The year’s about to end, so it’s time to see how I/we spent the year 2025 in terms of computer games according to my Steam account. For a few more insights and game reviews/recommendations, check out my games page.
And here’s my 2024 review …
Caravan SandWitch is a relaxing, calm and enjoyable open world-adventure where one has to guide main character Sauge through a post-apocalyptic world on her quest to find her missing sister, Garance.
If you are in need to solve some not-too-hard puzzles walking and driving around in a beautifully designed and peaceful (you cannot die in the game) animated world, then this is your game … enjoy (I did)!

What the Car? is – just like its older sibling ‘What the Golf?‘ – is simply hilarious (and I repeat myself on purpose). In some cases even ridiculous, yet extreme fun to play (I think).
In its core a racing game, one has to steer a wide variety of ‘cars’ through mazes and landscapes to beat the time and find hidden items on (almost) all tracks.
Once again, definitely a recommendation for a some entertaining minutes (or hours, if you’re after achievements) in between. Enjoy …

El Hijo – A Wild West Tale [German] is an isometric-view, real-time tactics stealth game, especially suited for kids, where you have to help a little boy to find his mother unseen by various opponents/villains.
It’s been a fun little distraction/adventure .. to calm down after/between nerve-wrecking platformers ;)

Hollow Knight is a beautiful and, in parts, ridiculously hard 2D platform action-adventure game in which players must guide the main character, the Knight, through a maze of underground worlds and districts, fighting numerous bosses along the way.
The game is extremely captivating and addictive, but also frustrating at times due to the high number of failures. It also brought back nice memories of the Ori games as well as Unbound: Worlds Apart. I’m not sure how to achieve things like finishing the game in under five hours, given that it took me over fifty hours to explore everything.
Anyway, I loved playing the game and I’m looking forward to playing part two at some point.
