Cast Your Vote for the Best New Game of April 2025 – PlayStation.Blog

Man, last month was a whirlwind in the gaming world! We had some massive hits, those quirky indie gems, and a few games that really caught us off guard. So, which one grabbed your attention? For me, it was a toss-up. We had heavy hitters like Blue Prince, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Forever Skies, and oh, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. That last one hit me right in the nostalgia.

Okay, so here’s how things roll. At the end of each month, PlayStation Blog drops a poll. You dive in and cast your vote for the top new game that month. Then, boom — after the dust settles, they count it all up and reveal the big winner on their social channels and PlayStation.Blog. I don’t know why, but it always feels like election night to me. But with games.

Now — how do you choose? I mean, that part’s wild. You get to pick based on whatever grabs you. If you could only tell your best buddy to grab one game you think is top-notch, which one would it be? Oh, and just to clarify, re-releases are outta the picture. But remakes? Those are fair game. We’re talking the epic makeovers like Resident Evil 4 (2023) or Final Fantasy VII Remake. Major overhauls, you know?

Curious how they figure out who makes it to the nominees list? The PlayStation Blog editorial team swoops in, cherry-picking that month’s standout releases, and uses that as the poll starting point. Pretty sure they’ve got a tough job. Anyway — wait, where was I? Right, these polls are like the final showdown for games every month. Hoping my fave pulls through!
