This is more Kingdom Come: Deliverance, just a bit bigger and better. Warhorse’s second tour into medieval Bohemia should be on your 2025 travel itinerary if you can survive it.
Never traditionally fun, needlessly painful, and almost always breaking down, I love S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Despite its many issues, I doubt any other shooter in 2024 could match it on atmosphere, vibes, or ambition.
Ubisoft still can’t land on any compelling identity for XDefiant, but it remains a genuinely exhilarating F2P shooter I wish was more active.
With some light visual touchups, Adol continues to dominate his PS2 era. The new sea air is good for his crimson hair, but the breadth of exploration can occasionally feel as broad as the Suez Canal.
If you can only play one turn-based fantasy roleplaying game this year, let it be this one. Swords and sorcery Persona is a marvellously executed pitch.
Princess Zelda finally takes the stage in this magnificent farewell to the series’ best generation, giving the top-down adventure a serving of the latest 3D entries’ innovations.
Emio – The Smiling Man has a rich, empathetic heart, there’s just not enough of it. Solid character work and a decent setting can’t get around the fact that the game isn’t ever all that thrilling.

Capes
Come for the satisfying, concentration-demanding turn-based tactical puzzles with a diverse and interesting roster. Reconsider your stay when the difficulty curve takes to the skies.
While giving players the option of a core and arguably ‘fixed’ SMTV experience, Atlus delivers the most approachable core Megaten title worthy of all JRPG fans’ attention.
The charm and top-notch comedic writing shine bright despite the hollow combat and repetition.
Goblin Stone
There is a fundamentally good, core Darkest Dungeon-like experience somewhere underneath this rushed, languid, and poorly executed turn-based rogue-lite.
