Best Games of 2025

Based on critic scores and popularity, the top games of 2025 are ARC Raiders, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Now that the year is over, most reviews are in - but prices keep changing, so the deals here update every day.

Assassin's Creed Shadows, Doom: The Dark Ages, Borderlands 4, Mafia: The Old Country and Sid Meier's Civilization VII were some of the biggest, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered surprised everyone by launching the same day it was announced. Love planning every move? Many of the year's best RPGs are turn-based - see our Turn-Based Games list.

Fans waited years for Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hades II, and both were worth it. Blue Prince turned a mysterious mansion into one of the most original puzzle games in years, and Absolum brought back classic beat 'em up action with roguelike runs.

Split Fiction was made for two players from start to finish, Elden Ring: Nightreign lets three players take on its bosses together, and Dune: Awakening lets you survive the desert of Arrakis with other players. For more games to play together, see our Co-op Games list.
