2025 was such a great year for gaming. I finished 48 games in my backlog. These games were spread amongst my PC/Steam Deck, PS5, Nintendo Switch/Switch 2.
I branched out and played games I wouldn’t have normally played. I finished games that I normally wouldn’t have thought I could finish. I started a series, and ended the year almost halfway through.
These games are listed in no particular order. But for 2026, I’m keeping track of that.
