Engadget's favorite games of 2025

I'm genuinely shocked by how much I love ARC Raiders. I've never been very interested in the whole PvE (Player vs. Environment) genre, aside from some brief stints with Destiny, but ARC Raiders's sci-fi post-apocalyptic vibe just works for me. I love the Blade Runner/anime-like aesthetic of its environments, enemies and outfits. I'm a sucker for its synthy soundtrack and immersive soundscape.
