Vote for GRIND Game of the Year – 2025!

Tudor Sprînceană · · 1 min read

The ultimate award for the games that ate our time, our nerves and our nights, because they were awesome, obviously!

If on 11 December the entire gaming planet holds its breath for The Game Awards, we, at GRIND magazine, decided we couldn't just sit on the sidelines with popcorn in hand and wait for Geoff Keighley's verdict like mere spectators. No, no. We have something to say too! And because we don't like doing things by halves, we invented our own mini-digital festival to celebrate the games that made our year more beautiful, more intense and, in some cases, considerably more sleepless.

That's how GRIND of the Year was born, the event where we combine the ultra-informed (and only slightly subjective) opinion of GRIND editors with the voice of the general public, meaning you, who know all too well what a "just 10 minutes" gaming session that ends at 3 AM looks like.

We will vote, we will discuss passionately, we will argue amicably and, most importantly, we will try to discover together which game deserves the supreme title. We don't promise lavish ceremonies or Oscar speeches, but we guarantee passion, humour and some bad jokes about microtransactions.

So, get ready: GotY is coming to crown the games that defined 2025, whether we're talking about narrative masterpieces, crazy multiplayer experiences, or indies that broke us emotionally, financially… or both. We will display the results on 10 December.

Let the GRIND begin!
