IGN's Logan Plant awarded Donkey Kong Bananza a full 10/10 'Masterpiece' rating, calling it 'a truly groundbreaking 3D platformer.' Eurogamer's Alex Donaldson was a little more mixed, saying, 'When it smashes, DK really smashes.'

Nintendo's first big single-player adventure for the new hardware sounds like the GOTY-contender Donkey Kong sequel fans have been waiting for.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has emerged as a strong contender for 2025’s Game of the Year, boasting excellent reviews and fitting the successful genre criteria.

According to Balatro's publisher, Playstack, the 5 million mark doesn't include downloads from Apple Arcade, highlighting the game's broad appeal across platforms.

Throughout the years, GameSpot has handed the Game of the Year award to a variety of fantastic games, including iconic titles that revolutionized the medium.
