No other game comes even close.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

A few a haven't played through. As of now, probably dynasty warriors origins. Also really enjoying Indiana Jones.

We are close to the halfway point of the year, so question is simple enough, What is your game of the year so far? 

Currently my favorite game from this year is Avowed. I really like Blue Prince but I haven't gotten to play it much lately. Mario Kart World is up there for me as well but I'm still leaning more toward Avowed. 

In case you're having difficulty remembering what came out this year, you can see the list here. 

Sounds like a poll would be helpful

As of now, Mario Kart World has been the main game I’ve played in 2025.

I am also interested in exploring The Hundred Line and Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip whenever I have the opportunity to play them.

So far:

1) Mario Kart World
2) Monster Hunter Wilds
3) The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy

But I have so many more games to play.

I’ll have one up soon. Just making sure I have titles people will vote for in the list. Though I don’t see anything from tho the first half of the year beating Clair Obscur.

I know it's not the purpose of this thread but I'll take this opportunity to predict the GotY nominations for the game awards early this year since it feels pretty predictable this year.

  • Clair Obscur
  • Death Stranding 2
  • Split Fiction
  • DK Bananza
  • Metroid Prime 4
  • Wildcard (probably Ghost of Yotei or Kingdom Come 2 unless some suprise comes along)

With Clair Obscur winning with 99 % certainty.

Obscur is also my own pick tho I have a hard time giving it a pass for its ending. It's definitely the best game this year but it seems a shame for it to be celebrated more than Persona 5 which it in my mind still falls short of.
