The grand tradition of doing this list in 2025. Here’s the top 13 games I played in 2025. In no particular order
Two Point Museum
The Two Point games never disappoint one bit and Museum continues the trend of excellence. Museum adds so much in quality of life updates, DLC and fixes at a rapid pace. Not to mention the whole Digiverse which adds even more content to the party. So far in 2025, we got 2 DLC packs and 3 collab DLC. I love this game!
Flotsam
What if Waterworld was a cute city builder and you got Flotsam. You run the last city above the waves, all while picking up survivors and resources. So colorful and full of charm.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Stole Time
Top 5 game of the year. So much to do! The lives are interesting but can be repetitive after while. Base building, random dungeons, giant open world, a new roguelike mode. Just so much to do and I can’t really list it all
Winter Burrow
You are tasked to reclaim your family home during the winter. You interact with the other creatures and help them through quests. It’s cozy and a little stressful at the same time.
Slots and Daggers
What if you crossed an intriguing RPG story with slot mechanics.
Power Wash Simulator 2
Sequel of the 2022 GOTY, this adds a new hub world, furniture cleaning, new engine, new soap mechanic and multi phase levels. I have been enjoying this soo much!
Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar
A re imagining of the 3DS game, this version is a total gem! Selling things at the bazaar is so much fun.
Peak
Hands down this game is sooo much fun with friends. The comedy that this game generate is hilarious!
Tiny Bookshop
Cozy vibes, book sales, whimsical locations, what’s not to love!!
Blue Prince
You must find the 46th room in a 45 room mansion. One thing I will tell you, get a notebook and a true crime podcast. This will take a while!
Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping
Sequel to Secret Salami, Eugene must investigate a series of mysteries at a glamping site. As always hilarity will ensue!!
Split Fiction
Another Joseph Fares classic! Hands down better than It Take Two. Yeah I said it!! Me and Major had a ball playing this one!!
