Not every year, but my favorite videogames to play whenever I go home for Christmas are Parasite Eve, Super Mario World and Secret of Mana. I don't play them every year but usually every few years.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 is an Anime WW1 style game takes place durin the fall and Winter. Hevay Snow And winter game mechanics. Turn Based 3D Strategy Game similar to Fire Emblem or XCom but you move your units in REAL TIME and Take aim yourself.
I’ve played a couple Valkyria Chronicles games before and actually own the 4th one but haven’t gotten around to playing it yet unfortunately. Sounds like I should have though given it seems pretty fitting for this list! Damn. I really liked the first one, it had real unique gameplay that I hadn’t ever seen another system exactly like it. Need to go back and revisit the rest of the series
I really recommend the series! I prefer generally 4 to 1, although 1 still is probably the better starting point Code name steam on 3ds is a very similar game which I also recommend.
I think I remember reading some reviews at the time of its release for the 360 that if you didn't have a high def tv it was really hard to read the game text. Happy to see all these old games are on the new gen consoles.
Oddly enough my favorite games for Christmas time were always Resident Evil games (up to #4.) For years I'd get a Resident Evil game around that time of year and play with friends. Code Veronica especially is good because of the snowy prison location at the beginning.
Ah damn you’re right! Last Xbox system I had was the 360 so I completely forgot about the backwards compatibility on the newer ones. Thanks for pointing that out.
A one year later shout out to SquareSoft's Parasite Eve that starts on Christmas Eve in a snowy New York.. I actually played it for the first time during Christmas in 1998. The feeeeels.
@winter/christmass time i always played a megamn till i beat it or play final fantasy 6 (or 3) the music and start ofthe 16bit version indeed always reminds me of christmass or winter (thought i was the only one)
Another great game/series for Xmas is Animal Crossing. The original on GC and the Wii one were staples for me and my friends growing up. Lots of stuff to do in the town for the Holidays, laying traps outside friends houses, snowmen to build... Good times
I have a soft spot for Ni No Kuni being it was the last game my dad got me Christmas 2013 well along with Brave Story on PSP.. Dragon Quest VIII also reminds of Christmas being I got it Christmas Eve 2006.. And, it does have some wintry areas.. Maybe we could also lump in Chrono Trigger too!?
I saved miles morales for Christmas time lmao cause of the story being around Christmas . Welp I thought I was the only one who did that . Dam time flies Christmas is over
