The first game that comes to mind is Shujinkou. It's a unique turn-based RPG with an inventive syllable-based fighting mechanics that teaches you to read Japanese as you play. I consider it one of the best games of 2025, but it definitely went under the radar.

Majogami from Inti Creates is another one. It's a stylish, beautiful action-platformer that didn't get a whole lot of attention.
