VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.
Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
Bandai Namco announced today that its popular flight simulator-lite Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has passed another sales milestone.
In One Man’s Trash, the junkyard isn’t just a heap of discarded relics; it’s a labyrinth of lost dreams, hidden treasures, and satirical secrets waiting to be unearthed. Armed with a souped-up vacuum cleaner, players plunge into a pit of chaos where every discarded console, cursed cartridge, and relic of pop culture tells a story. This isn’t just about digging; it’s about obsession, fortune, and the absurd pursuit of a hard drive worth millions. Step inside the pit and discover whether fortune truly lies in the refuse.
