In a year completely stacked with incredible games, we are delighted to have been ranked number 6 in Rolling Stone's 25 Best Video Games of 2025. 💙

We’ll echo this and also suggest considering Strange Jigsaws, Spooky Express, and Type Help, and for strategy thinky games: Dog Witch, and Star⭐vaders! (highly recommend all these games if you haven’t tried them!)

It’s been a real good year for Thinky Games!

Two Blue Prince interviews, seven months apart (Tonda Ros) Chatting with the director of Blue Prince before its release... and again, before The Game Awards

I interviewed the creator of Blue Prince days before the game's release about his modest expectations for the indie puzzler.

And then I interviewed him again, last week, ahead of The Game Awards, about how a hit game does and doesn't change your life.

The nominations for the Steam Awards close tomorrow, 1 December 2025.

Don't miss your chance to nominate your favorite games of 2025 in a number of categories.

#5 - Blue Prince [92] is a Metacritic Must-Play

A screenshot of a meal from Blue Prince. Dinner is served. Today's main course Stuffed Wild Quail. Local Mt. Holly delicacy. Served atop a plum aigre-doux with roasted potatoes, bacon lardons and wild chives. +20 steps plus an additional 10 steps if you have a Trophy Room in your house.

We're thankful to everyone who's played our game and shared it with friends and family! #enjoyathanksgiving
