The top Canadian games of 2025 When it comes to variety and originality, few do it as well as Canadian developers.

Couldn't let the year end without one of my favourite features.
I wrote about a bunch of the standout Canadian games of 2025. 🇨🇦 🎮
In a particularly difficult year, it's been genuinely inspiring to see Canadians making so many wonderful and creative experiences.
Here's to all of these talented devs!

Thank you everyone who came by our booth at Toronto Games Expo, and thank you @corvianmarketing.bsky.social for taking us there!

Missile Command Delta Revisits True Tension 45 Years Later Atari teamed up with other developers to make something that feels both nothing and everything like the Cold War anxiety that spawned an arcade classic.

Simple but engaging puzzles! Good atmosphere! A reimagining of concepts without being bound by mechanics! Cool trans rep!

Missile Command Delta ended up being just a good time I blasted through.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it that much! ❤️🚀

Coop Bowhemoth is best Bowhemoth!

Thanks, Emma!

Amazing to hear that our humble game had that much influence. Hope it can still bring lots of fun in the future!

You should pair that with some matching music

Thanks so much, Mashi! 😉

Thank you, Zenox!

🤘

Excited to see what you've been up to at Komi when it's finally revealed!

We'd love to if we ever have the money for it, and we often talk about it, but it's currently not in the works!

An important game in my life. It not only brought my friends and siblings together for hilarious and fun couch co-op sessions, but this game existing kick-started a series of events that led to me meeting some of the most important people in my life.

I am forever grateful to Runbow and 13am Games.

10 years! Gosh!

So crazy that it's been 10 years already!
It feels surreal in many ways! i'm super proud of the team and the game!

I'm super grateful to everyone who helped us out in the many ways we got supported, and for all the doors that were opened to us from it 🙏

Here's to many more years and games! 🤘

Our baby that started it all, Runbow, turns 10 years old today! Can you believe it?

First a Wii U exclusive(!) and now available on pretty much every platform, Runbow has run a long way.

Share your favourite Runbow memories with us!

Played through all of @mightyyell.bsky.social 's‬ Missile Command Delta...

I didn't intend to play it all in one sitting but the loop of exploring and doing missile defenses hooked me good. I also did not expect how... neat... the true ending would be.

8/10 solid game, would recommend.

Had a really great chance ti talk to Missile Command Delta director Dave Proctor - on reimagining the series as a tactical game, playing into Cold War paranoia, and the reality of authoritarianism. Very happy with this one. www.inverse.com/gaming/missi...

Leveled up twice on @atari.com's Yars Rising (a solid game, honestly, though the GenZ dialogue bugs me), and made it to the 3rd battle sequence in Missile Command Delta! Every time I sit down with MCD, I love it more. It may end up being my "game of the year" for 2025! Everyone should try it!

Thank you, Mashi!

New game day! We teamed up with @mightyyell.bsky.social and @13amgames.com to take @atari.com’s classic Missile Command and turn it into a turn-based strategy game wrapped in a first person exploration/visual novel! It’s really cool, lots of puzzle variety and dialogue choices, go check it out!

45 Years Later, A Classic Atari Series Just Got A Bold Reimaging Missile Command Delta is a subtly ingenious reimagination of one of the all-time great arcade game experiences.

Hey, so, Missile Command Delta is kind of a low-key ingenious reimagining. A paranoia-ridden narrative focus mixed with a genuinely fantastic tactical take on the arcade game. It has some issues, but I'm legitimately blown away by how smart his game feels. www.inverse.com/gaming/missi...

Missile Command Delta Review - Review

Missile Command Delta is a really neat game that works well because of how it mixes the turn-based Missile Command-y bits, the weird mysterious narrative, and the cool escape room-y puzzles.

(also I love seeing the Runbow dudes keep making cool stuff)
