2025 GAMING IS SO BACK: SWITCH 2, SILKSONG IS REAL, AND AAA IS MALTHING

WE HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE BACK. 2025 just dropped the hardest meta since the pandemic and the hardware wars are reaching PEAK FICTION. Nintendo finally stopped gatekeeping and released the NINTENDO SWITCH 2 on June 5, 2025, according to en.wikipedia.org. But hold your controllers, because it’s not just about the slab of plastic—the games are actually BASED. We got Hades II and—don't scream—Hollow Knight: Silksong actually existing and selling over 7 million copies. Absolute skill issue for the haters who said it was vaporware.

While the AAA industry is currently in a MEGA CRINGE spiral with massive layoffs and Ubisoft literally striking deals with Tencent just to survive, the indie and mid-tier kings are absolutely MOGGING everyone. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Blue Prince are sitting pretty with 92 Metascores, while Schedule I generated up to $125 million in gross revenue in months. Even Donkey Kong is back with Donkey Kong Bananza on the Switch 2, which lets you literally break the levels. Imagine being a big studio and getting out-cooked by a monkey with a reset button.

Here is the absolute CHAD lineup of 2025 bangers:

Hades II (Metascore: 95) - Absolute god-tier roguelike energy.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Switch 2 Edition (Metascore: 95) - Hyrule but make it 4K and fast as heck.
Hollow Knight: Silksong (Metascore: 90) - It's real, it's here, stop crying.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Metascore: 92) - Sandfall Interactive really showed the AAA devs how to build an RPG.

Between the SWITCH 2 launch and the ROG Xbox Ally hitting the streets in October, your wallet is probably already dead. But who cares? We're getting Death Stranding 2: On The Beach and Metroid Prime 4 rumors are actually turning into reality. If you aren't hyped, you're literally just an NPC. Stay mad, stay gaming, and let's go get those Korok seeds on our new hardware. LFG!
