    The best games of 2025
    Dec 26 2025

    It’s been a huge year for video games. Small developers are leading a renaissance of original ideas breaking through into the mainstream. They are going up against blockbuster franchises like Call of Duty – and winning.

    The 7am team debated adding “games” to our ‘best of’ features this year – but the numbers don’t lie. More than four out of five Australians game and the industry is at least three times the size of the film industry.

    Games can be so many things: high art, pop art – and pure dopamine. Sometimes all at once.

    Today, video games critic and tech journalist at the ABC, Rad Yeo, on her top five favourite games of the year.

    Kate Jinx watches hundreds of films every year – for her job programming feature films at the Melbourne International Film Festival, and, because she loves them.

    Today, she’s bringing you her five favourites from 2025.

    There’s Leonardo Dicaprio, of course. There’s also heists, collaborative theatre as film, PTSD but funny, and, there’s porridge.

It's extraordinary how often the 7am podcast finds an angle that every other outlet has missed, and which turns out to be CRUCIAL months or years later.

This podcast is strongly left wing and biased. It always paints Liberals in a bad light. Not worth it.
