00:00The holidays are the perfect time to finally sit down and play something great.
00:04More free time, fewer distractions, and a bunch of games that are actually worth getting
00:09into.
00:10Here are the top 20 games that are absolutely worth playing this holiday.
00:15This is one of those games you boot up when you've got real free time and nothing pulling
00:19you away.
00:20Black Myth Wukong is very combat driven, and it wants your attention from the first fight.
00:26Every enemy hits hard, bosses punish mistakes, and you actually have to learn how things
00:31work instead of rushing through.
00:33What makes it great for the holiday break is the pacing.
00:36You play for an hour or two, make solid progress, then stop without feeling lost when you come
00:41back later.
00:42There's no overload of side systems or busy work.
00:46It's mostly about moving forward, learning new fights, and getting better with each area.
00:51It also just feels good to play.
00:53Facts have weight, dodging feels responsive, and boss fights give you that, okay, one more
00:58try, feeling.
01:01If you're looking for a holiday game that keeps you locked in without wasting your time, this
01:05one fits perfectly.
01:33Sometimes during the holidays, you don't want a game that stresses you out.
01:37You just want something you can enjoy, make steady progress in, and actually relax with.
01:43That's where Kena, Bridge of Spirits, fits really well.
01:46The game mixes exploration, light puzzles, and combat in a way that never feels overwhelming.
01:52You're moving through colorful areas, helping characters along the way, and getting into fights
01:57that are easy to understand but still satisfying.
02:00It keeps things simple without feeling shallow.
02:03It's also perfect for short or long sessions.
02:06You can play for 30 minutes or sink in for a few hours and it still feels good either way.
02:12If you take a break for a day or two, coming back is easy.
02:15Everything feels familiar fast.
02:17For a holiday game that's smooth, comforting, and genuinely fun to play, Kena is an easy recommendation.
02:35You pretend to care for the spirit, but you only serve yourself.
02:54You pretend to care for the spirit, but you don't want to play, Kena is an easy recommendation.
03:23If you've got a few days off and want a game you can slowly sink into, Rise of the Ronin
03:28is a solid choice.
03:30It gives you a lot of room to play your way, whether that's sticking to the main missions
03:33or just wandering around and picking fights.
03:37Combat feels very hands-on.
03:38You're not just reacting, you're making choices in real time.
03:42Switching styles, reading enemy moves, and staying aggressive all matter.
03:47It can be tough at first, but once it clicks, fights start to feel really satisfying instead
03:52of frustrating.
03:53What makes it work well for a holiday break is the freedom.
03:57You can play for an hour, make progress, and stop.
04:00Or you can lose an entire afternoon without realizing it.
04:03Either way, the game keeps moving at your pace, which is exactly what you want when you
04:07finally have time to enjoy it.
04:11Some games are perfect for chilling, and then there are games you boot up when you want your
04:15reflexes tested.
04:17Ninja Gaiden 4 clearly into the second category.
04:19From the moment combat starts, it's fast, aggressive, and unforgiving if you lose focus for even a
04:26second.
04:27The holiday break actually makes this a better experience.
04:29You finally have time to fail, learn enemy patterns, and slowly get cleaner with your movement and
04:35attacks.
04:36Every fight demands input.
04:37Dodging, positioning, and timing all matter.
04:40And when things click, it feels incredibly satisfying.
04:44What's nice here is how direct the game feels.
04:47No massive map to manage, no distractions.
04:50You jump in, fight hard, improve, and move on.
04:53If you're looking for a holiday game that keeps your hands busy and your brain locked in, Ninja Gaiden 4 is exactly that kind of game.
05:00If you truly think you have what it takes to slay the Dark Dragon, prove it.
05:09The very theme that resurrected the Dark Dragon years ago, even a mortal such as yourself has heard of me, I'm sure.
05:21Die, insect!
05:35Dynasty Warriors 9 starts off a little different from what the series used to be.
05:39Instead of short stages, you're dropped into a big open map where you can move freely and
05:44take things at your own pace.
05:46It's the kind of setup that works really well when you've got extra free time.
05:50The combat is still all about wiping out huge groups of enemies and feeling overpowered.
05:55You can jump into fights whenever you want, ride across the map, or just mess around clearing camps
06:00without worrying too much about perfect timing or strategy.
06:04What makes it nice for a holiday playthrough is how relaxed it feels.
06:08You can play for 10 minutes or lose a few hours without even noticing.
06:12It's not trying to rush you, and that makes it easy to enjoy when you just want something
06:16simple, long, and familiar to sink into.
06:19Go forth, and learn what it means to be a hero.
06:26You claim to strive for justice, but have no way to achieve it.
06:34Tearing down the system without providing an alternative is mere wanton destruction.
06:42You claim to go and have no other battles.
06:43And that's the opposite of the fight.
06:43You claim to be a hero.
06:45The к injustices of the weapon is the right history of the weapon.
06:47You claim to be a hero.
06:48This one is the right thing.
06:49You claim to be a hero.
07:02You claim to be a hero.
07:03You claim to be a hero.
07:05You claim to be a hero, who has a hero.
07:07You claim the hero.
07:09Tokyo without people is already weird, and Ghostwire Tokyo leans fully into that feeling.
07:18You're walking through empty streets while something clearly isn't right around every
07:22corner.
07:23The gameplay keeps things simple and smooth.
07:26Combat is built around hand gestures that feel different from typical shooters, and
07:30fights stay readable without getting overwhelming.
07:33You're clearing areas, picking up abilities, and moving forward at a steady pace that feels
07:37easy to stick with during a long break.
07:40What really makes this work as a holiday game is the freedom to slow down.
07:45You can spend time exploring side activities, collecting things around the city, or just
07:49following the main story when you're in the mood.
07:52For the holidays, when you want something stylish, calm, and different from the usual action-heavy
07:57games, Tokyo fits that spot really well.
08:01The time is nigh.
08:08The world rests on the precipice of transformation.
08:17A new age will dawn!
08:34This game fits perfectly when you've got a long holiday break, and want something you
08:38can really dig into.
08:40Lords of the Fallen is tough, slow-paced, and very deliberate.
08:45Every fight asks you to stay focused, manage your stamina, and think before swinging.
08:51Rushing almost always gets you killed.
08:53What keeps it engaging is the way progress feels earned.
08:57You move through dark, connected areas, unlock shortcuts, and slowly build a character that
09:02starts to feel stronger over time.
09:05Death happens a lot, but it usually pushes you to adjust instead of giving up.
09:10The dual world system is where things get interesting.
09:13Flipping between realms can completely change how an area feels, and keeps exploration from
09:18getting stale.
09:20If you've got a long holiday, and want a game that rewards patience and focus, Lords of
09:25the Fallen is a great way to spend that time.
09:32You are in the presence of a god human, who kneel before me and beg for forgiveness.
10:00Holiday gaming doesn't always have to be loud or intense.
10:04Sometimes, it's about slowing things down, and enjoying a game at your own pace.
10:09And Digimon Storytime Stranger leans hard into that idea.
10:13This one is more about building a team and watching it grow over time.
10:17You're collecting Digimon, figuring out evolutions, and tweaking your lineup to see what works best.
10:23Battles aren't rushed, and that makes it easy to sit back and think through your moves
10:27instead of reacting on instinct.
10:29The time travel story adds a nice hook without getting in the way.
10:33You move between different moments, meet familiar Digimon in new situations, and gradually piece
10:38everything together.
10:40It's easy to pick up, easy to pause, and easy to come back to later.
10:45For a holiday break game that feels chill, and rewarding without demanding too much, this
10:50one fits perfectly.
10:57Seek comrades willing to face destiny beside you.
11:02The time of the world's end draws near.
11:07When all the clock's lamps are lit, the truth shall be revealed.
11:11A story about the natural laws of the world is about to begin.
11:21Routine is the kind of horror game that keeps you uneasy without constantly throwing scares
11:26at you.
11:27A lot of the time, you're just moving through empty hallways, checking rooms, and second-guessing
11:32every sound you hear.
11:34Nothing feels safe, even when nothing is happening.
11:37What really sells it is the setting.
11:40An abandoned space station should feel quiet, but here that silence works against you.
11:45You're always waiting for something to move or make noise, and that tension never really
11:49goes away.
11:50You're not some overpowered character, either.
11:53The game wants you to be careful, not brave.
11:56It's a solid holiday pick if you like playing at night and taking things slow.
12:00You can explore for a bit, stop when it gets too intense, then jump back in later without
12:04feeling lost.
12:06If you're into slow-burn horror that trusts atmosphere more than action, Routine is absolutely
12:12worth checking out.

12:48Having a few days off makes games like this hit different.
13:16The Last of Us Part 1 is best enjoyed when you're not rushing, and you can actually
13:20sit down and take it in.
13:23It moves at a steady pace, and gives you time to breathe between intense moments.
13:27The gameplay leans into tension more than action.
13:31Ammo is limited, enemies are dangerous, and every encounter feels deliberate.
13:36Sometimes sneaking past a fight is the smarter move.
13:39Other times things fall apart and you just deal with it.
13:42That back and forth keeps the experience grounded and engaging.
13:45It's also easy to play in chunks.
13:48A short session still feels meaningful, and longer sessions pull you deeper without burning
13:52you out.
13:53For a holiday break, when you want a game that feels focused, polished, and worth your time,
13:59The Last of Us Part 1 is an easy pick.
14:03Split Fiction is all about playing together, not just sitting on the same couch.
14:08This game is built around co-op, and it really leans into that idea.
14:12Every section asks both players to communicate, react, and solve problems at the same time.
14:18You can't just carry the other person through it.
14:21What's fun here is how often things change.
14:24One moment you're dealing with platforming.
14:26Then it suddenly shifts into something completely different.
14:30New mechanics show up, get explored, and then move on before they get boring.
14:34It keeps the experience fresh the whole way through.
14:37During a holiday break, this is the kind of game that works perfectly if you're playing
14:41with a friend or family member.
14:43It's not too long, it's easy to jump into, and it creates a lot of, wait, did you see
14:48that?
14:49moments.
14:50If you want a shared experience instead of a solo grind, this one really hits the mark.
14:54Follow my lead.
14:55Are you for real, Zoe?
14:56I wrote it when I was a kid.
14:57What sort of devil child were you?
14:59Hands above your head.
15:00What now?
15:01I did not sign up for this.
15:02Brace yourself, Zoe!
15:03Attack!
15:04Attack!
15:05Ah!
15:06Ah!
15:07I did not sign up for this!
15:08Brace yourself, Zoe!
15:09Attack!
15:10Attack!
15:11Ah!
15:12Ah!
15:13Ah!
15:14Ah!

15:29Ah!
15:30Ah!
15:31Ah!
15:32Ah!
15:33Ah!
15:34You want the truth?
15:38All the lives inside me tell me to let go.
16:04What will I become?
16:10Senua's saga Hellblade II feels more like an experience than a typical action game.
16:16From the first minutes, it's clear this one wants you to slow down and really pay attention.
16:21The camera stays close, the sound design is intense, and everything is built to keep you locked into Senua's point of view.
16:28The combat is more grounded and heavier than before.
16:31You're not fighting huge crowds. Instead, each encounter feels personal and tense, where timing and awareness matter more than flashy moves.
16:40It keeps things focused and controlled instead of chaotic.
16:44This is a great holiday game if you want something cinematic and easy to play in shorter sessions.
16:49You can jump in, play for a bit, and walk away thinking about it afterward.
16:54Headphones make a big difference here, and if you're into story-driven games that feel serious and immersive,
16:59this one really stands out.
17:04Lies of P is one of those games that pulls you in faster than you expect.
17:08At first, it looks like a classic Souls-style setup, but once you start playing, it feels way more approachable than you'd think.
17:16The controls are tight, the movement feels good, and everything responds cleanly.
17:20The combat is all about timing and learning patterns, but it doesn't feel unfair.
17:26You slowly figure out when to block, when to dodge, and when to go in.
17:31The weapon system is also fun to mess with since you can mix different blades and handles to fit your playstyle.
17:36This is a really solid holiday game if you want something challenging without being exhausting.
17:40You can play in short sessions, make real progress, then come back later feeling sharper.
17:47It's the kind of game that quietly hooks you and doesn't let go once it clicks.
17:51You're not the puppet I was expecting. Who are you?
18:01I heard she was looking for someone.
18:08Legendary.
18:10She stepped up only because no one else could.
18:14Too many stalkers were lost to that evil.
18:17I'll do whatever it takes.
18:33Your survival is all that matters.
18:36Nothing else comes close, not even in my life.
18:39I swear I won't be late.
18:40I'm f***ing down.
18:45There are things I mustn't set right.
18:49Why is this so important to you?
18:51Oh, Ada.
18:54What to do with you?
18:58Luis, the goodbye's gonna have to wait.
19:01I'll make a joke for you.
19:11Move!
19:13It's always like this with you.
19:15How about your...
19:17Ahead!
19:18You're kidding.
19:22Ah yes, the time has come.
19:26Like I told you.
19:27I told you.
19:31I'm gonna get you home safe.
19:33I'm ready to die, Boogie.
19:35Exalt all!
19:37Leon!
19:39And let it be so!
19:42This time...
19:44It has to be different.
19:49Resident Evil 4 Remake takes a familiar game and makes it feel surprisingly fresh again.
19:54From the start, it's more grounded and tighter, with movement and combat that feel way smoother than the original.
20:01Everything reacts faster, and fights feel more controlled without losing that tense pressure.
20:06What really stands out is how balanced it feels during long play sessions.
20:11You can push through story sections, upgrade weapons, manage your inventory, then take a break without losing momentum.
20:17It's structured in a way that makes just one more chapter very hard to resist.
20:23For a holiday playthrough, this one hits a sweet spot.
20:26It's focused, polished, and constantly throwing new situations at you so things never drag.
20:32Whether you're replaying it or jumping in for the first time, it's an easy game to sink hours into without getting burned out.
20:38Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain is one of those games where you boot it up just to play a bit, and suddenly an hour's gone.
20:48It gives you a huge open space and basically says, figure it out your way.
20:53You can sneak around, go loud, call in support, or try something weird just to see if it works.
20:58What really makes it fun during a holiday break is how flexible it is.
21:04You don't need to commit to long story sessions.
21:07You can do one mission, mess with your base, test new gear, then hop out whenever you want.
21:12It never feels like you're wasting time.
21:15The controls feel smooth, the systems run deep, and the game rewards creativity more than raw skill.
21:21If you like experimenting, planning, and slowly getting better at your own pace,
21:24this is the kind of game that quietly eats up your free time without feeling tiring.
21:54Returnal is the kind of game that really asks for your full attention.
22:11From the moment you land on the planet, everything moves fast.
22:15You're constantly dodging, jumping, and shooting, and standing still for even a second can get you wiped out.
22:20It feels more like a rhythm game with guns than a typical shooter.
22:25What makes it interesting is the loop.
22:27Every run resets the world, but you slowly learn the enemies, the weapons, and how the combat flows.
22:33Even when a run ends badly, it never feels like wasted time.
22:37You unlock new tools, shortcuts, and abilities that make the next attempt feel more manageable.
22:43That sense of progress keeps pulling you back in.
22:45It's also a great holiday game if you want something immersive and focused.
22:50You can jump in for a quick run, or end up playing way longer than planned.
22:53I found a technology I've never encountered before.
22:58You can count it before.
23:10Hidden deep below the surface.
23:16With each rush upon us.
23:17It leaves a fresh scar behind.
23:24No matter how hard we fight.
23:30We can never stop it.
23:33Stop it.
23:38We alone must find meaning amidst the flow.
23:45Creating our own fate.
23:55Finding our own answers.
23:56Sleep Awake slowly pulls you into a story about a world where sleep and reality don't fully line up anymore.
24:12You play as someone trying to understand what's happening as people start slipping into strange, shared dreams that feel a little too real.
24:19As you move through different locations, things start to feel more personal.
24:24The spaces change, memories blur, and you begin to question what's real and what isn't.
24:29It's less about solving puzzles fast, and more about paying attention to the mood and the meaning behind what you're seeing.
24:36For a holiday playthrough, this works great if you want something slower and more thoughtful.
24:40You can take your time, play in short sessions, and let the story slowly sink in.
24:46It's not loud or busy, but it sticks with you, especially if you enjoy games that tell their story in a quiet, indirect way.
24:54This is all perfectly natural.
24:59I am awake!
25:04Resisting the inevitable comes at a cost.
25:10Make us!
25:15Give me your idea.
25:17Clear Obscure Expedition 33 feels like one of those games that immediately stands out once you understand its setup.
25:28The story centers around a world where people literally have an expiration number,
25:33and every year a mysterious figure erases everyone who reaches that number.
25:37Gameplay-wise, it mixes turn-based combat with real-time timing elements,
25:41so you're not just picking attacks and waiting.
25:44You actually have to react, dodge, and time inputs,
25:48which keeps fights feeling active instead of slow.
25:51It's strategic but still approachable, especially once you get used to the rhythm.
25:56What makes this a great holiday game is how focused and story-driven it is.
26:01You can sit down, play a chapter, and feel like you made real progress.
26:06The world is stylish, the characters feel intentional,
26:08and the tone stays serious without being heavy all the time.
26:11The tone stays serious without being heavy all the time.
26:29We take everything.
26:32Is this true?
26:39Maia's with him.
26:41We need to go.
26:42Now!
26:55Who are you?
27:02I know it seems absurd to offer oblivion as recompense, but…
27:26Shadows Die Twice is the kind of game that asks you to really lock in,
27:30but once it clicks, it feels incredibly satisfying.
27:34Instead of leveling up stats or over-gearing enemies,
27:37everything comes down to timing, reactions, and learning how fights actually work.
27:42Blocking, deflecting, and staying aggressive matter way more than playing it safe.
27:48The combat has a rhythm to it.
27:50Once you start reading enemy moves, fights feel almost like a back-and-forth duel instead of a typical action game.
27:55Every win feels earned, and every loss teaches you something useful for the next attempt.
28:02It can be tough at first, but the learning curve is part of the fun.
28:06It's not a game you rush through, but one that rewards patience and commitment.
28:10If you enjoy mastering systems and seeing real improvement, Sekiro is extremely satisfying to spend time with.
28:16What's the matter, Stray? Nothing left to lose?
28:28No!
28:31Stray? Well, I'll let you know…
28:33I'll let you know…
28:35No!
28:37No!
28:38I'll let you know!
28:39I'll let you know…
28:42I'll let you know…
28:45Elden Ring gives you freedom in a way very few games do.
28:57From the moment you step into the world, you're free to go wherever you want, fight what you
29:01want, or just wander and see what you stumble into.
29:04There's no pressure to follow one path, and that's what makes it so easy to lose hours
29:09without even realizing it.
29:11Combat feels familiar if you've played other From Software games, but the open world changes
29:15everything.
29:17If something feels too hard, you can leave, explore somewhere else, level up, or find
29:22new gear.
29:23For a holiday break, this game works perfectly because you control the pace.
29:28You can play seriously and push progress, or just explore and mess around at your own speed.
29:34It's deep, challenging, and surprisingly flexible, making it one of those games you can live in
29:38for days when you finally have the time.
29:42power is a champion, or a lord, to be all.
29:59A lowly tarnished, playing as a lord, I command thee now!
30:12Grandish the Elden Ring.
30:37Grandish the Elden Ring.
30:44For all of us.
