1. Getting a few super short games played to start the year on the right foot, and Pineapple on Pizza sure is one way of doing that 😅

Utterly bizarre but also very cool...

(at least one of these is never getting finished)

Trying to pick 5 most wanted games for 2026 is tough... Right now, these are the front runners:

1. Lego Batman
2. Marvel's Wolverine
3. The Blood of Dawnwalker
4. GTA6
5. Fable (very, very tentatively)

Halloween, Toem 2, Resi 9, Danganronpa/Steins;Gate remakes are all high on the list too.

A very good year for games! Rather than squeezing a top 10 into a few posts, I now have the luxury of sharing a full article with my favourite games of the year 🎉

27. Probs the last thing I finish this year, and what a game to end 2025 on!

26. Still one of the GOATs but now with a fresh lick of paint.

25. A really nice, clever game that only took a couple of hours to finish (although there was a few months pause between those hours 👀)

24. An impromptu swing around on Spider-Man 2 ended up turning into a full replay.

Still a great game although some of the weaker moments (mainly Scream/Venom stuff) are more obvious second time around.

23. Disappointing

22. Considering I didn't like the first game much, Ghost of Yotei is a huge, huge improvement. No more dissuading you from actually being a ghost, Atsu is a total badass and I love her for it.

21. I knew I'd like this but didn't realise I'd like it so much. Essential for fans of walking sims: lootlevelchill.com/reviews/the-...

20. Not as good as I'd hoped it'd be.

19. Bloody great. No further notes.
