Top ten games I played in 2025
#10 Minishoot Adventures This is basically a 2D Zelda game in the shape of a twin-stick shooter. There's an overworld full of secrets, caves with heart pieces, lock and key dungeons that culminate in a boss fight, and in said dungeons you find a new item halfway through that lets you explore the remainder of the dungeon and lets you push out further in the overworld afterwards. For me this game scratched an itch that the actual Zelda series hasn't for a long time, and that's not just because it borrows the structure of 2D Zelda, but because the game is genuinely good and excels at all the things a good 2D Zelda needs to. The map design is great and is constantly rewarding you for your exploration with power-ups and points of interest that you make a mental note of coming back to later when you've acquired the appropriate item. It was very addictive and I basically didn't stop playing this game once I picked it up. I'm not particularly big on bullet hell gamep...
