Personal Picks from the PC Gamer Team
In a delightful twist on the traditional Game of the Year Awards 2025, the PC Gamer team is taking a moment to share their personal favorites from the gaming landscape this year. Each day throughout the month, a new spotlight will shine on a game that has captured the hearts of our team members, inviting readers to explore these unique selections.
One standout recommendation comes from the whimsical world of Keep Diving, a road trip RPG that redefines the concept of friendship on the open road. The game playfully suggests that “a hitchhiker is just a friend you haven’t met who might have weed,” a humorous nod to the unexpected connections that can form during adventures.
Reflecting on personal experiences, one reviewer recalls their own journey of freedom, reminiscent of their youth spent in a small American town devoid of public transportation. The thrill of independence first came with the acquisition of a well-loved, secondhand green Plymouth Horizon hatchback. This vehicle symbolized more than just transportation; it was a gateway to exploration, spontaneity, and the joy of hitting the road without a specific destination in mind. With music blasting and a map only occasionally consulted, the journey was as much about the experience as it was about the destination—complete with the essential stops for gas and snacks.
As the month unfolds, readers are encouraged to join in on the excitement of discovering these personal picks, each reflecting a unique perspective on the gaming world. With a special offer of 25% off until January 5, there’s no better time to dive into these adventures, embrace the vibes, and perhaps even pick up a few unexpected friends along the way.
