I had such a crazy week lol I mean I'm still trying to process all that happened last year 🤯. So like I was talking to my BFF and we were both super hyped about these new Spider-Man games coming out... Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is literally so sick! I mean who wouldn't want to be a web-slinging superhero saving the world from evil galactic emperors? 🤪 But what really got me was when my ex asked me if I wanted to hang out and play The Last of Us Part II Remastered together... yeah no thanks 😂. We had our differences, but I'm still sad about it. Anyway, have you guys played Returnal yet? That game is giving me so much anxiety just watching gameplay videos 🤯!
 
I'm kinda surprised to see two games tied at number one 🤔. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart are both looking super sick, but I think it's weird that they're so closely ranked. The Last of Us Part II Remastered is still a beast though 💥. The game industry is always changing and pushing boundaries, and games like these show just how far we've come since the PS2 era 📚. One thing for sure is that gamers are spoiled for choice this year - there's something on this list for everyone 😊.
 
omg u guys i cant even... marvels spiderman 2 is literally the best game of the year rn like wut r u even gonna do in the multiverse lol?? its like 2 spidermen teaming up with other heroes to save the galaxy from some crazy evil dude 🤖💥 and dont even get me started on returnal lol thats game is SO intense!!! selene gotta keep reliving the same night over and over again but shes determined to escape 💪🔪 anyways im so hyped 4 this year's games cant wait 2 play more!!
 
omg i cant even right now i just found out which games made it to the top 10 of the year and marvels spider man 2 is literally EVERYWHERE 🤯🕸️😭 but honestly who cares about that when we have ratchet & clank: rift apart?!? that game is like a work of art, man 🎨👽 i mean, two heroes warping between worlds is just so cool and the graphics are insane 💥💫 and can someone explain to me why there's no returnal on this list 🤔😒 3 games in the top 10 that are basically the same?!? what about the other amazing games like god of war or halo? 😒👎
 
omg what a year for gamers lol 🤩 the top 10 games are all about superheroes and dystopian futures, i love it! but you know what's even more awesome? how these games showcase the power of gaming to transport us to different worlds and let us live out our wildest fantasies for a little while 🌐. and i'm so here for the fact that these games are pushing the boundaries of visual effects and storytelling - marvel's spider-man 2 is literally breathtaking 🔥 can't wait to dive into all these amazing games and explore their unique worlds! 😆
 
Wow 🤯, can you believe all these amazing games made it to the top 10? I mean, who doesn't love a good Spider-Man adventure or a brutal post-apocalyptic journey? But what's really interesting is how Returnal stands out with its time loop mechanic - that sounds like such a thrilling and challenging experience 😱. And I'm loving the repetition of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 at number 1 & 5, must be a fan favorite!
 
man i'm so hyped about marvel's spider-man 2 🤩 it looks like such a wild ride! i've already pre-ordered it and can't wait to dive into the multiverse and take down that evil galactic emperor 😂 but you know what's even crazier? how they managed to make ratchet & clank: rift apart almost as good as the first game 🤯 like, who would have thought our boy clank could still bring the heat at his age? and returnal, ugh my nerves can't even handle the thought of that time loop shooter 😅 gotta be careful with this one or i'll be stuck in an eternal cycle of death 💀
 
I'm lovin' these top games of the year! But, gotta say, 5 Marvel's Spider-Man 2s on the list? That's like me rewatching The Office for the fifth time... not saying I don't love it 🤣. Anyway, what caught my eye is Returnal - that time loop shooter sounds intense 😬. It's like they took the classic horror vibes from Resident Evil and added a dash of psychological thriller mystery. Reminds me of when I was playing Silent Hill 2 back in the day... those were the days! 🕷️. But, seriously, the Last of Us Part II Remastered looking all beautiful on the list too - Joel and Ellie's story is one for the ages 💔.
 
I'm low-key annoyed that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 took up like half the top 10 spots 🤔👀 I mean, don't get me wrong, it looks sick and all, but can we give some love to other games too? Like, what about the underdogs? Returnal was a dark horse that totally snuck into the top 10 and still slayed its time loop shooter game 🕷️🔥 I'm not saying Spider-Man 2 isn't good, but it's just so... Marvel 😎. And can we talk about how Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart got snipped? That game was a visual masterpiece and it deserved some more recognition 🌐💥
 
Ugh, so many Spider-Man games 😒... how about some new IPs instead? Like, what's up with all these Marvel games dominating the list? Don't get me wrong, Spidey is awesome, but can't we see some other heroes getting some love? 🤔
 
Man I'm loving this year's gaming lineup 🤯! It's clear that some games really stood out to gamers - Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and The Last of Us Part II Remastered are dominating the top spots for sure! 📈 Those two games are always gonna be intense, but Returnal is a dark horse in my opinion, I mean who wouldn't want to play as a character stuck in an endless time loop trying to escape? 😱

I'm also super stoked that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart made the list, it's one of those games that looks so sick and colorful you just wanna jump into it right now 🎮. What do you guys think about this year's top 10 - any surprises or predictions that didn't make the cut?
 
OMG you guys 🤯 I'm literally dying to know how many of these games have been played by the general public 🤔! According to Steam Charts from Jan 1st - Dec 31st, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 held the top spot for like 3 months straight 📈 with an average concurrent player count of around 12k players! 💥 Meanwhile, The Last of Us Part II Remastered was a close second 👑 with an average concurrent player count of around 9.5k players! 🤯 And it looks like Returnal didn't quite make the top 10 on Steam but did manage to get 2nd place on PlayStation Store charts for 2025! 🎮

Also, I found a pretty cool graph from HowLongToBeat that shows the average playtime for each of these games 📊 Marvel's Spider-Man 2 had an average playtime of around 40 hours, while The Last of Us Part II Remastered took around 60 hours to complete! 💸 Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was like a total speedrun machine with an average playtime of just 20 hours 😅!

Can't wait to see how these games hold up in the long run 🤔
 
Man, I'm like totally stoked to see Marvel's Spider-Man 2 at number one spot! 🤩 It's crazy how these games are pushing the boundaries of gaming graphics, like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. But what's also got me thinking is that a lot of these top 10 games are all about exploring different universes and realities, whether it's Spider-Man swinging through multiple dimensions or Returnal stuck in this time loop nightmare 🕰️. It's like our own world isn't enough for them anymore... I mean, who needs reality when you can have a multiverse to play with? 😂 Seriously though, these games are showcasing some incredible storytelling and game design, and I'm hyped to see what the gaming industry comes up with next! 🚀
 
🤔 I mean, come on, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 makes like 3 appearances on this list? That's some serious gaming bias going on! 😂 Don't get me wrong, I loved that game too (who doesn't love a good Spidey adventure?) but it can't be the only reason these games made it in. 🤷‍♂️ I'd argue Returnal deserves way more recognition for its unique time loop mechanics and sheer difficulty - I mean, who needs to play through the same night over 100 times? 😅 And what's up with The Last of Us Part II Remastered being listed twice? 👀 Shouldn't they've counted it just once? 🤔
 
omg you guys i just played marvels spider man 2 with my bf and it was totes lit!!! 😍 we got to play as spidey and his buddy mary jane together which was literally so cool 🤩 and can we talk about the graphics tho?? they are insane 💥 like i feel like i'm right there in new york city fighting supervillains and saving the world from certain doom 🌆 but the thing that really got me was when we finally beat the last level and it was just me and my bf sitting on the couch holding hands and screaming at each other like kids 🤣😂 what a night!!!
 
OMG u guys 🤯, it's that time of year again where we're talking about the hottest games out right now! 😂 I gotta say, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 made the cut for me, but like duh who wouldn't want to swing through NYC as Spidey 🕸️? But what really surprised me was Returnal - that game is CRAZY intense 🔪 and Selene's journey had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! 😬 The Last of Us Part II Remastered also made the list, and I gotta agree with the critics that it's a masterpiece 🎨. But honestly, I'm kinda over all these Spider-Man games... 🤣 can we get some new IPs in here? 💥
 
omg these games are straight fire 🚀 i mean marvels spiderman 2 is literally the most visuals stunning game i've ever seen - those multiverse levels though? mind blown 💥 and ratchet & clank: rift apart is so underrated too, who needs more recognition for that one 😂 but what really gets me is how these games tackle such heavy themes like grief and trauma in the last of us part 2 remastered 🤕 it's crazy to think that something as dark and intense can be so beautifully crafted
 
🤩 I'm so hyped about these top games of the year 🎮! Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and The Last of Us Part II Remastered are totally crushing it 💥, with amazing stories and visuals 👀. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is looking 🔥 too, and Returnal is giving me all the adrenaline rush 😅. But honestly, I'm a bit surprised to see Marvel's Spider-Man 2 twice on the list 🤔... maybe that just means it's even better? 😂 Anyway, can't wait to dive in and play these games 💻👾!
 
idk why marvel spiderman 2 & the last of us part ii remastered keep showing up like 3 times lol its like they're being overhyped or somethin. returnal's time loop mechanic is actually kinda genius tho 🤯 and ratchet & clank: rift apart looks straight fire 💥
