It’s that time of year again, and we’re looking back at 2025’s releases, specifically, some of the best releases we’ve been treated to over the last 12 months. This year has felt extraordinary, with both indie and AAA seemingly releasing a genre-defining game every month, so strap in, as the list is long and the…
Dying Light: The Beast has gone from strength to strength since release, with new patches, events, and content out of the wazoo. Developed originally as a DLC to Dying Light 2: Stay Human, the third game in the franchise was released earlier this year to much acclaim, including from us, and now, Techland is treating…

HITMAN World of Assassination continues to be the benchmark for what a game can be when properly supported years after release, with events, collabs, and celebrity appearances (some ill-advised, admittedly), that keep us coming back for more.

For some players, Satisfactory FICSMAS 2025 will be their first, and Coffee Stain Studios isn’t ready to disappoint, as the game’s Christmas-inspired event enters its sixth year. Straight…
