Lots of people have traditions for their favourite Christmas songs and Christmas movies, but I don’t see games get talked about as much. It makes sense, there’s not many Christmas video games, but does anyone have anything they like to play specifically around the holidays? For me, I always go back and play some Elder Scrolls games. I also tend to play a lot of racing games around Christmas (tradition with my dad), and of course most of my playtime in hockey games are during the winter. Does anyone else have anything they like to revisit, or any genres they save, for this time of year? I’d love to hear about it
Skyrim is the most obvious one - it just seems more appropriate in the winter.
Ditto The Long Dark, though it’s notably not festive.
When it’s really cold, and especially at night, I sometimes get an urge to play Little Inferno - it’s sort of like one of those old fireplace videos, except with added surrealism and silliness.
The Long Dark is not for everyone but for me it’s awesome
I really shouldn’t like it, since games in which you die repeatedly generally just irritate me, but something about it keeps me coming back. And dying.
I really don’t like to play it, but I love the colours and art style!
Skyrim is usually what I start with for Christmas gaming, before going backwards in the series
