The thinking man's best-of list

George Takei tweeting in 2017 be like:

I’ve spent 30 hours grappling in WWE 2K26 and it's the best wrestling paired with the worst monetization WWE 2K26 has the best grappling and action going in video game wrestling but the monetization remains intrusive and a drawback

I wish I had better things to say about WWE 2K26. It's still an improvement over last year on the game front, but the Battle Pass feels like an added layer of nickel and diming on top of an already money-first franchise

Hello everyone. I come with the sad news that as you are no doubt already aware, we're saying goodbye to several of our friends and colleagues here at Eurogamer. Leaving us are Tom Orry, our editorial director; our video team of Ian Higton, Zoe Delahunty-Light, and Alix Attenborough; Alex Donaldson, our editor-at-large; and Will Judd, who worked across Digital Foundry, hardware and deals. I'll start with Tom, who over the past year-plus had made himself a hugely valuable source of advice, expertise, desert-dry humour and world class poker faces (I think we just about made him laugh once, for a moment, on his final day). Tom initially began the role when Tom Phillips was our editor-in-chief here, mostly working away diligently in the background in a two-Tom-tandem doing editorial director things, before taking on a more prominent role on the site itself over the past 11 or 12 months, gracing us with some signature console nostalgia and unjustifiably intense Project Gotham Racing enthusiasm. Tom, Dom, Alex and I, along with the rest of the team, worked together closely on what a 'new Eurogamer' might look like last year, and his experience in running multiple games media sites was consistently our rock to lean on. While he may have initially seemed an outsider of sorts compared to Eurogamer chiefs of old - at least to some on the surface, coming from his 20-plus years across our sister sites VG247 and USGamer, and before that the cult-favourite site he founded in our once-rival VideoGamer - I can't stress enough how much Tom 'got' Eurogamer. His goal was for us to be at the heart of the big stories that mattered most to our readers with original, diligent reporting and on-the-button commentary, and that will absolutely continue. In immaculately on-brand, limelight-dodging Orry style, Tom opted to sneak his farewell into this past weekend's What We've Been Playing column, but I'll be damned if he gets away with it that easily. Sorry Tom. Here's what he had to say…

From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).💙

Scott Pilgrim EX has best-in-class brawler movesets, looks gorgeous, and once again has a banger soundtrack.

But the quest design is so fetch quest heavy that it hinders what should be an all-time brawler with tedium

Sorry to hear it, huge loss for them.

Extremely gutted, excited to see what's next though!

Don't know if this is a wild take or anything but despite playing most of them I really don't remember much Resi music aside from save rooms, a couple of the vocal themes, and Director's Cut mansion basement

They love car flicks. Mainly for the editing. I remember Ford Vs Ferrari sticking out the year that was in (good movie but it's no The Lighthouse or Knives Out)

Everyone expecting Jericho only for the fed to do a Danhausen dance number that led to nothing is the best thing that's happened in wrestling for a good bit

Cant sleep on the couch if we can't get to it

First night in our new house and I've managed to lock us in the bedroom because I forgot it didn't have a doorknob

Wonder if FromSoft took all that chat about the Demon's Souls remake's art direction personally

Thinking about the sad person out there who decided to play that 2D GoW game instead of Ninja Gaiden Ragebound or Shinobi Art of Vengeance.

Her last scene before the Raccoon City portion of the game is something else (typa shit that wouldve been shown in the best actress reel at the oscars)

She fucking GOES for it

Gutted to hear it Tom, wishing you all the best!

Actually looks AI generated lmao

Looks fucking gorgeous on the Pro tbf. The opening scene in the streets was breathtaking stuff

Massive loss. Gutted to see you go, but ultimately RPGSites gain in the long run!

What the helly

Balatro is top 5 for sure.

Mewgenics definitely has a chance of taking the spot too

Pizza Tower is the best indie game of the 2020s

I'M FED UP WITH THIS WORLD!

This will be graphics in 2015
