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 4: Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble
Every Christmas lineup needs a good multiplayer experience, and Monkey Ball is consistently that experience. I mean, sure, this particular iteration lacks the Monkey Target masterpiece minigame, but what is in here – a lot of which is inspired by Fall Guys – is wonderfully entertaining stuff, worth many hours of play all in itself.
And then there’s the single player, where you’ve got 200-odd stages, and enough of a difficulty curve to suit everyone from rank beginner right through to Monkey Ball veteran. That mode is even playable in co-op too, so if someone is getting frustrated by it, it’s easy to jump in and help them out. What better way to get into the spirit of Christmas generousity than that?
