It’s that time of year again! We’re counting down the days to Christmas with our own little “advent calendar” – one new game to play over the holiday season each and every day.
As the year winds down, things get really busy. We’ve got Christmas parties to attend, the end of year rush on work, and all the rest of it. But it’s also a time where we take holidays, find a moment to relax, and enjoy the company of others. This is the best chance to catch up on some key games that you might have missed from the year… or just play that multiplayer game that you’ve been waiting to get a crew together for.
Day 3: Neva (Sony PlayStation 5)
Christmas is a time for celebrations, good food, good drink, and good times, but there’s another side to it too: It’s also a time to rest and reflect on life and what’s important, including the connections that you make and your key relationships. Neva is a great game to put you in that mood – in fact, it’s a bit of a tear-jerker, but in the right way, because the ultimate message is focused on what matters in life.
As an added bonus, it’s also a perfectly brief game and can be played through in a few hours. I know we all enter the Christmas season with grand plans to get a lot done, only to run into the wall of endless parties, social gatherings, work and other obligations. Often a brief game is just what the Christmas season demands.
