🎮 Games I’m Looking Forward to in 2025👾

Expect to see these games on stream this year! ✨🪩

Format: [Game Title] (Platforms Available) {Platform I’ll be Getting it On} | <Release Date U.S.>

🎮 Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered (Switch, PS4/5, Xbox, PC) {PS5}

🗓️Release date: Feb 14

💬I loooooved TR: The Last Revelation. It was the first game I had on the PS1 and specifically got a PS1 to play this game. I remember being so annoyed by Von Croy in the tutorial. Hopefully I can recapture my childhood annoyance with Von Croy in the remaster.

🎮 Mafia: The Old Country (PS4/5, Xbox, PC) {PC}

🗓️Release date: To Be Announced, expected mid-2025.

💬The Mafia series has easily become one of my favorite gaming series of all time (Mafia 3 at least had a good soundtrack and tried to do something different). Very much looking forward to the next installment. My friends and I quote Joe Barbaro all the time.

🎮 Hello Kitty Island Adventure (Switch, PC, PS4/5) {Switch}

🗓️Release date: January 30

💬Think Animal Crossing x Hello Kitty x Open World Exploration game? I’m always down to play something cozy and cute like this, snuggled up in bed or on the couch with my favorite blanket and something hot to drink ☕️💖🐱

🎮 Sniper Elite: Resistance (PC, PS4/5, Xbox) {PC}

🗓️Release date: January 30

💬 I’ve been in my “stealthy era 💅” for the last few years with gaming. I challenge myself to get in and get out as quietly as possible. Which is quite a contrast to my “blast first ask questions later” mode I was in as a kid. I love games that offer multiple ways to complete a mission and the Sniper Elite series certainly offers that. Some sniping, usually some history or cool locations mixed in. Absolutely 🎯

🎮 Mouse: P.I. For Hire (All Platforms) {PC}

🗓️Release date: To Be Announced

💬Mickey Mouse/Steamboat Willie Boomer Shooter set to a jazzy soundtrack. Do I need to say more?

🎮 Assassin’s Creed Shadows (PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S) {PS5 Collector’s Edition)

🗓️Release Date: March 20

💬I know I’m probably going to get bored at the very least with AC Shadows, but I’m committed to the series. Here’s to hoping this one is good 🥂 and all the controversy around this title is just publicity/“bad press is good press”. I don’t mind even the worst AC games, that’s how much of a chokehold they have on me. 😭

🎮 Tales of the Shire (PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S, Switch) {Switch}

🗓️Release date: March 25

💬Another cozy life sim. This one can interestingly be played via the Netflix games app as well. Does anyone actually use that? This Lord of the Rings game puts you in the place of a hobbit who has taken up residence in the village of Bywater. Craft, farm, fish, customize your home, yap with neighbors. Hate to say it but: Animal Crossing meets LOTR. I don’t have a problem with that. 🏡 🧝🏻‍♀️

🎮Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 (PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S) {PC}

🗓️Release date: TBA

💬I really dug Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines, released all the way back in 2004. I’m very much looking forward to this long-awaited sequel!

🎮 Subnautica 2 (Early Access) (PC, Xbox (for now)) {PC}🗓️Release date: TBA 2025

💬Now, normally I avoid early access like the plague unless something really seems unique or the developer has a good track record, Subnautica was such a cool experience that if/when the early access drops for Subnautica 2, I’ll very much consider adding it to my Steam library. Until then, I recommend Subnautica for all of your alien ocean exploration needs. #gaming #gamergirls #xbox #pcgaming
