welcome to my round up of 2025 media! this is a review of everything i watched, played, read and listened to over the course of the year! i like data and tracking things, so...

THE NUMBERS

this year, i logged a total of 95 items!
of these, a total of 34 were repeats of something i've seen before - that's 36%!

to break it down...

xx watched 48 movies & tv shows!
xx read 27 books!
xx played 30 games! but only finished & logged 19.
xx listened to 2 radio dramas!

there is an average of 7 items logged per month - except for September, where 19 items were logged! mostly books.

stats from: tvtime, storygraph, steam replay & spotify.

THE DETAILS

my top genres were horror, drama, and crime! horror took the top genre by over double of second place - 26 horror items logged compared to 11 drama items logged.

most common movie & tv genre was horror. the longest consecutive series i watched was AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, which took me 23 days to get through!

most common game genre was RPGs. i spent the most time playing STARDEW VALLEY, which accounted for 15% of my play time this year! PATHOLOGIC CLASSIC was a very close second at 12%.

most common book genres were horror & crime fiction, but i spent the most time reading the SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT series, which quite frankly, is neither of those things. it took me 19 days to get through the original books. currently working through the new ones!

the newest item logged this year was FRANKENSTEIN, logged on Oct 17 - release day!
the oldest item logged this year was WAR OF THE WORLDS, logged on Nov 05, released in 1938! that's 87 years slightly too late.

FAVES OF THE YEAR

BOOK: SOLARIS (1961)
• sci-fi

i re-read a lot of books this year, but this was one of the first and very few books i read for the first time this year! it stood out to me because i really love this exact kind of scifi; the cold war era space race tech, the casette futurism feel, that very STAR TREK feel, y'know? conceptually, i very much enjoyed the scifi in this book as well - an alien planet covered in hostile, sentient ocean is just delightful. this little book really surprised me and stuck with me all year!

GAME: PATHOLOGIC 2 (2019)
• survival horror

no brainer for my fav game of the year. i JUST scraped a finish before the end of the year, and it was very easily my favourite. i spent A LOT of time with the PATHOLOGIC game series this year and just fell so in love with the worldbuilding in this second game, i found it built off the first game beautifully and fleshed out what i felt was missing in terms of story. it's a struggle of a game but i truly enjoyed every moment of it that i played - i could ramble all day about it, and you can see what i have to say in the above link if you like! pleaseplaythesegames

MOVIE: WAKE UP DEAD MAN (2025)
• mystery, comedy

i just really honestly did love this movie. i dont know if it's just because this is one of those movie series my friends and i love to sit down and enjoy together or what. i love KNIVES OUT, this one really did give me that wonderful magical feeling back that i got when watching the initial movie. i have my qualms with it, but it deserves fave movie of the year purely because i was really, really looking forward to it and i have been disappointed so many times this year by movies, but this one pulled through! i have watched it 3 times since it's release. i feel normal about it.

AUDIO: UNKNOWN 9: OUT OF SIGHT (2020)
• paranormal, mystery

this podcast absolutely fucking rules dude. also didn't finish this entirely this year since i only found it at the end of the year, but started making my way through it. underrated paranormal GEM!!! insane production quality, think it ties into a AAA game that flopped but that's not necessary to understand the show.
