Welcome to Part 1 of the “Holy Sh*t, 2025’s Been Wild” recap. In this episode, I’m breaking down the games that slapped the hardest this year (so far) — from time-bending co-op chaos to samurai assassins, hellish metal murder-fests, and yes, even a gorilla who sings. You’ll get spicy takes, swearing, praise where it’s deserved, and a few roasts along the way.
So if you’ve been wondering what’s worth sinking your time, soul, and sleep schedule into… I’ve got you.
Games covered:
– Split Fiction
– Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
– Assassin’s Creed: Shadows
– Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
– Elden Ring: Nightreign
– Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
– Blue Prince
– Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4
