I had a lot of fun discussing my favourite games of 2025 with Tom, and hope you enjoy listening too!
There was so much variety this year that it was really difficult to whittle down from my shortlist of 15. Although some of these didn't make the podcast I highly recommend all of these!

New Game+ Showcase highlighted one I definitely forgot about... Denshattack!
But as I mentioned on the podcast, I'm probably not even aware yet of the games that'll be my favourites of 2026.

Using genAI in any part of your creation process is just a bad tactic. Nobody is going to buy a game they wouldn't have bought because it used AI, but many people who would have bought a game now won't.
Like, I was thinking of eventually buying BG3, but now I don't want to support Larian anymore.

If you like Geometry Wars 2 then Sektori is the easiest recommendation going. Below is my high score run on classic mode but campaign mode is a lot more interesting with elements of Gradius, Resogun, Galaga Legions - and Vampire Survivors in the mix too. Highly recommend! youtu.be/k3Zx0I8xBRc?...

Not sure what all these developers are doing wrong delaying their game? Every Kawaii Girls game always releases on time on the Nintendo eShop!

Starting to think about End of the Year lists. Big empty spot on albums this year - plenty of my favourites have released stuff, just haven't got around to them. Yet!

@qazimod.bsky.social I'm finally upto Iridis Alpha in the Jeff Minter Collection. You got any tips to beat the 3rd wave clouds consistently so I can get into the game proper? Watched a quick YouTube tutorial to get an idea of the game flow too.

It feels uncomfortable for me to be so much at odds with the critical consensus, but everything I have seen and heard (and the demo played), makes me ever more sure that new Shinobi just isn't very good. I wish I felt differently as I really like the dev and the series.

The demo has some similarities to Shinobi PS2 (locked room enemy encounters, cool slowmo execution mechanic), but it kinda ends there. It lacks level design, world feel, and thumping music. It doesn't feel like Shinobi. I'm so disappointed.
Shinobi demo feels exactly like an 360 era beat em up platformer hybrid like Shank 2 or Bloodrayne Betrayal but with a Sekiro filter applied and Demons Crest style exploration. It doesnt feel like Shinobi 3, or PS2 Shinobi and esp not the classic Rolling Thunder style games

Bits & Bops Demo - an obvious facsimile of Rhythm Heaven - even down to the sound effects and stage jingles - from a place of admiration. It misses the magic though - some minigames don't feel satisfying and I think it's down to a lack of animation feedback and flourish. Still looking forward to it.
