Well, new month – new list. If you’ve been with us for long enough you’d know our schtick, every month, a top 3 games list where we recommend/ask you to try out our faves or the current industry faves. Usually it’s a biased take that combines both but hey, at least we don’t lie. Lmao

So buckle up, (God knows how many times I’ve used this same fuckass intro) and get ready to dive deep into this month’s delights!

November is stacked with big releases that cater to wildly different tastes. Whether you want sprawling economic sims, pure adrenaline FPS action, or obsessive football management, this month has something to chew on. Below are our three must-play picks for November 2025, with what to expect, which platforms they run on, first impressions from players and critics, and why you might want to grab them from Gamers-Outlet.net for the best deals on CD keys hehe (HEY I AM PAID TO WRITE THESE OK)

Anno 117: Pax Romana

Release date and platforms
Anno 117: Pax Romana launches on 13th November 2025 on PC and the usual storefronts.

Why it matters
Anno 117 returns the long-running strategy series to its strategic roots while dialing into a distinct historical spin. Instead of the industrial age focus a lot of players are used to, Pax Romana throws players into a late antiquity world where politics, trade routes, and local influence matter as much as raw production chains. The game blends deep city planning with diplomacy and economy in ways that reward patience and long-term thinking. Fans of methodical strategy will find the pacing and systems intoxicating.

Gameplay and first impressions
Players are trading off building sprawling, interconnected cities against the realities of limited resources, shifting trade winds, and political pressure from rival powers. The crafting and logistics loops feel familiar if you have played previous Anno entries, but Pax Romana refines the user interface and gives more meaningful mid-game goals so there is less of that endless busywork feeling. Reviewers and early adopters praise the world building systems and the satisfying feedback loop when your trade networks click into place. The diplomacy systems and seasonal events add a layer of unpredictability that keeps long campaigns interesting.

Why get it
If you love methodical strategy, wallet-friendly time sinks, and a slow-burn satisfaction from seeing a city flourish, Anno 117: Pax Romana is a great November pick. The learning curve rewards players who enjoy planning, adaptability, and a gentle but deep simulation. If you want to pre-order or grab a key, Gamers-Outlet.net usually has competitive pricing on Anno titles and related DLC, so check for deals.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7

Release date and platforms
Call Of Duty Black Ops 7 is one of the month’s biggest mainstream releases and hits PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on November 14, 2025. Expect the full campaign, traditional competitive multiplayer, and the returning cooperative modes to be available at launch, with seasonal content rolling out afterward. We literally just wrote about it and you can read our full review HERE!

Why it matters
Black Ops 7 continues Treyarch’s long-running Black Ops arc while pushing modern tech, storytelling, and multiplayer systems forward. The franchise is a tentpole for competitive shooters and this entry is built to capture both the tight twitch gameplay that veterans crave and the narrative spectacle players expect from a blockbuster Call Of Duty campaign. The devs focus on a tighter campaign structure with cinematic set pieces, improvements to netcode for multiplayer, and an updated progression that ties seasons, battle passes, and cosmetics together more cleanly.

Gameplay and first impressions
Players report that gunplay feels accurate and responsive, with weapon tuning intended to balance accessibility and depth. Multiplayer maps are designed to encourage varied playstyles: close range skirmishes, medium range team fights, and some large scale maps that blend vehicles and on-foot combat. The Zombies or co-op mode, depending on the studio’s design this year, is back with refreshed enemy types and layered objectives to keep groups engaged. Early impressions praise the polish and spectacle, though some communities always nitpick balancing choices and monetization. If you follow the competitive scene, Black Ops 7’s ranked structure and map rotation are already shaping up to be a major talking point among pros and streamers.

Why get ts
Black Ops 7 is a no-brainer for players who like polished modern shooters with frequent content drops. The multiplayer is designed for both casual drop-in matches and hard-core ranked play. If you want to jump in day one, snag a key or a standard/ultimate edition from Gamers-Outlet.net to lock in a good price and cross-progression where supported. The site tends to have solid deals on big Call Of Duty releases so it is worth checking before you buy.

Football Manager 26

Release date and platforms
Football Manager 26 launches on November 4, 2025 on PC and Mac, with console and handheld variants often following or arriving as companion apps. This year’s edition brings additional polish to match simulation and licensing, which always dominate the conversation among sim fans. Although I would add that they could’ve done this game much better.

Why it matters
Football Manager is essentially the gold standard of managerial sims. FM26 refines the manager’s toolkit, improves player AI and scouting, and updates databases for deeper career play. For anyone who loves tactical nuance, transfer market minutiae, and the tiny decisions that compound across seasons, this is the obsessive sandbox. Expect a deeper match engine with more realistic player movement, smarter opposition, and better post-match analytics. But this is from THEIR side. The reviews… are not very good this time 🙁 But like I mentioned earlier… We are biased lmfao 🙂 So we’d still recommend it because of personal, nostalgic reasons. So, even if a game is absolute ass we would recommend it just so you can try it out yk. And form your own opinion later, which may be the same as the rest of the crowd but HEY there’s a chance that maybe you’d like it? And isn’t that less biased? (I should stop drinking)

Gameplay and first impressions
Reports from early reviews and community threads say FM26 is an iterative but meaningful update, although riddled with bugs. The match engine improvements make tactical tweaks feel more impactful. New UI touches make scouting and recruitment less of a chore. Critics praise the accessible onboarding for new players while retaining the depth that veterans rely on. Hardcore managers will still spend hundreds of hours building a dynasty, rotating players, and micromanaging finances. If you are into story-like saves, dramatic promotion runs, or rebuilding a fallen giant, FM26 will deliver – although maybe not now as it needs a fuckton of patches to resolve the slow, shitty & buggy side of the game.

Why get it
If you love detailed simulation and the thrill of building a legacy club, Football Manager 26 is a must-play. It is the kind of game that eats weekends and keeps coming back for more seasons. Gamers-Outlet.net stocks FM26 keys and often lists the standard and deluxe editions plus add-ons like FM points at competitive prices. If you are going to commit to a new managerial save this November, grabbing your key from a reputable seller saves you money and hassle.

All in all
November 2025 gives players a pleasingly diverse slate. Anno 117: Pax Romana scratches that long-form strategy itch (almost reminiscent of Age of Empires). Call Of Duty Black Ops 7 is the blockbuster shooter that will dominate lobbies and streaming channels (maybe not as much as Battlefield this time tho hehe). Football Manager 26 is the deep, absorbing sim for anyone who likes building dynasties season after season (IF THE FUCKEN BUGS ARE FIXED).
