Nintendo has announced Donkey Kong Bananza downloadable content “DK Island & Emerald Rush.” It is available now via Nintendo eShop for $19.99.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "2025 was a banner year for platformers, particularly action-platformers. Donkey Kong Bananza thrilled fans with its clever traversal and deforming mechanics; Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound elevated nostalgic NES ideas with modern designs and controls; The Rogue Prince of Persia blended 2D parkour with story-driven progression; and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance made a splash thanks to its deep combat framework and fluid movement."
4ScarrsGaming’s Top 10 Games of 2025, based on the games we enjoyed most this year, not just the highest-rated releases.
Despite turbulent times in the industry, these nine titles shined through.
Absolum chose a terrible year to release, its such a fun game but massively overshadowed by the big hitters from 2025.
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, No Sleep for Kaname Date, Shuten Order, Doom: The Dark Ages and The Outer Worlds 2 are the GOATs.
didn't even realize No Sleep for Kaname Date released last year.... I stumbled on a [console] pre-order for it the other night and immediately placed an order. guess I should check Steam a little more often lol.
Anyway, the two previous AI: The Somnium Files games are excellent so looking forward to another journey. Also a great reminder of why one should step out of their comfort zone from time to time. might love it, enjoy it, hate it or anything in between, but one won't know until they step outside their gaming walls and give something different a try.
That's what The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is for. It's from the creator of Danganronpa and the creator of AI: The Somnium Files. It took me 400 to complete all 22 routes and 100 endings. Best gaming experience I've had since the 80's.
clair obscute definitely made a huge impact on me, such a fantastic game
and Silent Hill f biiiiiitch, it was so good
