Best performing games released in December 2025

Unbeatable

Unbeatable, a game where a group of bands live in a contemporary Japan where music is banned. The band is not only trying hard to survive but also has its own personal agendas and battles to look out for. People love this one for its uniqueness and fresh storyline. The anime-themed video game also left its charm with its musical pieces, vibrant colors, and an emotional storyline. All these factors touched most of those who played it.

Game details: Released on 9th December 2025, Unbeatable received a review score of 8/10 and is available to play on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Kingdom of Night

A demon called Baphomet has accidently been summoned to a small desert town of Miami, Arizona by the satanic cult of the town. The protagonist, John, who battles demons, now has to battle Baphomet and save everyone, including himself. Players loved its retro theme of the 80s Miami, and the combination of cosmic horror with all its aesthetics.

Game details: Kingdom of Night was released on 2nd December 2025 and received a review score of 9/10. The game is available to play on PC via Steam.

Skate Story

Some games are designed to bring a thrill to the audience and Skate Story was surely one of them. The storyline where the protagonist had sold his soul to Satan. He now has to skateboard towards the moon to consume it and earn his freedom. But the journey has its own difficulties. That’s because you have to cross 9 levels of hell before you get to the moon. The thrill of high-speed skateboarding and bizarre landscapes with neon visuals add a lot more fun while playing this one.

Game details: Released on 8th December 2025, Skate Story received a review score of 9/10 and is available to play on PS5, Switch 2, and PC.

Worst performing games released in December 2025

Routine

As we have discussed earlier, if a game is anticipated for too long, gamers naturally have high expectations from it. And when those expectations are not met, no matter if the game was good enough. It still gets counted under bad games of the month or year. Similar happened with Routine, a long-awaited lunar survival horror. The game was not bad, but it just didn’t deliver results as expected.

Game details: Routine was released on 4th December 2025 and received 6.5/10 on the scorecard. The game is available to play on Xbox.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion

This beat ‘em up game is here not because it was the worst of them all but because Marvel Cosmic Invasion received mixed reviews from the audience. Some found it a fun co-op full of retro feels. Others found this one too short, repetitive, and lacks depth in the game and its characters. Making Marvel Cosmic Invasion falling under the disappointing games of December 2025.

Game details: Released on 1st December 2025, Marvel Cosmic Invasion received an overall review score of 7/10 and is available to play on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Average performing games released in December 2025

Apart from the best and disappointing December 2025 releases, there were multiple other games released in December 2025 that did quite well with audience reviews. The names include Blood: Refreshed Supply, Octopath Traveler 0, Toxic Crusaders, Montezuma’s Revenge, Mutant Football League 2, Rising Heat and Let It Die: Inferno.
All these games performed too well to put them in the worst games category. But they also didn’t do as well as the games in the list of best releases. Hence, you can consider some decent releases from the month of December 2025.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Rhythm Doctor are other December releases that did well but received slightly mixed reviews from the audience.
