I finally put together a list of my favorite games of 2025 on @rpgsite.net with many honorable mentions. It ended up being a very surprising year looking at how I expected 2025 to go last year. Enjoy: www.rpgsite.net/feature/1928...

Between IMMORTALITY, Skin Deep, Jett: The Far Shore and Spooky Express, few composers/sound designers are doing such consistently good/varied work as Priscilla IMO
I really hope people keep hiring me to write music for games. 🥲

I think Nintendo needs to (if they haven't already or all devs) allow for hotfix patches to get approved quicker like on other platforms. Steam obv you can do w/e, but the fact that pubs are able to get patches out on PS5/XSX sometimes week(s) before Switch 1/2 is annoying for third party games.
The most discouraging part of the Switch 2 has been the Nintendo certification process for patches/etc.
At a point where I just don't think I'm going to buy anything other than 1st party stuff on the HW, because it takes too long to fix if there's an issue.
