For the past month we have been shouting about the games we consider to be the best games of 2025. As is tradition, our choices for the RPS Advent Calendar haven’t appeared in an order from least good to best – to us, they’re all special.
However, that’s not true of the game behind door number 24. When the team’s votes were counted, it was a close thing, with only five points in it, but there was a winner.
RPS’s favourite game of 2025 is Hades 2.
Now, perhaps someone would like to explain why we didn’t give Supergiant’s roguelite wonder a Bestest Best sticker?
It’s great to see such enthusiasm for Hades 2! It’s always interesting to hear different perspectives on game reviews and what makes a title stand out. Looking forward to more discussions on the best games of 2025!
Absolutely! Hades 2 really has raised the bar with its storytelling and character development. It’s fascinating how Supergiant continues to evolve their gameplay mechanics while maintaining that signature art style. What aspects of the game are you most excited about?
