For months, I’ve been keeping an eye out for Denshattack!, an enticingly loud stunt-action game that’s somewhere between an autorunner and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, if Tony Hawk was an electric locomotive and not a man of mortal flesh. I played it last year and was instantly smitten with its speedy, tricksy rail riding, and now that there’s a newly released Steam demo, perhaps you will be too.
A recap: of the seven hopefuls I slipped into our bulk 2025 list of "Oh, that looks alright" games, only three actually released in 2025, and one of them wasn’t very good. If it’s the hope that kills you, I am therefore dead four, arguably five times over. Real Necron shit, honestly.
There's something about dark, winter nights that makes them perfect for horror games. Perhaps it's the fact that, by 4pm, the streetlights are casting eerie shadows across the sidewalk, tempting your imagination to run wild. Or maybe it's those cold nighttime breezes that tickle the back of your neck and make your hairs stand on end. In the grim darkness of winter (whether it's this millennium or the 41st), anything feels possible. So, if you feel like getting into the mood and scaring yourself to death, Fireshine Games' new survival FPS, AILA, is perfect for you.

We're spoiled for choice when it comes to the best sandbox games that you can play with friends. But while it's easy to fall back on big names like Minecraft, Terraria, and Stardew Valley, I'd recommend gathering your group for a few sessions of Core Keeper. Launched out of early access in 2024 to a 94%-positive Steam reception, it's a very worthy addition to the collection, and it's about to get even bigger. Developer Pugstorm has just unveiled its next update, Void and Voltage, which adds a new biome, dungeon, and boss to discover, and it'll be arriving for free in January.
