My top 10 favourite games I played this year.
I haven’t beaten as many games as in previous years, but I still played and caught up on a bunch of pretty awesome ones.
So, I’m pretty happy with my 2025.
Finished Castle of Illusion. It's a really good platformer on the Master System. It has tight, responsive controls, a catchy little OST, and some colorful, well-designed levels.
There are some tricky parts near the end, but it almost never feels unfair or overly frustrating.
@_runescimitar Yeah, I got my eyes on it. I just hope that it is also available on the PS3 store, because I don't really like to play games on my PC. 😅
@Tom_ZR_Race I love platformers, but I totally understand when someone doesn't have the patience for them. Especially the older ones can be pretty rough and really test your patience. 😅
Finished Stranger of Paradise. Combat is where the game mostly shines imo, especially with the variety of jobs that keep battles fresh.
The story was fine, and I quite liked the ending. Jack is such an edgy weirdo, which made some cutscenes awkward, but also really entertaining.
@NoxMadness Same. I think I bought this game back when it was released, which was over 4 years ago. 😅 I'm curious to hear what you think of this game. 😄
I bought a bunch of good old platformers recently.
Banjo and Tiny Toons are some childhood games I want to replay soon.
Ruff & Tumble (probably better known as 40 Winks) and Crash 2 are two games which I only played the demo versions of.
