New Releases and Highly Anticipated Games of 2025
As 2025 approaches, a wave of exciting new games is set to make their debut, including titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, Split Fiction, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and the latest installment in the Assassin’s Creed series, Shadows.
Moreover, there are still several highly anticipated titles that gamers are eagerly awaiting, such as Elden Ring: Nightreign and the blockbuster Grand Theft Auto 6. However, amidst this sea of upcoming releases, one game has unexpectedly risen to prominence, becoming the top-rated game of the year: Blue Prince.
Exploring Mt. Holly: A Unique Adventure Awaits
The game introduces various environments within Mt. Holly, a seemingly ordinary setting that conceals extraordinary challenges within. Each room presents unique trials and puzzles, while also encouraging creativity and innovation as players navigate the intricacies of Room 46, a mysterious chamber with hidden secrets.
The adventure does not end there. As each day concludes, the entire Mt. Holly setting will be reconfigured, leaving only upgraded versions of the original design as evidence of progress. This is where Blue Prince incorporates its rogue-like essence, as players must not only solve puzzles to advance but also gather resources and upgrade their abilities to prepare for the next exploration phase.
Currently, Blue Prince is receiving accolades as the highest-rated game of 2025, boasting an impressive score of 92/100. The game has outperformed numerous notable titles such as Split Fiction, Monster Hunter Wilds, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Avowed. Whether Blue Prince can maintain its position atop the Metacritic rankings by the end of the year remains to be seen, but it is undoubtedly a significant achievement for an indie title.
Developed by Dogubomb, Blue Prince officially launched on April 10 on Steam and various other platforms.
