December is an efficient time for brand spanking new video games—the highest half of the world is further darkish and chilly, and we’ve day off—however nobody needs to spend the vacations engaged on bug fixes, so it is also a dangerous time to launch new video games. It is common for late-in-the-year video games to be delayed into the brand new yr (stolen to feed February’s bottomless urge for food), making December a little bit of a wild card month.
Excellent news: This December is likely one of the cool ones. Marvel’s Midnight Suns turned out to be bizarre and enjoyable, the legendary Dwarf Fortress is lastly getting graphics and tutorials, and though we’re unsure but how a lot we’ll like The Callisto Protocol, I can inform you that it will be tremendous gross, so in the event you wind up with a brand new GPU over the vacations you may have one thing to place its icky gore rendering capabilities to work on.
Additionally this month: A brand new house colony sim, an FPS from the co-creator of Rick and Morty, and the 2022 Sport Awards. This is what to stay up for:
