Christmas is basically here (it started in November for all purposes because I don&#8217;t like the fact that this holiday is only there for a week)&#8230; As the year winds down, we get a mix of rhythm-driven indie flair, chaotic arcade sports, and big-budget action. If you\u2019re wondering what to play during the holidays, we recommend these games &#8211; across different genres, for different types of mood. As long as its not depressing, we are good. A lot of people I know struggle HEAVILY with 2 things during winter &#8211; lack of family time and lack of Vitamin D (I can help with that)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case let&#8217;s just dive into this and ignore the fuckass jokes I make&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows (Switch 2 version)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Release date<\/strong>: December 2, 2025 \u2014 Nintendo Switch 2<br><strong>Platforms<\/strong>: Nintendo Switch 2 (the earlier PC\/PS5\/Xbox versions already dropped in March). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Assassin&#039;s Creed Shadows \u2013 Announcement Trailer \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OzyD_EFZzgc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this December release interesting isn\u2019t that the game is brand new \u2014 but that <strong>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/strong> is finally landing on Switch 2. For couple years, Shadows has already made waves on PC and consoles with its dual protagonists, feudal-Japan setting, and deep stealth + action gameplay. On Switch 2, it brings virtually the full package = updated content, portable-and-docked play, and cross-platform save support via Ubisoft Connect. Touch-screen controls for menus and maps are part of the deal too. I fucking hate Ubisoft personally because they still haven&#8217;t fixed the Siege loading times. It takes forEVER to start the damn game and it doesn&#8217;t fucking matter if you have the best gaming PC or not. Still shit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For fans who have avoided it because of their hardware, or just want a big open-world RPG they can play on-the-go or on the couch, this Switch 2 port is perfect. Shadows offers flexible playstyles: you can go full-stealth as Naoe the shinobi, or go bold as Yasuke the samurai. The mechanics are built to satisfy both classic AC stealth fans and those who lean toward action-heavy combat. The verticality, parkour revival, and dual-character dynamic still deliver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been holding back on a Switch 2 purchase or a fresh Assassin\u2019s Creed run, December 2 gives you a solid excuse. And, I mean, Switch 2 is an insanely good investment. You gotta hand it to Nintendo. It&#8217;s a great console&#8230; Until the Steam Machine releases and MAYBE we have a brand new favorite console lmao<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unbeatable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Release date<\/strong>: December 9, 2025<br><strong>Platforms<\/strong>: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UNBEATABLE: FINAL TRAILER \" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vkvi71znX_Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want something different for the holidays? <strong>Unbeatable<\/strong> is a rhythm-adventure game that hits just before things get hectic \u2014 and it\u2019s bringing a vibe like nothing else this month. You play as \u201cBeat\u201d and her band, rebel musicians on the run in a world where music is outlawed. Think: dystopia meets foot-stomping tracks and neon-soaked rebellion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early impressions from the hype community call it stylish, emotionally charged, and musically satisfying. The game uses its soundtrack as more than background; music fuels movement, choices, and narrative beats. If you like games with rhythm, soul, and a bit of attitude, Unbeatable could be your kind of escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The art style is definitely something to talk about. Imho it looks beautiful and immerses you way more into the game and the story and really does show you that indie game devs put SO MUCH effort into whatever they create, out of pure passion. And that&#8217;s both admirable and respectable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a holiday-ready indie pick, and if you want to try something that doesn\u2019t involve gunfire or gridiron violence, Unbeatable offers a refreshing change of pace. Kinda aesthetic and chill vibe, reminds me of the time I would play Moonlighter in the cozy winter. Great RPG btw if you haven&#8217;t checked it out, part 2 of the game is also out now and I&#8217;ll review it soon hehehe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mutant Football League 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Release date<\/strong>: December 10, 2025<br><strong>Platforms<\/strong>: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mutant Football League 2 - Release Date Trailer | Indie Horror Showcase 2025\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TqB6dudhQvc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who want mayhem, over-the-top action, and a thick slice of chaos wrapped in sports uniforms, <strong>Mutant Football League 2<\/strong> lands right when winter sets in. The game revives the cult-classic Mutant League tradition \u2014 imagine football meets madness: teams of mutants, monsters, undead, robots, and more battling it out in violent, trap-filled arenas. Buzz saws. Exploding players. Gore. Glory. It\u2019s basically \u201csports\u201d for people who hate subtlety. And I kinda dig that kinda shit lmao. Absolutely no supression and full-on battle trauma, DOOM style &#8211; but with football&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MFL 2 brings arcade-style 8-on-8 football to modern consoles and PC \u2014 but the rules are twisted. Instead of realistic seasons and transfers, expect mayhem, sabotage, brutal power-ups, stadium traps, and a roster of monstrous teams you build yourself. There&#8217;s a single-player Season mode, a \u201cDynasty Supreme\u201d mode where you manage a team over time, and multiplayer chaos if you want to go head-to-head with friends. I always think to myself that this game is probably what the demons in hell call Football Manager ahahah <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re bored of standard sports and want a holiday game night full of insanity and comedy with broken limbs, and utter unpredictability; this might just be your ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which One Should You Play? And Why!!!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For serious story-driven RPG fans<\/strong>: Go for Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows on Switch 2. It\u2019s polished, deep, and fits great if you want a big epic you can play anywhere.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For chill, music-fueled vibes<\/strong>: Unbeatable is the wildcard. It\u2019s a different tone \u2014 emotional, rhythmic, and perfect if you want something shorter, stylish, and artistic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For chaos, laughs, and friends over for the holidays<\/strong>: Mutant Football League 2 brings irreverent, violent fun that just doesn\u2019t give a damn. You need friends for that though I hope you got that part covered xd<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short: December 2025 isn\u2019t just about holiday sales and old classics&#8230; It has something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to save some cash while grabbing these titles?
