a screenshot from Nekome: Nazi Hunter that shows one dead nazi, a nazi who's about to die, and two more nazis that will probably eventually die here soon at the hands of the protagonist, Vano Nastasu

Nekome: Nazi Hunter is a grindhouse cinema-inspired action game where you brutally kill a lot of nazis. Check out the announcement trailer and screenshots here: gameinformer.com/2026/02/04/n...

Elvie’s Top Five Games of 2025 Every year I always say something cliche and twee like, “I learned a lot about myself”—because it’s true! It is another year and nothing may change the fact that I am fatherless, fickle, and more frail than ever, but it doesn’t stop the fact that we can sing about the shit of the world while also trying to do something about it. So yes, I think escapism can save the world, because if we all owe ourselves a few moments of happiness, there is less room for hate to survive. I believe in us, sans sabotage.

Elvie (@lvmaeparian.bsky.social) shares her top five games of 2025, with a particular focus on games that offered an escapist fantasy!

What games do you escape with?

Lorelai’s Top 10 Games of 2025 That Aren’t Game of the Generation Nioh 2 If there was one theme to this year in games, it was the industry saying hey, let’s make our release schedule all about making Lorelai happy. I was being fed from start to finish, and it truly made it a struggle to put together a list of the best stuff this year. Yes, there were some releases that were guaranteed a high spot because they were something I’ve wanted forever, but there were so many things that came out of nowhere to leave me wondering how a game this good might not even make my top 10. The bottom 5 flipped and flopped for weeks before I was finally able to lock them in, and I decided to add a few more games before we get started with the top 10.

Lorelai (@judgementscythe.bsky.social) was well-fed by the games of 2025, especially her Games of the Year!

What is your favorite game from Lorelai's list?

John’s Top Ten Games of 2025 In what has been generally accepted as a "pretty bad time", 2025 was in fact an excellent year for Gamesline. We brought new folks on, got into a better rhythm of posts, and started live streaming the podcast. I would like for us to continue to grow, and I would like for our articles to get more attention!

Rose’s Games That Were Played That Didn’t Hurt Her (That Much) In 2025 I think I am playing more and more games every single year as time goes on. It never ends. I think this year I’ve counted over 65 games that I’ve tried at any given point, and don’t even get me started on the freaking gacha games. It feels like every week I join my Final Fantasy Raid Call and I have to commiserate with my friend Eric over how there’s a brand new puzzle game that we now have to accelerate up the list.

Rose (@fatamorgana.bsky.social) is playing more and more games every year, and these are the ones that stood out to her in 2025!

How many games did you play in 2025?

What are your annual gaming traditions?

This is a huge crisis that we must do our part on by rejecting generative AI. The more it infiltrates our systems, the more fucked we are over time.

eugh. this stuff has really been experiencing a resurgence lately. :/

while my first instinct is obv to rebuke folks who somehow think ICE is totally operating within the law and due process, I do have to come to terms with the fact that we seem to disagree on whether undocumented people should be incarcerated on that fact in the first place, which is apparently weird

A SKELTEN LAYEN ON A TIRE FIRE "ITS SYMBOLIC, THNK ABOUT IT" AND IT SAYS EVERYTHINGS FUCKED, PIRACY IS COOL, STEALING SHIT ROCKS !!DAMB ITS TRUE!!
