New York Times Video Game Reviews, April 2025

The New York Times Arts section publishes criticism and reviews of video games, covering major and notable releases across consoles, PC, and mobile platforms.

NYT game reviews are written by staff critics and contributors who assess gameplay, design, narrative, and cultural relevance. The April 2025 roundup format groups shorter notices of several games into a single article, a format the Times uses regularly for books, film, and games. The Times has expanded its games coverage significantly in recent years, partly following its acquisition of Wordle and The Athletic.
