2025: The Best Year EVER for Gamer Girls!
OMG, fellow gamer girls, I have NEVER been this excited for a year in gaming! 2025 is absolutely stacked with amazing releases, re-releases, and next-gen consoles that will make our hearts burst with happiness! Whether you’re into visual novels, JRPGs, or cozy simulation games, this year has something magical for all of us! Let’s dive into why 2025 is shaping up to be the best year for us gamer girls!
Inzoi – The Life Sim of Our Dreams!
I CANNOT believe we are finally getting Inzoi! This is THE life simulation game I have been dreaming about! Developed by Krafton, Inzoi is going to take everything we love about life sims and make it hyper-realistic, deeply customizable, and totally immersive!
Why Inzoi is the Life Sim I’ve Always Wanted
I have spent countless hours playing The Sims 1, 2, 3, and 4, and own thousands of dollars worth of expansion packs, and while I adore them, I also spend way too much time hunting for DLC and mods just to make the base game look decent. The default Sims always feel a little too plain for me, and I need to make them beautiful! That means downloading custom content for hair, makeup, skin tones, furniture, and more—before I even start playing!
But with Inzoi, I won’t have to waste hours searching for the perfect CC. The Zois already look stunning right from the start, with gorgeous, realistic character designs and deep customization built in.
Release Date: March 28, 2025 (Early Access) Platforms: PC (Steam), Console versions planned later
Why We’re Excited:
- Ultra-realistic life simulation with unmatched detail
- Deep customization for careers, relationships, and daily life
- Canvas mod support allowing endless user-generated content
- Global Showcase on March 19, 2025, where all Early Access details, pricing, and final gameplay features will be revealed!
If you love games like The Sims, but always wished for more realism and depth, Inzoi is about to blow your mind! The big showcase is happening on March 19, 2025, and I CANNOT wait!

Ever17 & Never7 – The Return of Legendary Visual Novels!
My absolute FAVORITE visual novel of all time, Ever17: The Out of Infinity, is coming back in 2025!! Along with Never7: The End of Infinity, these classic stories are being remastered for modern consoles! If you love deep, emotional narratives with mind-blowing twists and unforgettable characters, then you NEED to play these!
Ever17: The Out of Infinity is my favorite visual novel because of how brilliantly it plays with the player’s perception. What starts as a gripping mystery about a group trapped in an underwater theme park slowly morphs into something much bigger, something that completely redefines the story you thought you were experiencing. It’s a game that requires patience, but once the pieces fall into place, the payoff is absolutely mind-blowing.

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC
Price: $29.99 (Ever17), $19.99 (Never7), or $44.99 for both!

Lunar Remastered Collection – Nostalgia Overload!
If you’ve never played Lunar: Silver Star Story or Lunar: Eternal Blue, then GIRL, you are in for a magical adventure! These legendary RPGs are finally getting remastered, and I cannot WAIT to experience them with modern visuals and sound!
Release Date: April 18, 2025
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PC
Why We’re Excited:
Lunar: Eternal Blue has been my favorite JRPG of all time for as long as I can remember. There’s something truly special about its story, characters, and world that no other game has ever quite captured for me. The emotional depth, the romance, and the grand adventure all come together in a way that makes it feel timeless. The bond between Hiro and Lucia is one of the most heartfelt love stories in gaming, and their journey together is filled with so many highs and lows that I still get emotional just thinking about it. Unlike many RPGs that focus on a hero saving the world with a predictable arc, Eternal Blue tells a deeply personal story about trust, sacrifice, and the fear of being alone. Lucia’s struggle to understand humanity and Hiro’s unwavering devotion to her create some of the most powerful moments I’ve ever experienced in a game.
The game’s atmosphere is another reason why it remains unbeatable for me. From the gorgeous 2D spritework to the unforgettable anime cutscenes and fully voiced dialogue, Eternal Blue felt like playing through a living, breathing anime long before that became a common trend in JRPGs. The world is vast, colorful, and full of life, making every town and dungeon feel unique and rich with personality. The music is also something that has stayed with me over the years—every track, from the emotional ballads to the adventurous overworld themes, perfectly captures the tone of the story. The battle system, while simple compared to modern RPGs, is incredibly fun, and I love how it encourages strategic positioning rather than just mindless turn-based combat.
More than anything, though, Lunar: Eternal Blue has stuck with me because of how much heart it has. It’s one of those rare games where you can feel the passion behind every piece of dialogue, every beautifully animated scene, and every emotional moment. Even after all these years, I still find myself coming back to it, replaying it, and rediscovering why it meant so much to me in the first place. While there are many incredible RPGs out there, nothing has ever quite recaptured the magic of Eternal Blue for me. It’s a game that reminds me why I fell in love with JRPGs in the first place, and no matter how much time passes, it will always be my favorite.
- Timeless story of love, adventure, and dreams!
- Gorgeous anime-style artwork!
- One of the BEST RPG soundtracks EVER!
