We all have a backlog. It’s just a way of life as a video game enthusiast. As we’re now over halfway through 2025, which has graced us with many exceptional titles, what’s the biggest game to release this year that you still haven’t played?
My answer for this is easy: Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. It’s big, it’s long, and, by many accounts, it’s fantastic. My fellow editor Wesley LeBlanc spoke highly of it in his glowing review, scoring the game a 9.5 out of 10. That’s Game of the Year caliber, meaning I’m professionally obligated to at least put some significant time into the copy I own for end-of-year award discussions. I just have to make the time; a daunting task with so many other games both available and on the horizon.
I’ve confessed my crimes, so I turn the discussion to you all, our lovely readers: what’s the biggest 2025 release still awaiting your attention? Do you think you’ll actually play (or even finish) it this year? Sound off in the comments!
