There were so many pleasant surprises, it really felt like a special year. I, and quite a few buddies, have created this curated selection of the best games of 2025 you need to play at some point.

Also, keep in mind, I typically try to put places other than Amazon for these video game deals (they’re usually cheaper or on some sort of sal in comparison) but I cannot guarantee the link provided is the current lowest price.

Loose pages shoved in a backpack, crumpled corners, and the weekly panic of ‘where’s my song?' before piano lessons.
