Splash banner for video games are good, features the colors white, yellow, and red. The V in video is in the shape of a thumbs up. The white in the top portion of the banner floats upward and away, like a lava lamp.

The key art for Consume Me, with an overlaid badge with salmon pink text framed by light blue laurels honoring it as VGG's 2025 Game of the Year winner. The game title and main character Jenny sit inside a red oval with a yellow border. Jenny is a teen girl drawn in a cute chibi style, and she winks and holds a big piece of toast in both hands. Behind the title there's a darkened, slightly obscured background with Jenny's face inside various fruits and berries.

ANNOUNCING: Consume Me is Video Games are Good's 2025 Game of the Year

Congratulations to Consume Me, VGG's 2025 Game of the Year winner. Equal parts strategic, chaotic, funny, hopeful, and tear-jerking, its ingredients come together to make something well-balanced and soul-nourishing that we were grateful we got the chance to consume.
