Christmas games – the best titles to enjoy this festive season

Thank goodness there’s Animal Crossing.

The holiday season means different things to each of us. Family. Religious significance. Tradition. And let’s be real, a blessed few days when we get to play some new games without life’s usual responsibilities crushing our faces into the dirt. 

But do games know their significance to us during this period? How do they celebrate the season within their own little ecosystems, and how do they let us do the same? Well, the results are in, and the answer is a unanimous ‘snow and punching’.

Behold, then, titles which either feature Christmas, conjure it through seasonal events, or are just fantastically suited to occupying your time during the period. All I can say is: thank goodness there’s Animal Crossing.
