Year in Review 2025 | Reconnecting with the Games That Brought Me to PC in the First Place
December 9, 2025 - 19:05
The year 2025 marked a significant turning point for many gamers, as they navigated the challenges of censorship and the soaring prices of RAM. Despite these hurdles, a renewed passion for PC gaming emerged, reminiscent of the early days when gaming was all about exploration and community.
As developers faced increasing scrutiny over content, a wave of indie games flourished, offering fresh perspectives and innovative gameplay. These titles often embraced creative freedom, allowing players to experience narratives that resonated deeply. The rise of virtual reality and enhanced graphics also played a crucial role in rekindling interest, as gamers sought immersive experiences that pushed the boundaries of technology.
While the cost of upgrading hardware posed challenges, many found ways to optimize their setups, often rediscovering older titles that had lain dormant. This year was not just about playing games; it was about reconnecting with the very essence of gaming, celebrating the stories and friendships that have stood the test of time.
