Right, come on let's think laterally here - what are the problems that have impacted the industry this year?
>AI Slop
>Gacha
>Remaster fatigue (love or hate them)
>Live Service games collapsing and un-launching
>Console pricing
Themes of greed; flush bank accounts but creative coifers running empty? Economic downturn?

We had a good year for games, I think most of you will agree
>MGS Delta
>Claire Obscure
>System Shock Anniversary
>Silksong

A theme of rebirth? Nostalia and rose tinted glasses? Karmic debt being repaid?

Come on, /v/, what did 2025 mean for you in gaming so far?
