Introduction
At Game Informer, writing game reviews is one of our primary functions. As such, we cover hundreds of titles each and every year, hoping to turn you on to your next favorite game. However, within that field, a select few rise to the top as the games we most highly recommend. While you’re always welcome to peruse our reviews page for the latest and greatest (and sometimes worst) games on the market, we’ve gathered our highest-scoring reviews of 2025 right here.
When Game Informer was re-launched in March of this year, we made it a point to review many of the games we missed, but we couldn’t cover them all. As such, some critically acclaimed games, such as Split Fiction, aren’t on this list, as we were unable to review them while playing catch-up. However, we have reviews for most of the biggest games of 2025, and you can see the ones we think are the most worthwhile below.
Be sure to bookmark this page and check back frequently, as we’ll continue to update it as more titles earn review scores on the top end of our review scale.
