambling but I am addicted to CloverPit. CloverPit is just one of those games that you can play anywhere and enjoy 100% of the time. It is made to be broken and that is where the most fun comes from. Everything works and the game is only $10! It's the perfect toilet game.

Sushi Ben was apparently a VR game that released onto non-VR not long ago. I had a lot of fun with the game, despite reload save on more than five occasions. The story is absurd, the manga panels and voice acting make it go over the top for. A cheap, good, cozy game.

Skate is now in the friend-slop genre, and I will die on the hill. The game is really fun so far, and it is even more fun with friends. Jump off buildings and take flight or just hang out and skate by the water. Skate is great.

Early Access – skate.
It is 11am EST and I have an hour to sum up all the things I like about the new skate game. PROS: Multiplayer is the only thing I've ever wanted for this game. The open world is curated for skating. Everything can be skated on for God's sake. For whatever reason, they introduced better climbing than any Assassin's Creed game.

Sure, I have 10 hours in Silksong and I just got to the Last Judge. I don't need to fly through video games. I like hanging out with my wife on the couch and playing the game for an hour or two every night. Anyway, I put up some of my thoughts on the game so far. It's a lot of fun.

First off, this week I have probably the most adorable decbuilder to ever have existed. Though adorableness does not mean it is fun, in this case, IT IS REALLY FUN.

It's been A LONG TIME since I played Dead Rising and this week I played the remaster. I don't remember what I hated about the game in 2006, but I liked this game. Super goofy narrative with arcadey, visceral combat. Just a plain old fun video game.

Quick Thoughts – Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster
I remember buying an Xbox 360 to play Gears of War 2 with my friends. I walked into a Best Buy and just bought it outright, along with Gears of War 2 and Dead Rising. I recall, at the time, how perplexed reviewers were by the number of zombies that Capcom's game could render simultaneously, pushing the Xbox 360 to its limits.

THIS WAS MY WEEK OFF, but I saw that Kabuto Park from
@dodoot.bsky.social
‬ and you know I had to play it. Super cute bug collecting game with the option to defeat children in a battle of attrition, masked as a cute card game. Superb 2-3 hour experience.

BUG BATTLES – Kabuto Park
This was supposed to be my week off, but I have games to play. I previously discussed Kabuto Park's demo, and I was extremely excited about it. When I saw that it would be released during my off week, I sighed, screamed at my wife to come play a fun bug game with me, and sat down at my computer on Thursday to talk about it today.

Now that I've played Lorn's Lure, I kinda want to play everything
@rubeki.bsky.social
‬ makes. This week is the Meganaut demo. Dive into the depths of a mysterious megastructuce in search of your friend who has disappeared. It is dark and the light can trick you. Great demo.

Demo Days – Meganaut
Ever since I played Lorn's Lure, I had wondered if the developer would be making anything else, and if it would be set in the game's world. Lorn's Lure had such a bizarre, mysterious world, and right when I booted up this week's game, I saw that it was going to be. Now I just have to cope with being scared for a moment.

This week is Hotel Architect from
@hotelarchitect.bsky.social
‬ A fun hospitality sim game that is accessible for everyone. On boarding is intuitive and efficient. Building, customizing and staffing are fun and I absolutely love the UI. My wife even wanted to play and she picked it up with ease.

The Hospitality Industry can Actually be Fun – Hotel Architect Early Access Review
I worked in the hospitality industry for four months, and I have to say that it was probably the worst job I've ever had. Guests are usually pretty terrible, and so are my coworkers. I had good moments, but they most certainly did not outweigh the bad. This week, I had fun being "in the industry" again by building and managing my own hotel, with the help of my wife.

This week is an anime rock rhythm adventure game from
@dcellgames.com
‬ Music is illegal, and you do crimes is all I needed to hear to play and thoroughly enjoy the demo. Lasted a little long, but I liked what I played. Stunning visuals and a great soundtrack.

Demo Days – Unbeatable
Rhythm games are good when they set out to do the thing and waste no time. I want to immediately jump in and bop to the music and pay attention to everything else later. However, this week's game is a little more complicated when you introduce a narrative to the mix. This week is Unbeatable. Unbeatable is a rhythm adventure game from…

I was sick all week and I couldn't really put more than two thoughts together so I did a quick review of Reignbreaker from
@studiofizbin.bsky.social
‬ For $10 it is a really fun Hades-lite. Controls are tight and it looks great.

Quick Thoughts – Reignbreaker
I have been a little sick, and I have lost a lot of time playing games that I wanted to play, and ended up playing games that I put on the back burner for this specific purpose. Reignbreaker is a nice Hades-lite that is fun, but it falls a little short. This week is Reignbreaker. Reignbreaker is an action Rogue-like from…

Imagine Slay the Spire with a paper theme, and you have this week's game from Acram Digital,
#inkborn
. I like deck builders, and I have to say that I played the demo about 10 times before putting it down, and I think I have it downloaded. It's a super dope demo

Demo Days – Inkborn
I took a little time out of my busy week to play another deck builder. Maybe I am old, but I don't think that I can remember many more game mechanics in deck builders. I think I read over the wide array of ailments in this week's game and just gave up. I'm old, that's it. This week is the Inkborn Combat Demo…

This week is Bionic Bay from
@juhanamyllys.bsky.social
and Kepler Interactive. Without a doubt Bionic Bay is my favorite platformer so far this year. This game does everything right. Puzzles? Great. Platforming? Excellent. Art Design? Gorgeous. This is a MUST PLAY.

Fun with Physics- Bionic Bay Review
I like platformers a lot, and some time ago, I played the Bionic Bay demo and have thought about the game ever since. There is something about a game that hits the hard sci-fi and introduces a bunch of platforming and puzzle solving that really gets me going. OBVIOUSLY THIS WEEK IS BIONIC BAY Bionic Bay is a puzzle platformer from…

I was unaware just how big this week's demo had gotten on the internet. inKOBINI from
@inkonbini.bsky.social
is certainly a special game. very heart-warming and very cozy. Item stocking and customer interactions have never been more rewarding,

Demo Days – inKONBINI
I knew that one day I would stumble upon a demo that everyone has already played and adored. I am kind of slow on playing demos, which is a fault of my own, but I was having so much fun playing Bionic Bay that I lost track of time. SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO PLAY A GAME ABOUT STOCKING SHELVES IN AN EARLY 1990s JAPANESE CONVENIENCE STORE.

School is finishing up and I took some time to play Days Gone Remastered and I posted my thoughts on the game. I think adequate justice has been done. I have grown to enjoy the cringe voice acting and cut scenes. This is a remaster that no one should pass up. Very very fun.

Quick Thoughts – Days Gone Remastered
Spring semester is coming to a close, and I have made time to play a game that I have been relatively excited about since Sony announced it. I have fond memories of Days Gone, and now that it has been remastered, I want to play it again. It really hurt the game when the PS4 just could not keep up with the horde sections and I felt that the game could look better.

This week's demo is Kill the Music from
@nikkoguy.bsky.social
I'm for any kind of rhythm game and Kill the Music is a pretty good one. I keep going back to the demo because I am having so much fun with both the gameplay and the music.

Demo Days – Kill the Music
It has been a bit since I played a game like Vampire Survivors. It's always fun to sit back, relax, and zone out to a game like that. There is just something so attractive to a game that I really don't have to focus on so much. Just walking around and slaughtering a bunch of baddies to a great soundtrack is all I want, and that is what I got this week.
