The next 12 months have quite an act to follow.
2024 was stuffed full of excellent video games, and 2025 will need to measure up.
Oh, and there’s also the small matter of the launch ofGrand Theft Auto 6.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure (January 30)
Hello Kitty plus Animal Crossing?
Hello Kitty Island Adventure isnt a new title, as it came to Apple Arcade in July 2023.
But between finally getting around toGod of War Ragnarokand its Pro(fessional?)
Is it a boss rush game?
All of the above?
Who really cares, given how much time Ive pumped into the predecessors.
The concept alone is genius, but what really grabs me is the variety.
It sounds like pure co-op magic and definitely a game Ill play twice to soak it all in.
Shadows is bringing back my most-loved feature from Syndicate: The ability to switch between protagonists.
Regardless, I’m still 100% sure I’ll end up sinking a couple 100 hours into Shadows.
First, lets clear up any confusion: This isnt another DLC , its a completely new game.
And this time the focus is on cooperative play.
As somebody who loves engaging in jolly cooperation, sign me up right now.
So, what do we actually know about GTA 6 at this stage?
Not a great deal.
In Delta, controls are streamlined, and the much-needed crouch walk has been added to Snakes repertoire.
But by far the biggest reason I cant wait to return to Tselinoyarsk is the bosses.
If Delta succeeds, it will prove that theres life left in Metal Gear after Kojima.
The first one is excellent.
Theres even an excellent board game adaptation that has started to hit my table.
All that to say, I am cautiously excited about Slay the Spire 2.
