With 2025 in the books, that's another year of gaming write ups completed on my blog. To celebrate I've highlighted some of my favourite write ups below of the ones I'm most proud from 2025 🧵

Devastated that I think I lost my Castlevania: Belmont's Curse save, something messed up with my Steam Cloud sync. I was 15 hours in and was really loving it too! That totally killed the mood to replay it now, so I might not revisit it for a while...

"The anime of the year returns" - you're goddamn right it does!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgvs...

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

New AnyAustin video is up and I think it’s some of his best work yet. Funny, fascinating, and very well presented youtu.be/cQow1I2S8yE?...

From zero to hero, I documented my journey into my next fighting game galexzzz.com/2026/09/13/m...

My biggest problem with this is that a certain section of the audience believes a good review is one that conforms to the general consensus. Somewhere along the line people really lost the idea that not only can they have a different opinion on a piece of media, but differing opinions are exciting.

I’m not the most interested in GTA VI but I’ll admit it’s pretty cool watching all the money and manpower in the world put into one single video game to see what you get. It’s possible that no game will ever be made on this scale again.

This little guy really just came out of nowhere and instantly became a mobile modern classic galexzzz.com/2026/08/26/p...

I've been thinking about picking up the new Fire Emblem next month ever since those very positive previews dropped, but looking at the price for a new physical edition is $109 CAD plus tax! So expensive!! Maybe I'll wait a little longer for someone to sell it slightly cheaper on marketplace...

I'm glad to have finally gotten around to Mixtape after hearing so many good things about it! I highly recommend checking it out before summer ends as it was an excellent short game appropriately fitting for the late summer season and its warm nostalgia galexzzz.com/2026/08/03/m...

After returning to a nostalgic classic from nearly 20 years ago, I can safely say that Super Mario Galaxy transcends time and space in becoming one of my all-time favourites from both my childhood and adult years of gaming. galexzzz.com/2026/08/01/s...

Wow, I just finished Mixtape and the game's final moment has to be one of the most powerful singular moments I've ever had while playing a video game. Simply beautiful

Kicking off another iconic JRPG series by revisiting a classic from my childhood galexzzz.com/2026/07/15/k...

Walking away a little disappointed in Spider-Man 2, but not as disappointed as the recent choices that PlayStation has been making galexzzz.com/2026/07/09/m...

Small creatures going on big adventures seems to be a reoccurring theme for my GOTY contenders galexzzz.com/2026/07/03/m...

Statement from VGHF director Frank Cifaldi on the discontinuation of physical PlayStation media, and the closure of the PS3 and PSP digital storefronts.

If you're a normal person who didn't subject themselves to 100 hours of non-stop commercials, but you still want to see a lot of what was shown off at Zombie E3, this Steam page with all of the showcases and their games (that are on Steam) is super useful: store.steampowered.com/sale/summer_...

I love watching GMTK videos and I gotta say this is some of Mark’s best work! Super well edited and explained, and his experience from making his own games is really showing now. Incredible stuff!! youtu.be/cIbCxbrBCys?...

I don't often use the term "hidden gem", but Death Howl is certainly deserving of that title as sneakily being one of 2025's best indie games galexzzz.com/2026/05/12/d...

Kena was a wonderful blast to the past of my most nostalgic generation of games, and I cannot wait to see what the sequel cooks up! galexzzz.com/2026/05/07/k...

I will never get tired of cleansing the blight from a corrupted land. It’s like fantasy-setting power wash simulator.

Finally getting into 2026's new releases with a returning favourite's sequel galexzzz.com/2026/04/20/p...

It turns out, the game that everyone says is the best JRPG ever made and one of the greatest games created is, in fact, really good. Who would’ve thought? galexzzz.com/2026/04/10/c...

Allow me to indulge and reflect on the past 10 years of my forever multiplayer game galexzzz.com/2026/03/26/t...

Just fell to my knees in Yharnam at 30 fps

Game of the year incoming and oh god it’s got co-op!!! youtu.be/PW22jwFNxU8?...

Sometimes you just need to stop and take a break from life's busyness, and Journey was the perfect game to sit down for an afternoon with galexzzz.com/2026/02/18/j...

As one of my leftover 2025 games, Absolum absolutely knocked it out of the park as one of the best rogue-likes of the year galexzzz.com/2026/02/07/a...

Yesterday I turned 32 which means I get one more year until I’m gommage’d out of existence

Overwatch is back hell yeahhh

In the latest addition to my blog, I've compiled all of my most favourite screenshots I've taken while gaming throughout the past few years. Take a look! galexzzz.com/galactic-gal...

My initial impression of Highguard from last night was that it’s basically Apex Legends with a mess of added ideas and aesthetics. It’s sorta fun if you squint and it definitely removes the lows of the BR genre but also the highs as well. And that’s with having all my rounds going down to the wire

I spent the weekend trying to process what's happening in my city of Minneapolis, Minnesota by creating this video. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

I’m back listening to the NieR: Automata soundtrack again and stumbled upon this Weight of the World remix when it did a collab with FFXIV. Good god what an insane cover youtu.be/gPSOaSwdEaE?...
