00:00Man, these last few years have been a roller coaster for gaming.
00:04After years of experimentation, technological evolution, and studios finding their footing,
00:10this was the year when everything finally started to feel normal again.
00:15Developers are taking more risks, refining their craft, and delivering experiences that truly stick.
00:21Today, we're going to talk about the 18 best games of 2025 that you should play as soon as possible.
00:301. Hades 2
00:33Kicking off the list with a game that delivered the goods and refined an already perfect formula, Hades 2.
00:41If you enjoyed the first one, this sequel is a mandatory purchase.
00:45The brilliance here is the narrative and the replayability.
00:49Supergiant Games delivered another masterclass in storytelling,
00:53making Mellie Noe, the princess of the underworld, a deeply compelling protagonist.
00:58That roguelite loop where every run reveals new bits of lore,
01:02new character dialogue, and new plot threads is absolutely addictive.
01:08I couldn't stop playing because I needed to know what happened next in the story,
01:12not just in the run.
01:14The gameplay is fluid and faster than the original.
01:17The new weapons and boons provided insane build variety.
01:21That feeling of hitting a massive synergy between a hex and a certain deity's power,
01:27just absolutely melting a boss, that's pure gaming euphoria.
01:31The art style and music are some of the best in the industry.
01:35It's gorgeous, dark, and the soundtrack is a character in itself.
01:40My only critique?
01:41It took up all my free time.
01:42But honestly, for delivering an infinitely replayable,
01:47narratively rich, and mechanically perfect action roguelite,
01:51Hades 2 is easily one of the best games of 2025.
01:55Go play it now!
02:002. The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered
02:04Next up, let's talk about a classic brought gloriously back to life,
02:09The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered.
02:12This game is a reminder of pure, unadulterated fantasy roleplaying.
02:17The value here is the nostalgia combined with modern immersion.
02:22Exploring the world of Cyrodiil with its vibrant forests, imperial cities,
02:26and the terrifying Oblivion Gates felt breathtaking on modern hardware.
02:31They nailed the graphical update while perfectly preserving the charm
02:35and unique atmosphere of the original.
02:37The gameplay is pure, deep RPG freedom.
02:41Like all Elder Scrolls games, you can become literally anything.
02:45A master thief, an archmage,
02:47or just some random guy who likes closing Oblivion Gates.
02:50The quest lines, especially the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild,
02:54are legendary and held up perfectly in this new version.
02:58The story of the hero of Quach in the battle against Mirunas Dogon is epic.
03:03The voice acting, while famously cheesy in the original,
03:06adds a unique charm that fans adore.
03:09My only minor critique is that the level scaling still felt a little weird in the late game,
03:13but that's part of the Oblivion charm, right?
03:16For delivering a massive, unforgettable fantasy RPG world
03:20that respects both its legacy and modern standards,
03:23this remaster is a must-play time sink.
03:26Number three, Silent Hill F.
03:32Let's switch gears dramatically and talk about the unique terror that is Silent Hill F.
03:39This game redefined atmospheric horror.
03:42The uniqueness that made this game one of 2025's best
03:46is the unsettling setting in atmospheric terror.
03:49Set in 1960s rural Japan,
03:53the game delivered horror that felt deeply rooted
03:56in local folklore and grotesque beauty.
03:59The visuals were stunning,
04:01but the constant sense of unease
04:03and the visceral, strange enemy design
04:06are what stuck with me.
04:08The gameplay is classic survival horror.
04:11Tense, deliberate,
04:12and focused on inventory management and exploration.
04:15The combat was intentionally clunky and desperate,
04:19reinforcing that the protagonist,
04:21Hinaku Shizumi,
04:22is just trying to survive.
04:24The puzzles were brilliant
04:25and added a great cerebral challenge to the horror.
04:29The story is dark, disturbing,
04:31and deeply personal,
04:33dealing with themes of corruption and transformation.
04:37The sheer artistry that went into the monster design alone
04:40made this a standout experience.
04:42My only issue is that the slow pace sometimes frustrated me
04:46when I just wanted to figure out what was happening next.
04:49But for delivering a beautiful, unique,
04:52and genuinely terrifying horror experience
04:55that honors the legacy of the series
04:57while taking it somewhere new,
04:59Silent Hill F is essential.
05:034. Monster Hunter Wilds
05:06Next up, let's talk about the game
05:09that redefined massive-scale action RPGs,
05:12Monster Hunter Wilds.
05:14This one gave us the true open-world monster hunter experience
05:18we always dreamed of.
05:20The value here is the seamless, dynamic open world
05:24and the hunting depth.
05:26Gone are the segmented zones.
05:29We got a massive, beautiful open world
05:31where the environment itself plays a crucial role.
05:35Seeing massive monsters like the new Elder Dragons
05:38move naturally through the dynamic ecosystems
05:41was incredible.
05:43The gameplay is the best in the franchise.
05:46The signature deep combat
05:47where you meticulously learn monster patterns,
05:51set traps,
05:52and utilize your complex weapons
05:53is refined to perfection.
05:56The new secret companion mount
05:58made traversal a blast,
06:00and the dynamic weather changes
06:02kept every single hunt fresh and unpredictable.
06:06The core loop,
06:07hunting, carving,
06:09and crafting better gear,
06:10is pure addiction.
06:12I spent weeks just trying to get that one rare drop
06:15to craft the perfect sword.
06:17My only concern,
06:19which is minor,
06:20is the learning curve.
06:21Monster Hunter always demands a lot from players,
06:24but the payoff is massive.
06:26For delivering a gigantic,
06:28visually stunning,
06:30and endlessly rewarding hunting experience
06:32that redefines the genre,
06:34Monster Hunter Wilds is a must-own game of 2025.
06:41Number five,
06:43Ninja Gaiden 4.
06:44Let's switch gears to pure, uncompromising action
06:47with Ninja Gaiden 4.
06:50Team Ninja delivered a game that demands mastery
06:52and rewards skill like no other.
06:54The value here is the fluid,
06:57lightning-fast combat,
06:58and the difficulty.
07:00Ryu Hayabusa's return was spectacular.
07:03The gameplay loop is pure,
07:05high-stakes adrenaline.
07:07You're constantly dodging,
07:08counterattacking,
07:09and chaining brutal combos.
07:12Mastering the new weapon sets
07:13and the updated Karma score system,
07:15which encourages stylistic kills,
07:17was intensely addictive.
07:19This game didn't pull any punches
07:21on the difficulty.
07:22It respects the legacy of Ninja Gaiden,
07:24throwing ridiculously challenging enemies
07:26and massive bosses at you.
07:29That feeling of finally perfecting a boss fight
07:31that took you 20 attempts?
07:33That's what you pay for.
07:35The protagonist, Ryu,
07:36is the ultimate action hero.
07:39Silent, deadly,
07:40and ridiculously cool.
07:41The level design felt intricate,
07:44encouraging exploration for crucial upgrades.
07:47My only critique is that the sheer difficulty
07:49can be a barrier for new players,
07:51but for veteran action enthusiasts,
07:53this was heaven.
07:55For delivering the most refined,
07:57demanding,
07:57and satisfying action combat experience of the year,
08:01Ninja Gaiden 4 is an absolute masterpiece.
08:03Next, let's talk about the survival horror experience
08:13that blended parkour with pure monster action.
08:16Dying Light,
08:17The Beast.
08:18This sequel absolutely raised the stakes.
08:21The unique selling point here
08:23is the dual nature gameplay.
08:25You're playing as the protagonist,
08:27Kyle Crane,
08:28who is constantly struggling with
08:30and utilizing his beastly transformation.
08:32The core loop of first-person parkour
08:35and brutal combat remained incredible,
08:37but the added powers like super strength
08:39and enhanced speed made the action visceral.
08:43The open world of the Castor Woods was perfect
08:45because it felt like a truly untamed,
08:48infected wilderness.
08:50The day-night cycle was more terrifying than ever.
08:53Volatiles were everywhere,
08:55and knowing you could turn into something
08:56just as dangerous
08:57added an amazing layer of tension.
09:00Co-op with friends,
09:01tackling massive zombie hordes
09:02and fighting other monstrous players
09:04was pure fun.
09:06The story took a darker,
09:07more personal turn
09:08as Crane dealt with his transformation
09:10and the consequences of his actions.
09:12My only frustration
09:13was sometimes losing control
09:15during the more savage beast moments,
09:17but that was probably intentional.
09:19For delivering a fluid,
09:21action-packed,
09:22and terrifying open-world survival game
09:24with a phenomenal twist on the formula,
09:26Dying Light,
09:27the beast is essential.
09:31Seven.
09:32Death Stranding 2 on the beach.
09:35Alright, prepare your mind
09:36for the most unique game on this list,
09:39Death Stranding 2 on the beach.
09:42Hideo Kojima delivered another
09:44sprawling philosophical epic
09:46that consumed my life.
09:48The value here
09:50is in the atmospheric immersion
09:51and unparalleled concept.
09:54This is the ultimate
09:55Strand game experience.
09:58Playing as Sam Porter Bridges,
09:59the core traversal gameplay
10:01battling the physics,
10:03the environment,
10:04and the terrifying BTs
10:05to connect the fractured world
10:07is deeply meditative
10:08and intensely rewarding.
10:11The world felt bigger,
10:13weirder,
10:13and more visually complex
10:15than the first.
10:16The infrastructure building
10:18with other players
10:18was still brilliant,
10:20giving you that shared sense
10:21of accomplishment.
10:23The new tools
10:24and the customizable mobile base
10:25expanded the ways
10:26you could approach
10:27the hostile terrain.
10:29The story is pure,
10:31complex,
10:32mind-bending cinema.
10:34The visuals were stunning,
10:35and the performance capture
10:36from the amazing cast
10:38anchored the narrative's
10:39bizarre twists.
10:40My only note
10:41is that this game
10:42is deliberate
10:43and slow-paced,
10:44which isn't for everyone.
10:46But for those
10:47who embrace the journey
10:48and the complex narrative,
10:50Death Stranding 2
10:51offered an unforgettable,
10:53singular experience
10:54that easily earns its spot
10:56as one of the best of 2025.

11:42your actions strategically,
11:44you have to use
11:44timed button presses
11:46for parries and blocks
11:47during the enemy's turn.
11:49That mechanic
11:49keeps the player
11:50constantly engaged
11:52and adds a layer
11:53of action
11:54to the strategy
11:55that is incredibly addictive.
11:57The story

11:59on a desperate
12:00final mission
12:01to save humanity
12:03from a deadly curse
12:04was emotionally charged
12:05and beautifully written.
12:08My only critique
12:09is that the combat system
12:10has a steep learning curve
12:11due to the complexity,
12:13but mastering it
12:14is incredibly rewarding.
12:16For delivering

12:34pure, unadulterated
12:35espionage excellence
12:37with Metal Gear Solid
12:38Delta Snake Eater.

12:42it was a total preservation
12:43of a masterpiece
12:44delivered with
12:45stunning modern polish.
12:47The value here
12:48is the survival
12:49and stealth masterclass.
12:51Playing as Naked Snake
12:52in the dense
12:531960s Soviet jungle
12:55was an intense experience.
12:57The core survival gameplay,
12:59hunting,
12:59managing camouflage,
13:00and treating your various wounds
13:02is incredibly deep
13:04and added so much tension

13:38of Big Boss.
13:39The cutscenes
13:40were cinematic perfection.
13:42My only point of concern
13:43is that the controls,
13:44while modernized,
13:45still retained
13:46some of the original's
13:47complexity,
13:48which demands patience.
13:50But for delivering
13:51an essential piece
13:52of gaming history

14:50filled with personal choices
14:52and moral ambiguity

14:57The game is a pure
14:59aesthetic masterpiece.
15:01Every screenshot
15:01could be a wallpaper.
15:03My only critique
15:04is that I wanted
15:05more of the main narrative,
15:06as it was such a great story.

15:34that captured the spirit
15:36of the classic movies perfectly.
15:38The unique value here

15:41and global scope.
15:43The game sent us
15:44on a globe-trotting treasure hunt
15:46from the Himalayas
15:47to the ruins of Rome.
15:49The level design

16:16and puzzle solving.
16:17I spent hours
16:18just mastering
16:19the environmental tricks

16:22Indiana Jones
16:22is, of course,
16:23the ultimate protagonist.
16:25Witty,
16:26resourceful,
16:26and always ready
16:27for a fight.
16:28The story felt like
16:29a lost,
16:30high-quality indie film.
16:32My only minor complaint
16:34is that the first-person
16:35perspective
16:36took a minute
16:36to adjust to
16:37during certain melee fights,
16:39but for delivering
16:40a high-octane,
16:41puzzle-packed,

17:44Piloting the massive
17:45Utland mech
17:45and tearing through
17:46giant enemies

17:53unstoppable force
17:54of vengeance.
17:55The story is simple.

18:00of intensity
18:01can be exhausting,
18:02but in the best way possible.
18:04For delivering

18:25multiplayer scene
18:26this year,
18:27Battlefield 6.
18:28DICE absolutely
18:30delivered a massive,
18:31chaotic,
18:32and technically
18:33stunning shooter.
18:34The value here
18:35is the sheer scale
18:37of warfare
18:37and environmental destruction.
18:39When you paid
18:40for Battlefield 6,
18:41you paid for those
18:42epic 128-player maps
18:44where jets were
18:45crashing into skyscrapers
18:47and tanks were
18:48blowing huge holes
18:49in buildings.
18:50That level of destruction
18:51and sandbox chaos
18:52made every single match
18:54feel unique and intense.
18:56The gameplay loop
18:57is all about teamwork,
18:59vehicle mastery,
19:00and objective focus.
19:01That feeling of
19:02rolling up in a squad,
19:04capturing a critical
19:04objective point,
19:05and watching a skyscraper
19:07collapse in the background?
19:08Pure, unrivaled
19:10FPS spectacle.
19:11The classes felt
19:12meaningful,
19:13and the gunplay
19:14was tight and satisfying.
19:16The protagonist here
19:17is the player
19:18and their squad,
19:19and the camaraderie
19:20in those massive,
19:21chaotic battles
19:22is what made
19:23the multiplayer
19:23so addictive.
19:25My only critique
19:26is that the server issues
19:27were a bit rough
19:28during the first week,
19:29which is typical Battlefield.
19:30but for delivering
19:32the most ambitious,
19:33largest-scale,
19:34and most visually stunning
19:35large-scale
19:36multiplayer FPS experience
19:37of 2025,
19:39Battlefield 6
19:40is essential.

19:44Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
19:46Next up,
19:48let's talk about the game
19:49that respected player
19:50intelligence
19:50and delivered
19:51massive historical depth,
19:53Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
19:55This is a hardcore RPG experience
19:58that is worth
19:59every second.
20:01The unique value here
20:02is the uncompromising
20:04historical immersion
20:05and realism.
20:07Set in 15th century Bohemia,
20:09this game wasn't fantasy,
20:11it was meticulous history.
20:13The open world was massive,
20:15detailed,
20:16and felt genuinely lived in.
20:18You were forced
20:19to manage a reputation,
20:21deal with realistic survival needs,
20:22and learn complex skills.
20:24The gameplay loop is demanding,
20:26especially the combat system,
20:28which requires precision,
20:30timing,
20:31and knowledge
20:31of historical fencing.
20:34It's hard,
20:35but the moment you master
20:36a combo
20:36and beat a difficult opponent,
20:38the reward is unmatched.
20:41The deep crafting,
20:42alchemy,
20:43and dialogue systems
20:44offered endless
20:45role-playing possibilities.
20:48Henry of Skullets
20:48continued his journey
20:50as a relatable protagonist
20:51thrust into massive
20:53political conflicts.
20:54His character growth
20:55felt earned
20:56and authentic.
20:57My only frustration
20:59was the steep learning curve
21:00at the beginning,
21:01but that difficulty
21:02is part of the game's brilliance.
21:04For delivering an enormous,
21:06deep,
21:07and brilliantly realistic
21:08historical RPG
21:09that offers hundreds
21:11of hours
21:12of quality content,
21:13Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
21:15is a massive value bomb.
21:21Fifteen,
21:22Assassin's Creed Shadows.
21:25Now,
21:25let's talk about a game
21:26that gave us
21:27the historical setting
21:28we've always wanted,
21:30Assassin's Creed Shadows.
21:32In my opinion,
21:34it's not the best game
21:35in the franchise,
21:36and it wasn't exactly
21:37what we were really expecting.
21:39But in terms of gameplay,
21:41I think it delivers a lot.
21:43The open world
21:44of feudal Japan
21:45was recreated
21:46with incredible fidelity.
21:48It's perfect
21:49because it was built
21:50around dual protagonists
21:52and verticality.
21:53You can play as Yasuke,
21:55the formidable samurai,
21:56for direct
21:57and brutal combat,
21:58or as Naoi,
22:00the stealthy shinobi
22:01for a classic
22:02Assassin's Creed style
22:03infiltration.
22:05This mechanic brought
22:06incredible variety
22:07to the world.
22:08The gameplay marked
22:09a strong return to form
22:11for the series.
22:12Playing as Naoi,
22:13the stealth mechanics
22:14were precise and lethal,
22:16encouraging a strategic approach.
22:18As Yasuke,
22:19the combat was heavy
22:21and satisfying.
22:22The world is massive,
22:24full of castles,
22:25dense forests,
22:26and hidden villages,
22:28making exploration
22:29constantly rewarding.
22:31Both protagonists
22:31are compelling,
22:33offering two completely
22:34different perspectives
22:35on the chaos of the era.
22:37My only complaint
22:38is that the map size
22:39sometimes felt too big,
22:41but there was always
22:43something interesting
22:43to discover.
22:45By finally delivering
22:46a beautifully realized
22:48feudal Japan,
22:49complete with fluid combat
22:50and true stealth options,
22:52Assassin's Creed Shadows
22:53earns its spot
22:54on this 2025 list.
22:5916.
23:00Hollow Knight Silksong.
23:02Next up,
23:03a game that delivered
23:04one of the most content-dense
23:06and beautifully crafted
23:072D worlds ever,
23:09Hollow Knight Silksong.
23:11Team Cherry absolutely
23:12delivered on the hype.
23:14The unique value here
23:15is the sheer density
23:16and artistry
23:17of the Metroidvania world.
23:19The Kingdom of Farloom
23:21was a huge,
23:22interconnected,
23:23hand-drawn masterpiece,
23:25packed with secrets,
23:27hidden bosses,
23:28and intricate
23:28platforming challenges.
23:30The value is insane,
23:32offering hundreds
23:33of hours of exploration.
23:35The gameplay was faster
23:36and more fluid
23:37than the original.
23:38Playing as Hornet,
23:39the new movement mechanics
23:40in the deep,
23:41demanding combat system
23:42made every encounter
23:44tense and rewarding.
23:46That feeling of finally
23:47unlocking a new path
23:48after struggling
23:49with a difficult
23:49platforming sequence
23:50is pure joy.
23:52The atmosphere and music
23:53are hauntingly beautiful,
23:55giving the world
23:56a unique and dark
23:57fairy tale vibe.
23:58My only critique
24:00is that the boss fights
24:01are ridiculously hard,
24:03demanding extreme patience,
24:05but that challenge
24:05is what makes the win
24:06so satisfying.
24:08For delivering
24:09a generational masterpiece
24:10in the 2D action genre,
24:12Hollow Knight Silksong
24:13is a must-play essential
24:15from 2025.
24:1817.
24:20Split Fiction
24:21Let's talk about a game
24:22that completely redefined
24:24how we think about narrative
24:25and gameplay.
24:27Split Fiction.
24:28This game was the biggest
24:30surprise innovation
24:31of the year.
24:32The value here
24:33is the mind-bending
24:34dual-world mechanic.
24:36You were playing
24:36two completely separate games.
24:39One, a high-tech sci-fi shooter.
24:41The other,
24:42a fantasy top-down RPG.
24:44And the actions you took
24:45in one world
24:46directly, immediately,
24:49and dramatically
24:50altered the geometry
24:51in events in the other.
24:52That simultaneous,
24:54interwoven gameplay
24:55was genius.
24:57The gameplay loop
24:58was an endless puzzle.
24:59You were constantly
25:00having to strategize
25:01across two realities
25:03to solve obstacles in one.
25:05It demanded a level of focus
25:06and lateral thinking
25:07that few games
25:08ever ask for.
25:10The story was compelling,
25:12dealing with two protagonists
25:13whose realities
25:14were constantly colliding.
25:16It was a narrative masterpiece
25:17that used gameplay
25:18as a storytelling device.
25:20My only concern
25:21was the steep learning curve
25:22required to wrap your head
25:24around the dual-world concept,
25:26but once it clicked,
25:27it was addictive.
25:28For delivering the most innovative
25:30and unique gameplay structure
25:31of 2025,
25:33Split Fiction
25:34is an absolute must-play.
25:3618, Stalker 2,
25:43Heart of Chernobyl.
25:44And finally,
25:45to cap off this amazing list,
25:47we have the ultimate
25:49in atmospheric survival horror,
25:51Stalker 2,
25:52Heart of Chernobyl.
25:54This game delivered
25:55on its promise
25:56of an unforgiving,
25:58immersive world.
25:59The open world,
26:00The Zone,
26:01is perfect
26:02because it's built
26:03on brutal,
26:04systemic hostility.
26:06This massive,
26:08non-linear exclusion zone
26:09is constantly throwing
26:11unpredictable,
26:12deadly anomalies,
26:14horrific mutants,
26:15and other dangerous
26:16stalkers at you.
26:18The atmosphere is thick
26:19with tension
26:20and constant dread.
26:21The gameplay
26:22is pure survival.
26:24You're managing radiation,
26:26hunger,
26:27sleep,
26:27and equipment degradation
26:29while fighting
26:30for every single resource.
26:32Every bullet
26:33and every artifact discovery
26:35feels like a massive victory.
26:37That high-risk,
26:38high-reward loop
26:39is intensely rewarding.
26:41The protagonist,
26:42Skiff,
26:43is your avatar
26:43in a complex,
26:45lore-rich world.
26:47The story is non-linear
26:48and reacts dramatically
26:50to your choices.
26:51My only warning
26:52is that this game
26:53is incredibly difficult
26:55and unyielding,
26:56which isn't for everyone.
26:57But for delivering
26:59the most atmospheric,
27:00deep,
27:01and genuinely survival-focused
27:03open-world FPS experience
27:04of 2025,
27:06Stalker 2
27:07is a legendary game
27:08that demands to be played.
27:11And that is the list, guys.
27:1318 absolute masterpieces
27:15that defined 2025
27:17as one of the best years
27:19in modern gaming history.
