I am really proud of both the way we did our Game of the Year and awards, and of the incredible variety of games we chose as our winners.

Look, there were a lot of great games to play this year ... and we're going to get to all of them, we swear.

Here are the winners for the 'games we wish we could've gotten to because they probably would've won or been nominated for some other categories' ... awards.

I mean, we knew which game would win when we created the category, but the other nominees really show off how versatile the word "frustrating" can be.
Some games are just so, so frustrating. Rogue's nominees and winner for Most Frustrating Game of 2025 are here.

Hey gang, our weekly podcast won't have another episode for a few weeks.

We're busy with GOTY stuff atm, and our editor has some non-Rogue stuff he's working on in the early part of 2026. We'll be back before the end of January.

BUT look for our two GOTY winner episodes! Coming Dec. 24 and Jan. 2!
