No holiday season is complete without blockbuster games. Especially if you’re a student, you might find yourself needing a game or two to kill time over break. Let’s dive right in and look at some of the biggest titles you should be playing this holiday season.
First and foremost, after a ten-year development cycle, fans of the critically acclaimed “Final Fantasy” series should rejoice. “Final Fantasy XV” has finally launched, and to quite the ac¬claim. This game, known for its large open world and emphasis on the relationship between its main party, has held fast as the topic of conversation. If you’re looking for a game to pore your¬self into over break, this is it.
In the mood for a more thoroughly challenging experience? Be careful what you wish for be¬cause “Super Mario Maker For Nintendo 3DS” is now available. The Wii U title that changed the face of our favorite plumber’s franchise has now gone hand¬held, meaning you can torture yourself on the go. From giant flying Bowsers to Piranha Plants falling from the sky, you’ll never be able to stop moving in this user-generated dungeon of well-crafted levels.
Interested in adding a bit more strategy to your life? While “Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft” is far from new, its new¬est expansion, “Mean Streets of Gadgetzan” just launched, giving players the opportunity to battle with over 100 new cards. With this game reaching its height user-base, it’s a better time than ever before to jump into one of the biggest collectible card games on mobile and PC.
“Furi” was previously re¬viewed in the Penmen Press, and though it’s not a new game, it is launching this month on Xbox One. If you missed out on a chance to try this incredibly balanced action game, a whole new world of possibilities is being opened for you.
Finally, if you’re looking for something a bit more “in the theme” of this season, “Steep” is an open world winter sports game developed by Ubisoft. Unconventional? Yes. But the formula still finds a way to be unique and fun, despite being based on something as niche as winter sports.
The options for a gamer hungry for adventure are as plentiful as ever, thanks to the launch of numerous incredible titles. Have a happy holiday, and happy gaming!
