The year 2025 is going to be full of great releases. We already had Assassin's Creed Shadows last month, while Mafia The Old Country is starting to take shape (a little in spite of itself, it must be said). But there's more to life than AAA. A new contender for the title of "game of the year 2025" has just been released and the ratings are unmistakable. It's already available on PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass, a real gem to don't miss it.
The new GOTY 2025 contender is here, a real gem
The competition is going to be tough at The Game Awards this year, we can feel it! It's only April and the serious contenders are already starting to pile up. So far, two games have particularly stood out. On the one hand, there's the phenomenal Monster Hunter Wilds with its million players on Steam. On the other hand, we're thinking of the unanimously acclaimed Split Fiction. We could even mention Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, which was able to improve on the initial formula. However, a certain Blue Prince is already overshadowing them all, a gem available in PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass.
It's true that we tend to pull out the "gem" card easily as soon as a game is good. But, in this case, it's difficult to talk about it otherwise. The Dogubomb studio scores a sensational first attempt with its very first game since Blue Prince has obtained a critical score of 93/100 on Metacritic. To date, it is in fact the highest rated game of 2025!
So if there's one game you have to try at the start of the year, it's Blue Prince. A pure gem, this intriguing puzzle game renews the genre with a roguelite approach that we weren't expecting here. As you can see, these mechanics are popular at the moment, as proven by Balatro, voted best independent game of 2024. Given its popularity, Dogubomb's title could well succeed it this year. To give you an idea, it's already waiting for you on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series allowfullscreen="1">
