My most anticipated games of 2025 | The rhythm of the dean

I’m going to keep this post short since Rachel Kaser is giving this topic the real treatment. I wanted to weigh in on my own list of the most anticipated games of 2025. The list is in reverse order and the number one most anticipated game is at the bottom of this post.
