Can you believe we’ve already hit July 2025? Time is flying, and the gaming world isn’t slowing down either. June delivered an impressive lineup of new video game releases that truly raised the bar, whether you’re into story-driven adventures, high-octane shooters, or creative indie titles. If you missed out on any of last month’s best games, now’s the perfect time to catch up. These recent hits are not just great for passing the time; they’re some of the top must-play games of 2025 so far. So before that next major release lands on your radar, dive into these exciting titles and see what the buzz is all about.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic
The enduring success of the Five Nights at Freddy’s universe is a true testament to both its dedicated development team and its passionate fan base. With each new instalment, the franchise continues to evolve, and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic is no exception. This time, you’re not trapped in the familiar haunted pizzeria; instead, the horror unfolds inside a chilling “costume manor”, once the workshop of a brilliant but mysterious creator responsible for designing the original animatronic costumes.
But you’re not alone.
One of his creations—The Mimic—now stalks the dark halls. This terrifying entity can shapeshift into any iconic character from the FNAF series, making every shadow a potential threat. Your mission is simple: retrieve a vital item. But with the Mimic watching your every move and adapting as you play, survival is anything but guaranteed. Do you have what it takes to outsmart the ultimate predator before it’s too late?
Rematch
While most sports games aim for hyper-realistic simulations, Rematch takes a refreshing detour with its fast-paced, arcade-style soccer action. Ditch the strict rules and tactical slowdowns—this 5v5 third-person soccer experience is all about speed, style, and chaotic fun.
In Rematch, the pitch becomes your playground. You’ll sprint, tackle, shoot, and score without worrying about red cards or offsides. The game embraces a no-holds-barred attitude, delivering non-stop energy and over-the-top moments that keep every match unpredictable. Whether you’re teaming up with friends or facing off in online multiplayer, Rematch offers a fun, casual alternative to traditional sports sims—perfect for players who value excitement over realism.
Dune: Awakening
Welcome to the unforgiving sands of Arrakis, where survival is only the beginning. Dune: Awakening is a massive open-world survival MMO that blends the rich lore of Frank Herbert’s legendary novels and the cinematic power of the films into a bold new gaming experience.
Rather than stepping into the shoes of Paul Atreides, Dune: Awakening lets you forge your own path as a unique character within the Dune universe. Align with iconic factions, make allies or enemies out of key characters, and compete with other players for dominance and—of course—the coveted spice.
Every decision matters as you navigate political intrigue, resource warfare, and the harsh elements of the desert planet. Will you become a hero, a tyrant, or something far more unpredictable? On Arrakis, the spice must flow—but so must your ambition.
Broken Arrow
If you’re craving large-scale modern warfare with a tactical edge, Broken Arrow delivers the ultimate battlefield experience. Set in the tense and volatile Baltic region, this real-time strategy game pits the United States against Russia in a high-stakes conflict that could shape global history.
Broken Arrow isn’t about mindless firepower—it’s about strategy, precision, and adapting to the battlefield. With a massive arsenal of over 300 customisable units, from infantry and tanks to aircraft and artillery, players must carefully build their loadouts and execute well-planned manoeuvres to outsmart the enemy.
Across 19 intense missions, you’ll command your forces, manage logistics, and engage in explosive combat scenarios that reward both patience and aggression. Whether you’re a seasoned RTS veteran or new to the genre, Broken Arrow offers deep gameplay with modern military realism.
Date Everything!
There are times when games aren’t meant to be serious but instead be a fun romp to go through. Date Everything! is one such title. The game is about you who have just lost your job and are feeling bad about life. Then, you get a gift from someone that will bring your house to life in a way that is…unexpected. As in, it’ll transform your everyday house items into full-blown humanoid characters that you can date, hate, or anything in between.
The game is stacked with incredible voice acting talent, a branching narrative, and more. No one saw this game coming, yet most can’t wait to dive in and literally “date everything”.
System Shock 2 Remaster
Few games have left a legacy as profound as System Shock 2, a title that helped define the sci-fi RPG genre and inspired countless classics that followed. Now, Nightdive Studios is bringing the horror back with System Shock 2 Remaster, a modern reimagining of the 1999 cult classic—revamped with updated visuals, audio, and gameplay improvements.
You awaken aboard the Von Braun, a deep-space vessel gripped by chaos. Mutants, rogue robots, and a malevolent AI named SHODAN have turned the ship into a nightmarish battleground. With survival hanging by a thread, you’ll need to scavenge resources, upgrade your abilities, and uncover the horrifying truth behind the station’s downfall.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering the series for the first time, System Shock 2 Remaster blends immersive storytelling, deep RPG mechanics, and psychological horror in a way that still feels groundbreaking in 2025.
The Alters
Rarely do video games nowadays truly create “unique experiences” anymore. After all, “there’s nothing new under the sun,” right? In the case of The Alters, though, we do get a unique gameplay loop that centers around both survival and the paths not taken. You play a man who is stranded on a planet that is going to be extinguished, and thus, he needs to get off it.
However, to fix his ship to do so, he needs help from “variants” of himself known as Alters. He must choose wisely who he brings into the mix and then work with them to both get the job done and help them overcome their own issues about what’s happening around them.
Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4
There are few video game developers more respected than Toby Fox. The man is an artist and creator of the highest order, creating both memorable characters, worlds, and music that blend together in a way that you can’t really enjoy unless you dive into the game yourself and experience all it has to offer.
Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 have been a LONG time coming, and the fans know it. Yet, true to his nature, Toby Fox has delivered pretty much a perfect set of chapters for you to take part in. When will the next chapter arrive? Why ruin the moment?
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
Hideo Kojima is back with another mind-bending journey in Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, the highly anticipated sequel to his 2019 genre-defying hit. As always, Kojima pushes boundaries—this time changing parts of the game because playtesters were enjoying it too much. Only Kojima could think fun was a flaw—and somehow, we’re still here for it.
Set nearly a year after the events of the original game, you’ll once again step into the boots of Sam Bridges as he embarks on another emotionally charged quest to reconnect a fractured world and face an even more mysterious threat. With cryptic storytelling, stunning visuals, and deeply layered characters, On The Beach promises plenty of unexpected twists and hauntingly beautiful moments.
Spoilers are a real danger here, so we won’t say more—but if you’re a fan of narrative-driven adventures that blend sci-fi, philosophy, and the utterly bizarre, Death Stranding 2 is one of 2025’s must-play titles.
Mario Kart World
While some might crown Death Stranding 2 as their top pick, Mario Kart World races into the #1 spot for one undeniable reason: it’s the best-selling game of the month—and the flagship launch title for the wildly successful Nintendo Switch 2, which has been dominating sales charts since its June release.
Though the core racing formula remains familiar, Mario Kart World elevates the experience with massive, highly detailed tracks, dynamic environments, and a global twist that encourages exploration and experimentation. Every course is packed with shortcuts, hidden routes, and interactive elements that reward players who think outside the track.
