Opinion | 2025: A Year for Retro Gaming Over New Releases
January 26, 2025 - 06:50
As the gaming landscape evolves with the anticipated releases of major titles like GTA 6 and the Switch 2, I find myself increasingly drawn to the charm and nostalgia of retro games. While the allure of cutting-edge graphics and expansive open worlds is undeniable, there is something uniquely satisfying about revisiting the classics that shaped the gaming industry.
In 2025, I plan to fully embrace my passion for old-school gaming, immersing myself in pixelated adventures and 8-bit soundtracks. The simplicity and creativity of these games offer a refreshing contrast to the often overwhelming complexity of modern titles. Whether it’s reliving the challenges of platformers or strategizing in turn-based RPGs, I believe that these experiences foster a deeper connection to the artistry of game design.
The retro gaming community continues to thrive, with remastered versions and indie titles drawing inspiration from the past. As I step into this new year, I am ready to unapologetically celebrate the joy of retro gaming, proving that sometimes, the old ways are the best ways.
