I've changed just a few things, but this is almost identical to my 2024 list. No new games have been added, which by extension means no 2025 games. I don't have Ghost of Yotei yet, and I haven't finished Donkey Kong Bananza's story yet. That game might make 2026's list, and Mario Kart World might as well if it grows on me a little more or gets DLC.
