I would say that 2025 was an above-average year in gaming, and I was able to play some of the top releases from last year, as well as from 2024 that I missed. Here are my top ten video games I played in 2025 (for the first time), but first I have some honourable mentions.

Cultured Individual's Best of 2025

Another year is in the books, and I want to talk about the year that was 2025. 2025 was a good year for me, with me taking many smaller vacations and playing many great games this year. I think this is the first year where all my vacations were entirely within Canada. There was a bucket-list item I was able to cross off, and I was also able to find myself on both the west and east coasts of the country. Anyways, let us talk about it.

Quebec City Ghost Walk And Night Photos

As much as I enjoyed walking around Quebec City during the day, I am a night person at my core, and I want to see what the city is like during the night. On my first night in Quebec City, I booked myself on a ghost walk around the city. A ghost walk is a guided walking tour (usually in the night) in a city where the guide will share local spooky tales and legends. You would often be at the very locations where some of these stories took place. I went to Quebec City in late October, so going on this tour fits extremely well with Halloween.

Media Gallery: The Quebec Museum Of Fine Arts

I am not much of a fine arts person, or to rephrase, I am not someone who is not able to fully appreciate the vast majority of fine arts pieces. I know many fine arts pieces have a great deal of creativity and skill to create, but I hardly understand how that would speak to me, if that make sense. I went to the Quebec Museum of Fine Arts (known as the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec) to check out some fine arts pieces, but mostly to kill some time.

"The Most Photographed Hotel In The World" - The Château Frontenac

On the last day of my Quebec City trip, I was supposed to go for a tour of the Morrin Centre, which was formerly a prison, but now turned into a library and cultural centre. Unfortunately, the facility cancelled the tour for that day due to a private event, so I had to find something to do before I flew back home. As a backup, I signed up for a tour of the Château Frontenac. The Château Frontenac has the claim of being the most photographed hotel in the world due to its imposing, grand, castle-like (Châteauesque) design. The Château Frontenac stands out in the Quebec City skyline and it is a defining landmark for the city and the province.
