MY 2025 GAME OF THE YEAR

 ... Is Pokemon Legends ZA!!!

I had the most fun with it.  

It modernized this little concept of avoiding other trainers:

Well, bad example, but I couldn't find a gif or the drive to make my own gif.  And the DLC too, it just feels so wholesome with the little Donuts and stuff.  The donut making part of it is annoying though and it can be stressful... but for the most part, I like it a lot.  After finishing X and Y I always wanted a Z and this is the Z I was waiting for.

Uh...

 Nope! I don't think so.
