March 2025 was another awesome month for video game releases. What makes this month unique is a lot of the biggest releases weren’t loved by our reviewers. The main theme of March’s Bad section, is that a lot of retro releases haven’t aged well. Many of these games play well for those with nostalgia goggles, but struggle to connect with newcomers.
April 2025 is not a great month for video game releases. There are some great games, but it’s a slower month by modern release standards. Half of the games in this article are former exclusives going to new consoles.
February was a great month for video game releases. An overwhelming number of COGconnected’s reviews scored in the 80-85 range.
March 2025 is a really interesting month for video game releases. There are several major series getting games which have new franchise entries every year or so. But our top 2 games are JRPGs that players have been wanting for many, many years.
3 Up, 3 Down was missing in December, but it’s back for January 2025, combining the last two months. We did this because there weren’t that many video game releases in December 2024. But most of the games covered in this article are from December anyways, because the majority of January’s releases scored in the 70-85 range.
February 2025 is great month for video game releases, but, to be honest, it doesn’t seem as crazy as the last few Februarys. They were some of the best months of the last few years, which were all phenomenal years in terms of quality games.
January 2025 is a very packed month for video game releases. This is the most exciting January I can think of, maybe ever. There are tons of remasters, and our runners-up this month are both PC ports of PS5 exclusives.
When looking at 2024’s most disappointing video games, they’re mostly big budget titles. A lot of them are from developers with quality pedigree. Some are from established franchises. What’s curious about this list is that a lot of these games reviewed well.
November 2024 was a very similar month to October 2024, in terms of game release quality. There were lots of high profile games. The biggest titles of the month scored in the 75-85 range. And it was difficult to make a Bad section, because there were few games that scored poorly.
December 2024 has pretty slim pickin’s for video game releases. Because of the holidays, there are almost none in the second half of the month. But a few of December’s games are really anticipated.
