2025 is finally upon us and if the current game release calendar is anything to go by, there’s a lot to look forward to. Today, I wanted to share the games that I’m most excited about that (as of writing) are planned to release this year. Let’s get into it!
Death is something that I’ve become more acutely aware of in recent years. It started with the anime Death Note instilling the fear of a random, spontaneous death in me. Disney and Pixar’s incredible movie Coco elevated this fear to an existential level as I grappled with the terrifying thought of truly being gone because there was nothing to remember me after death. And now my latest playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 put me on a collision course with my fears as it made me ruminate on the concept of legacy.
PlayStation has a vault full of classic franchises and as per a recent Famitsu interview (reported on by VGC), co-CEO Hermen Hulst has expressed interest in reviving some of them. Between Jak and Daxter, Gravity Rush, Syphon Filter, and more, which franchises would be the best picks for a revival? Let’s talk about it!
Kingdom Hearts is a special series to me. Not only has it played a key role in molding me into the person I am today, but it’s also been a constant source of comfort for me throughout my life. With that in mind, I decided to go back to six key games from the franchise, some of which I haven’t played in a long time, in a series I call Revisiting Kingdom Hearts to see what I think of them in the year 2024. Have my feelings changed about each game over the years? Am I able to take away anything new from them that I didn’t before? How does any one game compare to the rest of the series? These are the kinds of questions I’ll be asking myself as I work my way through the franchise. In the final part of this series, I’ll be talking about Kingdom Hearts III, and what makes it the quintessential Kingdom Hearts experience.
