The October spooky season might be over, but there’s one last jump-scare with the realization that 2025 is almost over. As we head into the endgame of the year, we’re also looking at a month full of big releases like a pair of exclusives for the Switch 2, mind-bending puzzle-adventures, and novel indies that put a new spin on familiar ideas.
