Siliconera’s Best Overall Game of the Year 2025 It’s all been leading to this. In a year with so many great releases, which one did the Siliconera team pick as the best of the best? Honestly, we didn’t expect this one either. These awards represent the consensus of the Siliconera staff. For more of the year’s award selections, check out our Game of the Year 2025 archive . Blue Prince Sure, sure, Dogubomb’s Blue Prince is one of the best games of the year, a generational release for some members of our staff and a great example of why game devs should play more good board games. For sure. And of course, it’s structured so masterfully that it has players who have never been achievement hunters going after all the game’s trophies. We’ve all talked about that . But given that this may be the last time we get a chance to ask: when are y’all patching in Dirigiblocks ? We want to see it. Hades II For a game that shares so much DNA with its predecessor, it’s wild how fresh and different the gameplay itself feels. Its systems intersect in fresh ways, and the constant shifting of options makes something as simple as fighting a few enemies in a room feel different every time. Very few games these days are for everyone, especially in the indie space, but we’d be hard-pressed to find someone reading this who shouldn’t give Hades II a try. Winner: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Well this was wildly unlikely. We here at Siliconera have done a lot of reporting over the years on Level-5, especially in its modern era of mass development headaches and constant delays. And with Fantasy Life in particular! But the team got the game over the finish line and out to the public eventually, and — though the seams from patching together pieces from the many development shifts are clearly visible — the resulting game is a ton of fun . Congrats to the developers for all their efforts along the way: Fantasy Life i is the Siliconera Game of the Year 2025.

FFVII Ever Crisis New Year 2026 Updates Include a Tifa Kimono Square Enix released a brief trailer on social media that went over some of the New Year 2026 updates that will start appearing in FFVII Ever Crisis as of 7am PT/10am ET on December 31, 2025. First and foremost are freebies for logging in. However, there will also be a new kimono costume for Tifa in FFVII Ever Crisis . The costume for Tifa is called the Golden Flower Kimono, and it will be in the FFVII Ever Crisis in-game shop. This means you will need to spend real money to get it. It is part of New Year 2026 Pack Vol 1. The initial tweet showed official art of her wearing it and a clip of her wearing the gear during a fight. The store update portion of the announcement also confirmed that there will be Legendary Pack I (Cloud), Legendary Pack III (Tifa), and Legendary Pack IV (Aerith) sold between December 31, 2025 and January 3, 2026. As for the free login bonuses, they are doled out depending on how many times you log in. When you first show up between December 31, 2025 and January 3, 2026, you immediately get 1 5-star Weapon Voucher, 10 Refined Mythrils, 30 Mythril Ingots, 100 Stamina Tonics, 5,000 Blue Crystals, and 2,026,000 Gil. If people log in for three more days after that, they get 26 New Year 2026 Medals to trade for New Year Lucky Bags with Limit Break Weapons and 3,000 Blue Crystals. Showing up for 14 more days nets someone 20 Mythril Ingots, 50 Sephiroth (Original)-Specific Weapon Parts, 50 Yuffie-Specific Weapon Parts, and 3,000 Blue Crystals. Here’s the full trailer: https://twitter.com/FFVII_EC_EN/status/2005881538353979830 This isn’t the first time Tifa got a kimono costume in FFVII Ever Crisis, as she got gear with that sort of design back in January 2025 too . FFVII Ever Crisis is available on PCs and mobile devices, and the New Year 2026 updates start appearing on December 31, 2025.

River City Ransom: Underground Being Delisted Conatus Creative announced that the River City Ransom: Underground PC game is being delisted from Steam on December 30, 2025. It is currently on sale on that platform for $2.99 , though it is still $19.99 on GOG and Humble . It seems the process is already underway, as images are gone from Steam and Humble both. The reason for the game abruptly disappearing is due to the end of a licensing agreement. Arc System Works is the rights-holder for the River City/Downtown Nekketsu IP. When Conatus Creative started working on this project and began crowdfunding for it on Kickstarter , it entered into an agreement with the parent company. As long as someone owns the game, they’ll still have access to River City Ransom: Underground after it is delisted. Others won’t have access. (The last time it was down on Steam, it was due to a false DMCA takedown .) This River City Ransom spin-off begins with Merv offering a reward for saving the kidnapped Angel, with the River City High gang known as The Flock blamed for it. As things begin, members Bruno, Glen, Paul, and Provie head out to prove their innocence and find both Angel and their missing leader Chris. As we go through the story in the beat’em up, we encounter other characters we can recruit, like Alex and Ryan, beat up opposing gangs, and learn the truth about the situation. Here’s an official trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYpfel22L5M River City Ransom: Underground appeared on PCs and is being delisted.

Siliconera’s Best Remake/Remaster of 2025 Sometimes the best games of a year aren’t exactly games of that year. In our Best Remake/Remaster category, we honor the attempts to preserve and restore favorites of yesteryear. Who did we pick? Read on. These awards represent the consensus of the Siliconera staff. For more of the year’s award selections, check out our Game of the Year 2025 archive . Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles For such a beloved game, there was never a truly ideal way to play Final Fantasy Tactics on modern systems . The Ivalice Chronicles solves this , with a full recreation of the original look and two different options for those who prefer quality-of-life updates as well as traditionalists. While it wasn’t an overhaul in the way some were wanting, preserving the original in this way is warranted when the original is this good. Raidou Remastered Atlus has been on a remaster kick lately, but few games deserved or needed it as much as Raidou . It’s an action game in ways that we haven’t seen from Shin Megami Tensei since, and it’s also become something of a grail game in the intervening years because of how tough it was to track down. This new edition preserves the original’s appeal , while making it a lot more accessible than the original Devil Summoner releases. Winner: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition It escaped ! One of the Wii U’s last remaining exclusives is no longer so, and the many Xenoblade fans who joined on in the Switch era finally gained access to the cult favorite spin-off . And it gained some new content and mechanical refinements in the journey. It may be fairly recent in terms of games needing remasters, but the circumstances surrounding it make the move not only justifiable but appreciated. It's our Best Remake/Remaster of 2025! And heck, maybe there's still hope for Kirby and the Rainbow Curse . The post Siliconera’s Best Remake/Remaster of 2025 appeared first on Siliconera .
