A year ago, we would undoubtedly have bet that the year 2025 would be marked by the Switch 2, the Nintendo console released in June. But if it is true that the console is breaking all sales records, its games, paradoxically, do not make much of an impression. Donkey Kong Bananza at 12e place, Mario Kart World at 7edo not demerit. The latest opuses of the blockbuster video game series, the Elden Ring (20e), Death Stranding (19e), Battlefield 6 (17e), Assassin’s Creed (10e) or Ghost of Yotei (8e) neither. But this year, it was more modest productions, or produced by lesser-known studios, which wowed players and our readers.
Split Fiction already, at 5e place, is certainly published by the giant Electronic Arts, but remains an unusually family video game proposition – a cooperative title, rather accessible, designed to be shared on the sofa with a friend, a companion, a child. The atypical and demanding Blue Prince, then rises to 4e place: a cerebral spectacle only possible in a video game, exploring hitherto unknown playful territories.
In a pocket handkerchief, these are Hades II et Hollow Knight : Silksong which respectively occupy the 2e et 3e places in our ranking. Two sequels, but above all two games which have the common point of owing their success less to the steamroller of marketing or to the support of console manufacturers than to extremely committed communities, born around the triumphant success of previous opuses and tempting artistic proposals.
