Another year down, another stack of games burned into my memory.

In this episode of The Retro Wildlands Podcast, I’m counting down my favorite video games I played in 2025. The surprises, the standouts, and the ones I couldn’t stop thinking about long after the credits rolled.

But I didn’t do it alone. I’m also spotlighting community favorites, because our Expeditions are always best enjoyed with friends.

Did your pick make the list? And what game completely blindsided me this year? Gather around the campfire, and let's have a chat.
