Every game I have completed in 2025, ranked from my favourite to least favourite.


Metaphor: ReFantazio

I’m really fond of turn-based RPGs, and this game hit all the right notes for me. However, I do have two issues: there isn’t enough content surrounding the side characters, and at times, Strohl seems more like the leader than the protagonist. Overall, the game was enjoyable; the themes were well explored, and it featured great scenery and an engaging story. It has become one of my favourites in its genre, thanks to its diverse cast and the fact that it doesn’t rely on romantic elements to showcase its characters.

Dinosaur King

I experienced a massive nostalgia trip with this game, as it was the first one I owned. Returning to finish it brought back wonderful memories. Dinosaur King was a significant part of my childhood, and revisiting it was a delightful experience. However, the combat was a bit hit or miss, as it relies heavily on a literal Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanic. This makes it essential to pay attention to the dialogue and remember how the AI behaves.

Bayonetta

The game was enjoyable overall. The gameplay felt very smooth and responsive compared to other similar games I have played. However, I did have some issues with the flying and turret shooter sections; I found them to be boring, frustrating, and much slower-paced than the other parts of the game.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

It's a fun game with a lot packed into it, offering plenty of engaging activities and sights to explore. One downside is that the game is quite easy, which means multiple playthroughs are necessary to achieve 100% completion. The combat is straightforward, yet it has a lot of depth, and the progression feels quick. Everywhere you go on the map, there's something to do.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

This was a fairly difficult game for me, as I'm not used to this genre. The story was strong, but since this was my first Metal Gear game, I felt out of the loop with certain characters. Once I mastered the parry mechanic, the game became much easier. However, my main issues with the game are the finicky camera and the parrying system.

Soulcalibur VI

After completing the game, I found the story quite disappointing, particularly for a fighting game. It lacked engagement and depth. In contrast, the battles were interesting enough and the only real highlight, but many required tedious grinding to obtain better weapons, which diminished the overall experience.
