The annual game developer conference is always an exciting place to check new and exciting games. Many heavy hunger people may not have AAA like a summer game festival, but the events and dates surrounding this conference, which focuses on developers, historically includes our games that we liked, like viewfinderand VenbaAnd Good.
This year, I attended the first GDC and played a lot of promising games there. The last two years have been harsh for the video game industry, and things may get worse before they improve. Nevertheless, I renewed everything I played in GDC 2025 my confidence that there are many enthusiastic developers working on amazing games that deserve our unpopular attention. These nine games have emerged enough in particular to prepare the list of the best games we played in GDC 2025.
Fire blades
Fire blades It was definitely the biggest surprise for GDC 2025 for me, as this new project is my developer Metroid Dread Far from the model action game. While elements of games like Dark souls and Honor It can be seen here, a small taste Fire blades Falsification of weapons and directional fighting caught my attention. I had to be very intended with how weapons were forged, I chose to fight enemies, and I have a way that I did not feel with the movement for a long time. I always cherish it when you are not afraid of games in the devastating types of bold fluctuations, and Fire blades Is this in the world of the original imagination that I already yearn.
Fire blades Lesteries for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on May 22.
Clawpunk
While I am not a cat, like games like Bubsy in: The Purify Colliness and Clawpunk Ensure that I got their fullness at GDC 2025. Clawpunk It is the movement of the movement of movement where players in cats control special capabilities and fight through the levels of the sizes of the sting, very destroyed. It was easy to pick up and play in the middle of a crowded conference, and I left I wanted to play more after I had to put the console. Games like A little stray to the leftEven this stranger reveals the awards of the game Catley I showed that there is a great demand for the games you control. Clawpunk He can be ready to succeed if he can tempt this crowd to deal with this boundary work adventure.
Clawpunk It is in the development of a personal computer.

To t
To T. It is a new game of Katamari Damacey Creator Keita Takahashi, and it was very great when I played in GDC 2025. It is a gentle small adventure game for a young child who cannot get out of the shape of “T”, and players control them while they are doing daily life and do things like preparing for school. It is a strange, strange experience, but it is also clear that it will eventually be woven to be a game with a message about the positivity of the body, with the repetition of the “You are the ideal” line constantly in the main appearance song of the game. Yes, she has a major topic.
To t It is launched on May 28 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Remain
Owlcat games make a name for themselves in the CRPG space not only by developing games like Warhammer 40,00: Rogue Trader But also by publishing other promising CRPGs like Roy Valley and Remain. I have reviewed Remain In an independent event through GDC, its choice to adopt the feudal and legendary history in Japan makes it stand out compared to most modern RPG. The fighting -based fighting also seems a lot of fun, as there are many strategies that must be developed with units mode and adjust the arrangement of rotation in your favor. CRPGS in fashion again follow -up The role of the role 3, Owlcat games seem eager to take advantage of this through titles such as Remain.
Alpha is open to Remain Available on the computer.
Barcelona Hotel
Suda 51 and Swery’s Barcelona Hotel I felt as if it were the Roguelike game that works directly to some extent when I started playing it in GDC for the first time, albeit with an unforgettable aesthetic inspired by horror movies. Then she died, and revealed the real clouds itself. With each new set of level, players fight along with their previous lives. This provides an elegant visual effect and opens new narrative opportunities as their attacks still harm enemies. Add in the strange taste that comes with these floors developers, such as randomly spawning more than usual during one run, and Barcelona Hotel It provides a very creative rotation on the well destroyed Roguelke format.
Barcelona Hotel PCs, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S this year.
Mandragora: Witch tree whispers
If you are a fan of 2D Soulslkes, Mandragora: Witch tree whispers You should be on your radar. It translates into Software systematic fighting experience known as two -dimensional coordination and looks great while doing so. Mandrara The appearance covered with boredom is very beautiful, and a lot of delightful and useful magic attacks benefit from that complete. The Primal Game Studios developer is that the game will be more than 40 hours and includes a new game+ in the version, so Mandrara You will offer a large group of lives to sink your teeth.
Mandragora: Witch tree whispers PCs, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on April 17.
Delta missile driving
Among all the recent reactionary imagination in Atari, I did not draw attention on the way Delta missile driving He has. While there is no narration that can be talked about in classicism Rocket command, Delta Recalm this classic game in a game -based game that mixes the exploration of the first person with the solution of the puzzles with a rotating tactical fighting. I remind me of the first personal exploration with games like witness and American ArcadiaWhile her difficult tactical battles reminded me of classics like In the breach. Given that the developers Mighty Yel and 13 AM have a busy record in Indie Studios, I have great expectations for the missile driving delta when finally released.
Delta missile driving It will be released for PC, PS5 and Nintendo Switch in 2025.
Hurd
This game from Far: alone sails The developer Okomotive is the next independent next to a trip crown. Hurd Players see a growing number of animals in the countryside of the countryside surrounding a beautiful horrific city. While grazing animals controlled from the back a little bit, they finally fell Hurling The rhythm came to enjoy the beautiful and calm moments that appeared when it wanders all over the countryside with the wild animals that I named and liberated from that bleak city. Such as classic heratgamecompany a tripKnowing the place of going to a large extent, and the journey immediately started to feel the same importance as the destination.
Hurd The PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are launched at some point this summer.
Pathfinder: Effect
Classic table game Pathfinder He has attracted the attention he deserves from the video game space more than ever in recent years. Pathfinder: Effect It is the latest example, as the RPG experience offers a movement that does not only remind me of Diablo, but the classic ARPGS is the hero -based Arpgs in which you grew up, like Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Pathfinder: Effect It will provide a direct fun similar to Diablo on a popular basis Pathfinder Adventure path. It will support the sofa cooperative as well, rarely rare now Pathfinder a fan.
