Nowadays, I find that too many games have samey-music that complements the action without intruding - great background music with little-to-no personality.

These games in this stack are the opposite: the songs are so good you'll want to delay saving the world just to listen a bit more to it.

The games that I've played in 2025 and what I thought of them.

Items in this list will follow the following format: the first line is a 1-to-5 rating, the second is a one-liner summarizing my feelings about the game, and everything after is some additional comments.

Also, my rating system is a bit different from standard 1-to-5:

★☆☆☆☆ - Bad
★★☆☆☆ - Decent
★★★☆☆ - Good
★★★★☆ - Very Good
★★★★★ - Masterpiece

Sometimes, we find games that recall some other games, from a story, gameplay or design perspective, and we often wonder if they're related. Or the opposite happens: a series is split in one or more franchises, often from IP disputes between publishers and developers.

This stack aims to write about a few of these series.
