2025’s Best‑Reviewed Gaming Publishers Aren’t At All Who You’d Expect

As a big gamer, I always check Metacritic to see how the year’s releases stack up. They’ve started doing a really detailed breakdown of each major publisher, and their 2025 report was interesting. Square Enix and Capcom seemed to be doing great, but it really pointed out some struggles for Nintendo and Sony. Honestly, seeing where they ranked, especially with new companies trying to break into the console market, makes me a little worried about what the future holds for those two giants.
