My personal game of the year for 2025, I will always be biased towards passion projects with a cool idea I've never seen before in a game.

Studio System : Guardian Angel plays like a classic Silent Hill game, fixed camera and tank controls included. The game comes with a unique twist, you can control the angle the fixed camera is pointing at to either move objects or shoot enemies. Becky's combat abilities are intentionally weak, fighting enemies with melee attacks will always result in you taking damage. Like its inspirations, Studio System loves resource management and you have to consider whether you should spent health to attack enemies with melee, or bullets to shoot at enemies to kill them quicker and safer. It's a classic formula with an incredibly cool twist that I'm a huge fan of.

The game's visual style is charming and special, the story is well written and thoroughly enhanced by the developer's strong understanding of using gameplay to enhance the storytelling, and the sound design keeps the experience tense and unnerving. For what I love about this medium and look for in a game, Studio System was a critical hit I never could've seen coming.
