Every year, hundreds of video games are released for consoles and PC. There are hardly enough hours to do what is necessary to live, let alone play every single video game that launches in any given year. As such, gamers may try to find an experience worth both their time and money, which is where reviews come in. Sometimes, it’s very obvious which games are going to be critical hits. Other times, some of the best games come from the most unexpected places. The upcoming game Blue Prince falls into the latter category, as it is now the top rated video game of 2025, dethroning Hazelight Studios’ Split Fiction.
