Gamescom 2025 was quite the experience. It was the year that we finally got concrete release dates for the long-awaited Hollow Knight Silksong and Bloodlines 2, and the year that World of Warcraft added player housing. In many ways, it felt like the show in which myriad gaming ‘loose ends’ were at last tied up, presumably to dodge the specter of GTA 6, but who cares? We won as a result. While you all watched Opening Night Live from the comfort of your homes - likely judging Geoff Keighley’s thoroughly mid shoes - myself and Jamie, two of PCGN’s intrepid newshounds, were running around previewing games and taking names (literally, there were a lot of interviews). After three days of chaos, camaraderie, and a lot of coffee, here are their top six games of Gamescom, and they couldn’t be more different.
