13. Silent Hill 2 Remake

What’s spooky season without a spooky game? A great remake of an excellent game. The lighting, graphics and sound design make it properly intense, scary and atmospheric.

12. Hollow Knight: Silksong

I genuinely thought the last boss might be the end of me but god, what an excellent game this is. It pushes you to the limit and makes you feel like an absolute god when you overcome it, the movement is perfect, the music is out of this world. Worth the wait!

11. Monster Hunter Stories

I don’t have any attachment to Monster Hunter but I love a Pokemon-like and this ticked a lot of boxes - excellent combat with tons of nuance and options, fun creature design, a surprisingly effective story. I’ll definitely dig into the sequels!

10. Monster Train 2

When I say this game has taken over my life for the last month… a deck-building tower-defending roguelike with endless (honestly endless) replayability, hundreds of different builds to play and an utterly addictive gameplay loop. It might even surpass Slay The Spire…

9. The Plucky Squire

What a gloriously fun adventure! Strong concept, adorable art, interesting and varied gameplay and a great sense of humour. A wonderful way to spend 10 hours!

8. Minami Lane

Well this was an adorable little management game. A lovely chill one night experience with a cute, boppy soundtrack and more raccoons than you can shake a stick at.

7. Ori and the Will of the Wisps

What a stunning, emotional and deeply satisfying metroidvania! It makes you feel like an absolute boss when you nail a difficult platform of challenge, delivers a standout soundtrack and packs a surprisingly emotional punch.

6. Doom: The Dark Ages

My 2025 run of excellent games continues. A crunchy, thumping shooter that’s constant fun, with a ridiculous and utterly brilliant range of weapons and a metal soundtrack that never misses. My kind of shooter, and a real blast in every sense of the word.

5. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Instantly one of my top 5 games of all time. Incredible world building, excellent writing, a killer soundtrack and the best turn based combat system ever made. A true masterpiece - I actually feel bereft having finished it. Play this god damn game right now.

4. Avowed

It took a while to hook me, but once it did, I hugely enjoyed Avowed. Exploration is constant fun, characters are great and the plot is compelling. Combat feels pleasingly weighty and never gets old (especially a mage build). I’m excited to see what they can do next!

3: Split Fiction

Hazelight have done it again! A fun, creative co-op platformer with constant new ideas, no filler and one of the most inventive closing levels I’ve seen in ages. A blast - and we didn’t even break up playing it!

2: Dynasty Warriors Origins

I spent untold hours playing DW as a kid but I’ve never enjoyed DW as much as I did here. Nostalgia + power fantasy + some actually tricky parrying + a renewed story focus = the best DW game ever. Just utterly great fun!

1: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

I had no hype until the reviews (not a big Indy fan!) but as it’s on Game Pass, decided to try it. Boy, am I glad I did - exploring, puzzle solving and punching fascists is just ridiculously fun. Thought I’d play a few hours, ended up 100%-ing!

Give me a single screenshot from a video game that immediately makes you hear the soundtrack in your head.

Trying out Kutsu’s lifestyle as an alternative to this ‘work’ thing. It’s alright so far!
