Metaphor: ReFantazio
Metaphor: ReFantazio is a brand new JRPG adventure created by the developers behind the critically-acclaimed Persona franchise. This game takes place in Euchronia, a kingdom suffering from political corruption, racial discrimination, and rampaging monsters known as 'Humans' terrorizing the land.
After the recent assassination of Euchronia's king, a mighty magic spell was cast to declare a special contest called the 'Tournament for the Throne'. In this contest, every citizen in Euchronia from pauper to prince will be invited to compete for a chance to become the next king/queen of the kingdom provided they earn the public's support by the end of the tournament.
You play as one of these contestants, a traveling boy who is on a secret mission to restore the throne to the late king's son, who was taken into hiding after being inflicted with a terrible curse. As the Prince's best friend, you must win the tournament on their behalf and prevent evil ne'er-do-wells from claiming the throne.
This game is the Elden Ring of Atlus JRPGs as it cherry-picks the finest aspects of its most famous franchises like Persona and Shin Megami Tensei and combines them to create an epic title that pays homage to its legacy while carving its own identity. The story is engaging, the characters are immensely likable, the music is an absolute joy to listen to, the Archetype class system is rife with possibilities, and the combat is complex and satisfying to master.
If you're an avid enjoyer of Atlus' works and turn-based JRPGs in general, then we cannot recommend this enough as we believe Metaphor: ReFantazio is one of Atlus' best JRPGs yet and a prime contender for one of the best games of 2025.

Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2
After over a decade since the release of 2011's Warhammer 40000: Space Marine, its highly requested sequel has arrived at long last and was well worth the wait. For those unaware, Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 is a third-person action game that has you step into the power armor of Space Marines, an almighty force of super soldiers sent across the cosmos to protect humanity from all manner of threats such as the bloodthirsty Tyranids or the heretical Chaos Marines.
This game is a blood-pumping thrill ride where you will employ all kinds of over-the-top weaponry and abilities to lay waste to hundreds of enemies on-screen and gigantic monstrosities the size of buildings. The combat system has a great deal of depth to master, the enemies are challenging to beat, and it has excellent three-player co-op and 5v5 PvP multiplayer game modes to compliment its tightly-paced single-player campaign.
If you're a fan of Warhammer 40000 games or action games you can blow off steam with your friends, check out our review for Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 and see if it will satisfy your co-op gaming itch.
