Inspired by a previous thread in 2023, let’s hear what you managed to complete/100% for 2025 (Happy New Year by the way!). My 2024 list here.

My 2025 list in order:

• Gears 5-This was the big one that took up most of the year. The TA (Trueachievements) average put this as 1000+ hours and even with updated and faster techniques, it still took 564 hours to 100% this. Did enjoy playing it despite the grind. Story was mid and wondering if a Gears 6 will ever finish this.

• PowerWash Simulator-Got even more dlc and returned to finish it yet again. Still a very fun and relaxing game. Has a story which is something I never expected (in a good way!). Credits with Green Gills - Make It All Shine are still chef’s kiss!

• Dark Alliance-Very strange game this set in DnD. Feels like a poor Vermintide clone. Enemy ai was bad in this game and very easy to exploit (the game is half-baked in my opinion). Still played through the arcade like experience with friends though.

• Warhammer 40,000: …

Hi guys! I’m Tibor Udvari, and I’m working on HexLands, my roguelike deckbuilder, medieval city builder, which is heavily inspired by Slay the Spire and it’s open for public playtesting! :)

Recently I finished its new trailer, though the capsule art is still work in progress. Soon there will be treasure islands where you must race with treasure hunters!

Here’s a quick summary to save you some time:

• HexLands is a roguelike deckbuilder and city builder set across procedural medieval islands.
• Craft powerful decks, collect game-changing relics, complete quests, and build synergies!
• Gather resources and expand your empire across three unique regions!
• Can you rise above the king who banished you?

If you’d like to know more, just visit HexLands’ Steam page and join the playtest, I’d love to hear your feedback! Thanks in advance! :)

Happy new year and have a great weekend,

Tibor

This year has seen lots of great releases, both indie and AAA. What would you say stands above the rest?

Low hanging fruit would be Expedition 33 but up until the last few days of 2025 I had Silent Hill f pinned as my GOTY. Then I bought Stellar Blade and I was amazed how feature-packed and dense with content it was, like a Sekiro with the bombastic stylings of Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. It easily became my new AAA GOTY.

For indies, I had the most fun in Tormented Souls 2. They really fleshed it out after the first game and I’d argue it’s the best (real) survival horror game in years. It’s almost like it was made specifically for me, it hits all the right notes. I’m looking forward to what they put out next.

Hi everyone,

I have been working on my indie game LOST INSIDE for about 5 years now, and I’m very happy to announce that the store page is now live on Steam and ready for wishlists. It hasn’t been an easy journey, and I had a few bumps along the way; however, I’m now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

If you like story-driven games where you explore a mysterious spirit world and also meet strange and wacky characters, then this game might be for you.

Make us suffer

hello i want to ask if arc raiders is worth buying even when i will play it solo?

Met this guy who was acting friendly and all weird, started extraction 2 minutes in. Thought he might’ve got a blueprint or something and left him alone.
Then heard him jumping and not actually extracting after the extraction opened. Seemed suspicious. Went to take a look.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We got him

Edit: To clear things up, at 0:14 you can see him failing the jump to the middle part of the fan which is how you do the exploit. I don’t want to link the video to exploit here

I was solo’ing a Leaper on Dam near Water Treament and after killing it and halfway looting it a guy opens a door a couple metres away from me, starts running towards me and just starts looting the Leaper expecting me to just let it happen? Not one emote, no just goes straight to looting

Same raid I call the elevator and another guy comes in spamming Don’t shoot like 5 times while running straight towards me, ultimately appearing from around a corner with his gun out only a couple metres away from me. I never agreed to not shoot but I would’ve if the guy didn’t act so panicky. You gotta understand that I’m holding goop I want to protect. Just keep some distance, maybe even put your gun away and I’ll do the same and we’re cool man. But no, you made me choose between myself or a random stranger. It’s not the first time I got shot by a player acting friendly

Rly guys, i heard there are wolfpack blueprint but i never managed to check it first.

I’m not even kidding, I was searching for this blueprint BEFORE I wiped for the first expedition!! I’m so happy!! 😁
