Whoop whoop! Catching up on “things I wanted to do for years” volume 3! Finally up to speed on this series of posts (that in fairness don’t attract many readers): 2025 Gaming in Review. Here’s my Steam gaming history of this year, for once only containing recommendation! Seriously: No lowlights here!<\/p>\n\n\n

Robert\u2019s highlights of 2025 gaming in review: Age of History II and Wartales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Japan who? Japan me!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Age of History II<\/a> was one of two absolute highlights this year: Easy to learn, hard to master on higher levels of difficulty. Extremely addictive (just one more turn) and challenging against a relentless AI. Achievements are a bit of a grind, but hey, there are countless worlds to conquer!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Wartales\"
Wartales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The second highlight and still is Wartales<\/strong>! What an amazing game, both in single player and co-op. Really hard to describe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Wartales is an open world RPG in which you lead a group of mercenaries in their search for wealth across a massive medieval universe. Explore the world, recruit companions, collect bounties and unravel the secrets of the tombs of the ancients!<\/p>\nSteam teaser text by Shiro Games<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However that doesn’t quite kick it: The turn-based combat system is pretty amazing and leaves enough room to make it even harder. The world is pretty amazing even though not that flexible that many play-throughs would yield surprises and variety. That doesn’t dampen the fun however, because you can just form an entirely different party which shakes things up sufficiently.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steam Replay 2025:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"2025<\/a>
2025 Gaming in Review: Replay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Does this ever get boring? Even after more than a decade post release, Civilization 5<\/a> was leading the pack of games being played in 2025. Followed by the two highlights above. Here’s my complete overview<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2026 outlook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wartales will probably still play a big role, despite continuing in singleplayer. Civ 5 is still going strong and as long as the Multiplayer Community of GIANT MULTIPLAYER ROBOT<\/a> has a few dozen really active players that probably won’t change. Let’s see if we can keep this up until old age…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
