In the exhilarating world of gaming, 2025 is off to a roaring start as IGN delves into the top games of the year based on user feedback. Leading the pack is the epic Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, closely pursued by the stealthy Assassin's Creed Shadows and the intriguing Split Fiction. The team muses over the unexpected rise of Split Fiction and the delightful surprise of It Takes 2 capturing hearts. However, Monster Hunter Wilds, despite its acclaim, finds itself trailing slightly behind the top contenders, sparking discussions about its endgame challenges and potential to outshine its predecessor, Monster Hunter World.
As the team delves deeper into the gaming landscape, they ponder the future trajectory of Monster Hunter Wilds, emphasizing the importance of updates and enhanced difficulty to captivate players. Speculations run high as they debate the game's rating, highlighting the need for substantial improvements to elevate the overall gaming experience. Amidst these discussions, news of a scrapped Hogwarts Legacy expansion surfaces, prompting reflections on effective franchise management and fan engagement strategies.

Rounding out the top five favorite games is the captivating Avowed, sparking enthusiasm among the team members for its immersive gameplay and engaging narrative.

In a world brimming with gaming possibilities, 2025 promises to be a year filled with thrilling adventures and captivating narratives that continue to push the boundaries of interactive entertainment.
