End of year summary - 2025

A recap of console games completed in November 2025: Stray

A short but enjoyable RPG, Xanadu Next surprised me with its smooth pacing, strategic combat, and simple controls despite some grind. Its story and lore are well-done, and exploration feels rewarding. It’s a hidden gem worth a look for fans of old-school action RPGs.

A recap of console games completed in October 2025: Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics

A recap of console games completed in September 2025: Pony Island

A nostalgic look at Dungeon Keeper’s legacy and how War for the Overworld (2015) carried its torch. Brightrock Games honored the classic with familiar mechanics, renamed units, Richard Ridings’ voice, and balanced strategy gameplay. With solid content, DLCs, and accessible specs, it’s a worthy spiritual sequel for fans old and new.

A recap of console games completed in August 2025: The Blue Prince & Expeditions: Vikings

Mistook The Vanishing of Ethan Carter for another game but enjoyed it more knowing little. A short, atmospheric walking sim with beautiful landscapes, ambient audio, and simple puzzles. Story is intriguing but cryptic, with one mild jump-scare section. Best bought on sale due to length, and not very replayable after the twist ending.

UberSoldier II — a flawed but fun, cheap WW2 shooter best enjoyed without high expectations. Story’s forgettable, voice acting charmingly inconsistent, visuals decent but quirky, and gameplay improved from its predecessor. Worth playing after the first game, but don’t expect Call of Duty quality.

A recap of console games completed in July 2025: The Hex

A recap of console games completed in June 2025: Balatro; United Assault - Normandy '44

A recap of console games completed in May 2025: God of War; Kingdoms Reborn

A return to This Is the Police reveals a rewarding balance of strategy and moral choices, despite early frustrations with pressure and repetition. Managing police resources, solving cases, and navigating shady deals create engaging tension. Some UI and narrative details fall short, but strong voice acting and a surprisingly good story make it worthwhile.

A recap of console games completed in April 2025: Remnant 2; Planetbase

Finally finished Spyro 3 after years! Fun, nostalgic, a bit buggy, but still worth it—just don’t ask me about the Speedway levels. 😅

RoboCop: Rogue City nails the nostalgia, action, and tone of the films—clunky, gory, powerful fun.

A recap of console games completed in March 2025: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles: The Cowabunga Collection; The Plucky Squire; inZOI

Wanted to play Quake 2: Oblivion, but issues led to The Reckoning instead. Fun, action-packed, but not much new.
