Once Upon a Katamari is likely one of the biggest bundles of joy that I’ve experienced in a video game this year. 2025 has brought a plethora of brilliant video games, and finishing off the year with this one being the last new title I was excited for made it the cherry on top!
After weeks of following golden birds and exploring the world of Ghost of Yotei to its fullest, I finally completed the main story of the game! Ghost of Yotei is an action RPG set in an expansive open world. The game is a sequel to the 2020 Game of the Year nominee Ghost of Tsushima, developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by PlayStation Studios. This release is one of Sony’s major PS5 exclusives for the year and a solid way for players to easily sink another 30+ hours into their consoles before the end of the year.
Spooktober is here. Time to start carving jack-o’-lanterns and plotting out your Halloween costume. As the cold fall air begins to take over and the season transforms the world around us into a desolation of what was once a lively summer, people begin to transition indoors. Some prefer to celebrate the ominous ambiance of Spooktober with some form of scary media to get them in the mood, like a movie or perhaps even a video game. Here’s a list of five horror games to freak you out this Halloween.
September 25th, 2025 marked the first new mainline installment in the Silent Hill series since 2012. Recently, the franchise has been experiencing a revival, welcoming new fans while allowing older ones to revisit past classics, such as the Silent Hill 2 Remake released last year. Silent Hill F isn’t just a continuation — it’s a bold new idea for the series. Set in 1960s rural Japan, rather than the familiar modern-day ghost town of Silent Hill that past entries have revisited time and again, this game ties the franchise’s psychological and survival horror roots into a fresh experience that breaks away from the monotony that left the series dormant for over a decade.
This past weekend, one of the most classic video game franchises returned with a remake of a fan-favorite title. Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a fresh take on the original 2004 game, introducing high-resolution visuals and revised controls while remaining a faithful recreation of what made the PlayStation 2 version so special. It feels like a triumphant homecoming, giving both new and old fans an upgraded way to revisit the game. Still, this remake carries one big caveat… it was made without the involvement of the franchise’s creator, Hideo Kojima.
