Here's my favorite stuff from 2025, and the start to my 2026 media thread
GOTY is DK Bananza
Honorable mention to Xenoblade Chronicles X: DE, which I didn't include since it was a replay
Dishonorable mention to Metroid Prime 4, the biggest disappointment of the year
Extremely sad to think I'll never release another physical game for PlayStation. Releasing the physical versions of Animal Well was a huge motivator all throughout development. It really kills my desire to develop for the platform. I'm hoping they reverse this decision : (
55) Meccha Chameleon - probably the best friendslop I've tried. Really novel idea implemented surprisingly well. I dont see this having any staying power but $6 for a couple nights of fun is a good deal to me

54) Project Hail Mary (2026) - the ultimate family blockbuster. Looks great and has it all without ever going too far. Definitely a fun watch but I dont see myself going back.
@Crisurzy That Switch 2 lineup is 13 months while the PS5 lineup, outside of Ghost of Tsushima, is 1 day
Expand PS5 to 13 months and you include the likes of Returnal, Ratchet and Clank and God of War Ragnarok
@Andy_VGC 2017 was an incredible year for games with Mario Odyssey, BotW, Persona 5, NieR Automata and Dragon Quest XI all being standouts
Somehow we are going into 2027 with only one having a proper follow up, and one that reused the entire in-game map at that
