Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike by @capcom.bsky.social
Hey, I never said they had to come out in 2025! This is the game I played the most this year. Met a lot of cool people, and maybe games are just a way for people to connect with others?
SEICHUSEN GODANZUKI!

Don't wanna spoil this game too much, but even for "nongamers", it was a tight, experience jam packed with a great script, amazing characters, and unbelievable voice acting.
Plus, just look at this family! Wouldn't you want to just be a part of this Z-Team!?

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II by @warhorsestudios.bsky.social
You rarely get to see a simulator made with this much love, respect, and care.
As a practitioner of Historical European Martial Arts myself, it lets me uniquely connect with that era.
(I'm on the left here with a Master Strike:)

Blue Prince by @blueprincegame.bsky.social
I've done hundreds of Escape Rooms, and really the high I'm searching for is just this game. It's a mystery in the best sense.
I also liked it so much, I cosplayed as a puzzle from it and made tons more setups to test people at @dragoncon.org this year!

Hades II by the Staff at @supergiantgames.bsky.social
I was just baffled how Supergiant could Head up Hades. Well, they did on all Axes, and Coated this game in such love and polish. They Gunned to be the best action roguelike ever made, and were Firing on all cylinders.
Oh, and the Best Part was:

Elden Ring: Nightrein by FromSoftware
I've never been a big Dark Souls guy being another 22'er who started with Elden Ring, but apply the genre du jour of Roguelike to a "get big sword and bonk bigger bad guys" makes it a like a Soulslike Roguelike that I like.

Goin' Topside as solo or a team of 3 has truly made me feel some emotions, and isn't that what video games are for?
It's a great exercise in Prisoner's Delimma, "trusting" strangers, and using various methods of online communication to express:
