About this episode

The episode discusses the best games of 2025 and the Melonmancy Podcast's awards for game of the year.

We are so back GAMERS, Happy new year! It's time to talk about the best games of 2025. Be it drama surrounding the industry shows such as The Game Awards, as well as our own nominations. Here's how the Melonmancy Podcast awards game of the year: since it's unrealistic to always be playing new games at full price, unless you're some paid off corpo journalist, each member of our cast will award the best new game they played this year, be it new or old. It must only be new TO YOU. Please send us boostagrams or post on our forum what was the best new game YOU played last year and we'll talk about it next team, even if the game is fuckin ancient, if its new to you, it's new.
