Okay, so we just finished up all our Game of the Year stuff for 2025, which was awesome! But before I totally dive into planning for 2026, there’s still one last thing I need to wrap up.
We’re talking about our Game of the Month. While December’s new releases may have been overlooked due to all the talk about Game of the Year, these games still deserve attention.
And so here we are, ready to determine our official Game of the Month for December 2025.
Honestly, December usually feels a little empty when it comes to big game releases. It’s because the major publishers usually get their huge games out in October or November. They do this so they have more time to advertise and get everyone hyped before the holidays, which makes a lot of sense, I guess.
December 2025 didn’t feature many blockbuster game releases, which actually gave smaller, independent games an opportunity to stand out.
Honestly, between trying to catch up on all the games I already own, I was really enjoying titles like Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Skate Story, and Terminator 2D: No Fate. They kept me pretty occupied!
Recently, several exciting games were released. Octopath Traveler 0 offered a unique approach to Square Enix’s role-playing games, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 became available on PS5, and Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut let players revisit a beloved story with Kiryu.
Before we move on to the main vote, let’s quickly remember the Games of the Month from 2025.
- January: Ninja Gaiden 2 Black
- February: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
- March: Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- April: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- May: DOOM: The Dark Ages
- June: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
- July: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
- August: Metal Gear Solid Delta
- September: Silent Hill F
- October: Ghost of Yotei
- November: Dispatch
I’m so excited to help decide which game will be Push Square’s Game of the Month for December 2025! They’re letting us, the fans, vote, and I can’t wait to cast my pick. After you vote in the poll, make sure to share why you chose that game in the comments – I always love reading everyone’s thoughts!
Voting closes on Thursday the 8th January 2026, at 00:00 BST.
