It’s been awhile. Your top 10 favorite games 2025 edition

1. Dark Souls

The rest unordered because it would be too hard to order them. I list about 20 because they all deserved to be mentioned as a cut above. I could easily add another 10-20 but I'm trying to show at least some restraint.

Sekiro
Bloodborne
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 4
StarCraft
Diablo II
Doom
Legend of Zelda
Legend of Zelda: A Link To the Past
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Donkey Kong Country
Chrono Trigger
Mike Tyson's Punchout
Final Fantasy VI
Super Metroid
Super Mario World
Super Mario 64
Metal Gear Solid
Dead Space
Witcher III

Way to tough to rank them 1-10:

Witcher 3, Ocarina of Time, Elden Ring, Goldeneye, NCAA Football, Clair Obscure, FFX, Skyrim, KCD2, Black Myth Wukong

Probably some recency bias as there are so many more deserving

Didn’t really order them as I was struggling to get 10

I played the shite out of all of them, though.

These are my favorite games, not necessarily what i think are the best games ever made. im sure some of these will cycle in and out. i have over 35 years if gaming, thats a lot of games to try and remember lol.

1. FF6 (will likely always be my 1)
2. Witcher 3
3. The last of Us
4. ChronoTrigger
5. Lunar (1 and 2 as a whole)
6. Elden Ring.
7. God of War 2018
8. Ghost of T
9. AC: Black Flag
10. WoW (specifically period of release through burning crusade)


some big honorable mentions:
halo
mech assault
dead rising
ultima online
secret of mana
rebel galaxy
diablo 2
original overwatch era

EDIT: Clair Obscur 33 is solid and probably will end up in top 10 somewhere. Just need to finish it.
