New games worth playing
12 releases from 2025 onward
Everything released in the last 2 years that made it into the catalog. Newest first. Every entry was added and written up by hand, so this is a short list on purpose — it's what's worth your time, not everything that shipped.
2025 12 games
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
2025Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Medieval Bohemia with no dragons and no chosen one. Learning to fight is genuinely learning to fight.
RPG
Monster Hunter Wilds
2025Monster Hunter Wilds
The most approachable Monster Hunter yet, which still means the first ten hours are a tutorial.
Action RPG
Split Fiction
2025Split Fiction
Two-player only, from the It Takes Two studio, and it throws away each good idea before you tire of it.
PlatformerCo-op
DOOM: The Dark Ages
2025DOOM: The Dark Ages
Slower and heavier than Eternal. You stand and block instead of flying and dodging.
Shooter
Assassin's Creed Shadows
2025Assassin's Creed Shadows
Two protagonists with genuinely different playstyles — one sneaks, one very much does not.
ActionOpen World
Hollow Knight: Silksong
2025Hollow Knight: Silksong
Faster and more aggressive than Hollow Knight. Worth the wait, which is not a low bar.
MetroidvaniaPlatformer
Mario Kart World
2025Mario Kart World
Mario Kart with the tracks joined into one open world you can just drive around.
RacingParty
Elden Ring Nightreign
2025Elden Ring Nightreign
Elden Ring restructured into three-player roguelike runs. A strange idea that mostly works.
Action RPGRoguelike
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
2025Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
Still a game about walking carefully while carrying too much, and still unlike anything else.
ActionAdventure
Hades II
2025Hades II
Bigger and denser than Hades, with a protagonist who is much less interested in your approval.
RoguelikeAction
Ghost of Yotei
2025Ghost of Yotei
A new protagonist, a colder setting, and the same trick of letting the landscape do the navigating.

A note on new releases and price
New games are the worst value on this site and the most likely to disappoint the budget filter. Publishers rarely discount within the first year, so setting the finder to New and a $20 budget at the same time will usually return nothing. If a search comes back empty, that's the reason — widen the budget rather than the mood.
The game finder has a release filter that applies this same cutoff, and combines it with platform, mood, length and price.
