The tree is up, the lights are on, the stockings are over the fireplace and everyone’s getting into the eggnog. It’s Christmas and it’s the best time of year.
Nothing beats Christmas; it’s the time for fun and play, for family and friends. It’s the chance to get away from work and reset the batteries. And, of course, it’s the perfect time to knock off some of those games that you just haven’t been able to get around to.
As is tradition for Digitally Downloaded we’re going to count down the 24 games of Christmas – one a day for each day from December 1 through to December 24. The fun, the silly and the crazy, these games have been custom picked by the DDNet editorial team to give you plenty of ideas for stocking fillers, games to play with family and friends on Christmas Eve, or games you should use the extra time over the holiday to get stuck into.
Puppeteer flew a little under the radar this year. Perhaps it was released at the wrong time given how many other very highly hyped games were released around the same time, but for whatever the reason it wasn’t given as much attention as its quality demanded.
Puppeteer is an essential game for anyone that likes platformers or quirky games. While it doesn’t do anything particularly innovative in terms of gameplay, its themes are wholly unique, and it’s that theme that makes the game so very compelling.
You may well have missed this game earlier in the year, or forgot that it was even released. Be sure to remedy that this Christmas however, because if you have a heart, you’ll love this game.
