Looking for the perfect games to play over Christmas? We've got you. With all the free time the holiday season can sometimes offer, it's the best time to start dealing with the pile of shame that is your gaming backlog. Even if you've managed to avoid this year's numerous Steam sales, there's a high chance you have a bunch of unplayed or unfinished games you're itching to tick off your list before the new year-and we're going to highlight the best ones to finally unwrap and wrap up.
The pile of shame grows ever more insurmountable each year: saddled by the insufferable need to eat, sleep, and work. Promising games inevitably slip by the wayside. As games get longer and more become fully-fledged 'services', we're encouraged to play fewer games, but each of them for longer. Nobody tells us where the extra hours are supposed to come from. Each year, we can pretend to our royally soused selves that we can conquer that heap of games. The key to doing so? Deciding where to start.
