Animal Well
Play it on: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch
Current goal: See what all the fuss was about
2025 has just begun and there’s not a lot new to play yet. So if I can pry myself away from Marvel Rivals’ Season 1 this weekend, I want to go back and play some of the things I missed in 2024. I still don’t really know Animal Well’s deal, but I do know it ranked pretty high on our Game of the Year list thanks to the passion of those who liked it here at Kotaku. I know it’s a Metroidvania and has some spooky vibes to it, but that’s about as far as my knowledge goes. I haven’t booted up my Switch nearly enough in recent months, so now is the time for me to do so and find out what I’ve been missing. — Kenneth Shepard
