It’s heading towards that time of year when end of year lists are being prepared and deployed by various websites and today it’s the turn of Rolling Stone which has listed its favourite games of 2025. Rolling Stone was clearly impressed with Nintendo’s output in 2025 with the 3D platforming antics of Donkey Kong: Bananza at No.3 in their list and Mario Kart World at 13.

- Ghost of Yōtei
- Blue Prince

- Hollow Knight: Silksong
- Mario Kart World
- Shinobi: Art of Vengeance
- Battlefield 6
- Ninja Gaiden 4

- Rematch
- Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

Woke trash like South of Midnight should not be in the list. Good thing no Assasins Creed Shadows I guess.
Even more hilarious their parent company Penske is owned by right wing people and the Saudi’s. These “journalists” are all massive hypocrites just want to lecture and police everyone else while not following what they forcr on others.
That’s a very diverse list. Nothing like mine, but I can’t hate.
Wasn’t that last year?
It’s woke because the protagonist is a black female? Right wing people are some of the biggest crybabies ever
MAGA comments here are annoying
Racist shits like you need to be Charlie Kirk’d
Why is this trash boomer site lisr here?
Was this past the point for Kirby Air Riders to make the cut? That one definitely deserves to be up here; I’ve been having a blast with it.
I’m a simple person: if it looks moody and maybe emotionally damages me a little, I’ll buy it.

Seeing these Famitsu rankings really shows how strong hype culture still is in gaming, especially when big names like Capcom and long-running series keep dominating wish lists. I like how this mix includes both brand-new ideas and familiar franchises, because it reflects how players balance curiosity with comfort. A lot of fans follow this kind of news straight from their phone now, checking updates, trailers, and discussions through different platforms in one application. After reading gaming news or waiting for releases, some people also drift toward other forms of online entertainment that offer quick access and variety. That’s how I’ve noticed gaming conversations sometimes connect with casino-style sites too, and apps like come up as another option people explore on their phone during downtime. It’s interesting how everything from console gaming hype to casual online entertainment now lives side by side in the same digital space.
Great to see such a diverse list of games for 2025! Donkey Kong: Bananza at No. 3 is exciting—platforming fans will love it! Just like in the slope game 2, mastering those tricky levels takes skill and practice.
Really impressive, thanks. I may take time to check out all of these games when I have time. I can’t do it right now because I am very busy choosing games from https://katanaspin.pro/en-gb/ as I need to grab my free spins asap. I have just registered there, by the way. I was silly enough to miss it at my previous platform, but this time I will do everything right.
