Christmas is nearly here, and with it your ability to enjoy some truly spectacular gaming titles. From desktop computers to consoles to mobiles and tablets, gaming is seemingly everywhere. Also it is more accessible than ever. Christmas is often the best time to relax in the new titles. This is because the time of work and the copious amounts of food both combine nicely to justify extra time on the couch. Plus there are lots of health benefits to gaming so its a good hobby to pursue!

We’re here to suggest some of the best video games you can play this Christmas. These titles offer you an amazing amount of content for the price. We hope that picking one of these titles up helps you de-stress from a tense and hard working year.

Destiny 2

Destiny 2 is the sequel to Bungie’s popular breakout FPS MMO. It has been celebrated across the board, despite some players complaining about a lack of endgame content. Destiny received mixed reviews. However the premise of the original idea is there, and as the team continue to rework their formula the game is sure to get even better. There’s no doubt that fans of this sci-fi space opera shooter cherish it, and for good reason. The game has RPG mechanics which allow you to level your character and find loot around the world to equip them with.

If you’re looking for a similar experience to get started, but aren’t interested in the whole cost of purchasing Destiny 2 and expansions, we’d recommend trying out Warframe. This is a free to play game on the steam store. It’s likely you’ll appreciate and learn the MMO FPS mechanics from here. Then maybe that game would be enough for your tastes. If you’re looking to shoot things in a surreal world, these two titles have all you need.

Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy is a long-standing and oft-celebrated title. It is famous for its intricate lore and world building, beautiful music, complex battle systems and overall polish. Good news, Final Fantasy XV is coming to PC soon. But in the meantime is available on consoles. If you’re looking for your JRPG fix, this could be just your taste. If MMO’s are more your thing, FFXIV A Realm Reborn offers some of the best MMO flavors you could experience. It offers two excellent and narratively cherished expansion packs to sink plenty of hours into. For a more portable and cutting-edge Final Fantasy Experience, the Final Fantasy 15 mobile game is currently receiving positive acclaim. Choose one or all three of these titles for some of the best and most polished gaming Japan currently offers.

Assassin’s Creed Origins

If you’re interested in Ancient Egypt at all, and have enjoyed any of the previous Assassin’s Creed titles, Origins could be just for you. Featuring Bayek of Siwa, the Medjay protagonist looking for retribution after his child is killed, traipsing and hunting all over Egypt is available to you. The game has been totally reworked since the previous days of Assassin’s Creed. It offers a new combat system, an amazing and massive world, as well as some of the finest and most natural exploration you can receive (there’s no mini-map!)

Hot from the success of Rainbow Six: Siege, Ubisoft have truly outdone themselves in developing and publishing this title. They received critical acclaim from gaming and regular journalists alike.

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Recently titled game of the year at the Video Game Awards this year, the Zelda series once again offers a stellar experience. If you own a Switch (a great Christmas present,) you can take control of Link and experience an adventure like no others. The world is open now, meaning there are plenty of places to discover, and plenty of secrets to find.

Another great mechanic is that Link can now climb most things, and use his power to wield kinetic energy to manipulate the environment. Getting around can be one of the most intriguing and stimulating things in that game, but Nintendo didn’t stop there. The combat and story is stellar this time around, which is a lot to say for a cel shaded series aimed at teenagers. If you’re looking to feel like a young adventurer again, Breath of the Wild could be just the ticket you need.

These games are more than enough to sink your time into this Christmas, and could inform a wonderful and truly adventurous gaming habit in 2018.
