Our 25 Best Games of 2025 list is now live, celebrating the year's top gaming releases. But the big question is... how would YOU have ranked them?

I can tell you now, organizing 25 utterly fantastic games into a cohesive list isn't an easy feat. On team, we did it by creating the 25-strong long list (again, surprisingly hard in another year of excellent releases across PS5, PC, Xbox Series X, Switch 2 and more), and then getting every single team member to vote for their top 10 and tallying the votes from there. A laborious but very worthwhile process.

Sam came to GamesRadar after working at TrustedReviews, Digital Spy, and Fandom, following the completion of an MA in Journalism. In her time, she's also had appearances on The Guardian, BBC, and more. Her experience has seen her cover console and PC games, along with gaming hardware, for a decade, and for GamesRadar, she's in charge of the site's overall direction, managing the team, and making sure it's the best it can be. Her gaming passions lie with weird simulation games, big open-world RPGs, and beautifully crafted indies. She plays across all platforms, and specializes in titles like Pokemon, Assassin's Creed, The Sims, and more. Basically, she loves all games that aren't sports or fighting titles! In her spare time, Sam likes to live like Stardew Valley by cooking and baking, growing vegetables, and enjoying life in the countryside.
