I decided to take a look back rank the games that played during 2025. I'll be doing the same for my 2026 games at the end of the year.

A tierlist of my overall enjoyment for the video games I played back in 2025.

Orbitals is a visual delight and plays great for you and your partner. But I do feel some disappointment with how short the game is (about 6 hours). By the end, the game feels more like a proof of concept and a sequel would only be necessary to flesh out the game's missing potential.

DavidLeo @davidle0.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

We have been getting some great games throughout 2026 but I'll only be playing a select few: Orbitals, Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, and the Ocarina of Time remake.

How the PoR units performed during my playthrough.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is supposedly one of the easiest games in the series. But I found that it still provided a good challenge. Despite my enjoyment I do think that this game had potential to be much bigger than how it turned out. If only the game got a bigger budget...

I really REALLY tried! But Dragon Quest 11 has a super simplistic, and sadly predictable, story about light vs dark that does not justify the 60+ hour playtime. Most stories in Dragon Quest games are simple but they don't overstay their welcome.

I felt like making something.

I can appreciate the artistic vision and integrity that Alan Wake presents. But playing/controlling Alan Wake himself is where I have issues. Limited mobility, less stamina than the Souls games, awkward platforming, easily overwhelmed by enemies, and a flashlight gimmick that loses its novelty.

DavidLeo @davidle0.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

I took my first step into the Trails series with the Sky 1st Chapter remake. It's a game with high highs and forgivable lows seeing how Falcom is a small studio making multiple games at once. Props to their project management. I can see why the Trails series is not for them. But it might be for me.

Imagine the Ocarina of Time remake releasing the same day as GTA 6.

Xenoblade Genesis was the best announcement for me.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a unique experience. A tower defense visual novels doesn't sound appealing but the episodic storytelling inspired by sci-fi films makes it work. Admittedly, this game is more story than game. But if you end up liking the story, you'll be in for a wild ride.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma bites off more than it can chew. As a farming and social simulator, it's great. As a story based action game, it's bland. Otherwise it comes pretty close to what I personally would want from a farming simulator.

DavidLeo @davidle0.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Just finished my first Castlevania game (Aria of Sorrow). Short. Simple. No overbearing tutorials. Protagonist has an interesting gimmick that made me want to fight every enemy I encountered. I am genuinely interested in other games within this long running series.

A lot of contenders for Best Art Style.

Deadlock Review: The shooter elements makes this probably the most approachable MOBA while keeping the complexity and learning curve that MOBAs are known for. For an unfinished game (that you need an invite to get into the playtest) it satisfies that competitive itch I sometimes get.

Despite scheduling myself to tackle a certain portion of my backlog sometime I just get a desire to try something else. So I'll call this one my Impromptu Backlog.

Sometimes I suddenly go "I'm in the mood for THAT game."

I'm itching to replay some old Pokémon games.

DavidLeo @davidle0.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

The games that I played in 2025 really spoiled me. I fell in love with them very fast and had a strong desire to finish them. So far I can't say the same for my 2026 backlog picks. They aren't bad. But they aren't grabbing my attention the same way these previous ones did.

Honestly the award I want to see the most is Performance of the Year. So many great voice over performances this year. My favorite voices this year: Charlie Cox as Gustave Judy Lee as Melinoe Joe Pitts as Ramza Jennifer English as Maelle
