  • Game of the Year 2025 (ft. Glenn Moore).

    Game of the Year 2025 (ft. Glenn Moore).
    Dec 23 2025

    The year is winding down, inboxes are quietening (lol), time is about to lose all meaning, and the year’s great cultural arguments are finally ready to be settled. Perfect timing, then, for My Perfect Console: Game of the Year 2025.


    In this special episode, host Simon Parkin is joined by comedian Glenn Moore to build two consoles that capture what this year felt like to play.

    Expect games obsessed with truth and lies, long walks through beautiful ruin, and at least one adventure that asks what honour even means when the world itself seems intent on grinding you down. Somewhere in the mix: an audacious reinvention of a familiar legend, a sequel that arrived carrying enormous expectations, and a descent into a world that feels both brutally familiar and eerily transformed.


    As ever, the joy isn’t just in the picks, but in the why. What does it take to make a game great in 2025? Is ambition enough? Does finesse matter more than surprise? And how much should we forgive a game that utterly consumes our lives, even when it makes us a bit miserable?
