Christmas is on the way! It’s time to adorn the tree with
dazzling lights, bust out the obligatory TV specials, and gobble festive treats
faster than the chef in your family can put them down. More importantly, it’s a
precious opportunity to ditch your routine and bask in the company of those you
hold dearest.
There might not be snow banks to leap into depending on your
geographic coordinates, but video games under a blanket can provide fun with
100 per cent less mess (barring severe eggnog mishaps). It wouldn’t be
Christmas at DDNet without our requisite list of games to keep you warm and
cozy for the holidays. Each day until Christmas, we’ll highlight a title that’s
perfect for passing the time, bonding with friends, or stuffing in your buddy’s
stocking.
Join us on this 24 day adventure as we count down to the
most wonderful time of the year. Merry Christmas!
Game #15: Kirby Star Allies
Kirby's first Nintendo Switch adventure would have made for
good Christmas fun at launch. His outings are always charming for youngsters
and those who just like to wind down with feel-good platformers (or is that
Good-Feel?). This particular entry delivers four player co-op and several
playable characters beyond the pink puffball himself, meaning it's
exceptionally welcoming for anyone in the TV room.
More remarkable is that Nintendo has channeled Santa’s
generosity with Star Allies. Indeed, they've shared a dozen new characters, new
modes, and various bits of extra polish for free. Even if you beat the game
months ago, there's never been a better time to break it out for your friends
and family.
