There are a couple downsides with abilities, though. Previously Focus Training slots (additional slots to individually train players beyond normal practice) were unlocked forever once you purchased them. Now, you have to unlock (and level) an ability, and then equip it, leaving you one less slot for game day. That’s fine, but the issue is that the ability doesn’t kick in until the following week, which is lousy. I’m a player development guy; that’s an ability I’d personally never take off, and having to wait a week for it means that once it expires and I reup it, I’m missing out on half my Focus slots for that week. That will happen a few times over a season, and it adds up.

Bigger than it first appears, Avowed is an engrossing and gorgeous action-RPG set in one of the most engaging fantasy worlds going, though it lacks the complex systems of its most beloved contemporaries.

I was a fan of all of this stuff in College Football (minus parts of Wear and Tear; more on that later, I promise), and it all works well here, too. All that plus the abilities to throw back shoulder passes and pylon passes if you’ve opted into Revamped Passing (which grew on me so much over Madden 25’s life that it’s now my preferred way to play) is a godsend. Unlike sites that let author biases influence their ranking of a game’s quality, this site separates its reviews into two scores. One scores the game technically on its gameplay, controls, and other qualities. The other scores the morality of the game, based on factors like language, sexual content, and similar.

It promised improvements and changes I have wanted for years, and, well… they are all here. This is simply a straight up better game than Madden 25, both on the field and off of it. There’s still room for improvement – there always is – but it’s hard to overstate what a leap this feels like in terms of presentation, the in-game action, and Franchise as a mode. There’s more to do for Superstar, and MUT is MUT, but this is a big step forward for Madden overall. As for the other stuff, well… there’s always next year, right?

But it’s not just simply a beefy expansion with loads of content. The world of Elden Ring is rich with lore and the story Shadow of the Erdtree tells adds new layers to that rich text. This expansion is so big it practically feels like a sequel.

And now, with the arrival of the remake on PS5, you have over … 2025 is shaping up to be an auspicious year for gaming.

However, don’t forget that there are tons of resources online to read user-created reviews too. Since opinions on games are subjective, you might prefer to read several reviews from everyday players in addition to, or instead of, professional articles. Additionally, for many gaming sites, the focus has shifted away from reviewing games based primarily on their gameplay and quality. Now, some sites emphasize social and political issues above all else, or even have authors who treat some articles like their personal blog. Other gaming sites have branched out to cover other forms of entertainment (like movies, TV, and music) to the detriment of their gaming coverage. 2024 was another banner year for video games thanks to a slate of big releases, strong remakes, and surprising hits.
