Nice immersive sim games here ⤵️
There's a round of GOTY discussion going around, and I realized that a lot of my favourite games this year have been absolute Sicko Picks.
So here's a few games I've loved so far in 2025, starting with a mild one: Babushka's Glitch Dungeon. A scrunkly lil' puzzle-metroidvania with so many fun verbs

On n’est pas bien là, tous ensemble dans un pays où une sénatrice se sent tellement à l’aise qu’elle peut citer Barrès pour traiter une Juive de déracinée, devant le Gouvernement tout entier, sans que personne ne lève un sourcil ? Seul Ian Brossat en a parlé en séance le lendemain. Merci à lui.

He started innocently enough. Just one time with a white couch. Then a couple more times. Then with the ottomans watching. He brought in a recliner, but it wasn't enough. So now, through no fault of his own, he's gone to the dark side of black italian pleather. He always knew it would end this way.
