    You just helped me to decide what game to buy! however I still need to save money to buy a Nintendo Switch OLED. I was saving my money to buy NSW ver2 then the OLED already came out but still I haven't come so far to buying one. I'm happy that I was just watching your videos just to satisfy myself looking on your NSW consoles. hope getting my 1st NSW next year.

    I love watching these so I know what you recommend playing and then I know what I might want to get. The video is very well organized. You talk about a game and give your reasons for buying it or avoiding it and then you move on to the next game. I like that it's quick because there might be a review you already made and I just need a quick reminder of the game. I like how you talk about different types of games. Like even though I can read a good story in a video game, it doesn't mean I always want to play those types. I do wish the video was released before Black Friday because I saw some games on sale I thought could've been fun, but I wasn't too sure about. It would also be helpful if you could make a Google Doc and share a link to it so I can remember your tips when I'm at the stores or when I'm making my own list. Thank you. I love your content. It's fun and good information. 🎄

He says playing games with his parents is his favorite thing in the world. So I figured why not get a game that requires to be played with 2 players :). Plus if any game would get his mother to move outside of the realm of first person shooter games, it'd be a game that requires 2 people lol

    Hey Wood, there's one (kinda big) thing that I noticed in the video: When you talked about Fire Emblem Warriors you mentioned how it's a new game and a spin-off of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. But the game you show on screen is the old Fire Emblem Warriors. I think you meant to put footage of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes in there! Always love your christmas buying guides, Wood. I don't get any real "use" or new information out of them as I'm not the target audience of parents that aren't very familiar with videogames but, like you mentioned, those videos always put me in a very festive mood. Christmas season starts when this guide goes up! ;)

    I think it is a bit unfair to tell people to avoid Digimon Survive, with your soul reason being it is a visual novel so "it's not good" You don't personally like visual novels, but that doesn't mean the game won't be enjoyed by people who DO like visual novels Also saying it is 95% visual novel is a bit dishonest. Once you get through the prologue the split is closer to 60%

    True. Even if it was a niche of a genre, it still had good content for digimon fans to enjoy. I know a lot of people were mislead by the marketing but if they make another iteration of a digimon game, hopefully they go back to turn base like cyber sleuth and hackers memory.

    @@borntokillzz they definitely will. Digimon games basically have 2 long standing series that have finally solidified into set gameplay styles over the last decade. Digimon Story is the name of the turn based style that they started with "Digimon Story" on the DS, which was confusingly called "Digimon World DS" in the west despite not being part of the world series. This is the series that the cyber sleuth games are part of, and we already have rumors of a new one in development. Digimon World was the first series, and it used to change gameplay style completely with each game, but starting with "Digimon World Re:Digitize" on the PSP, they settled on a consistent style similar to the first world game, which is a semi open world RPG with real time combat where you chear on and give commands to your Digimon partner, with a lot of systems designed around the series V-Pet origins such as needing to train your partner, keep them feed, and taking them to a toilet when they need to poop The latest World game is World: Next Order, which was originally on the Vita and PS4, and is getting a port for Switch and PC in February

    Minor correction: fire emblem warriors is not tied to the story in fire emblem three houses, that would be fire emblem warriors: three hopes. Fire emblem warriors has no ties to three houses and can be played without knowing anything about three houses. Fire emblem warriors three hopes is played best with knowledge of three houses

    Potion permit is pretty fun, I have it on PC and love it. It's a bit on the short side, but scratches the harvest moon/stardew itch. No farming, but plenty of harvesting stuff so you can complete requests and make stuff.

    I have to disagree about Digimon, I mean even on the trailer they advertise it as a VISUAL NOVEL with RPG elements and to be honest you got a ton of digimon RPG games, so it's good to see they're trying to do something new with the whole you got to survive this thing instead of the chill regular version. Definitely something to buy if you love Digimon and want something different and more mature.

I didn't know it takes two came out for the switch and my girlfriend didn't have a PC so perfect gift right there! Just hope she doesn't take it the wrong way based on the premise of the game haha.

Just an FYI - story of seasons is the original harvest moon c: U can google but essentially the game company in japan that creates them split, and they publish it in English themselves now, but the company that did “harvest moon” in English had the rights to the name, so now they have to release it as “story of seasons” now. Any harvest moon series on the switch r just lacklustre cash grabs bc they have the name. Theres a good yt vid on it c:

    Since I’ve been watching every video on this channel for a long time this list had no big surprises or things I wouldn’t think about and that’s ok. It means Wood does a really good job. Personally I wouldn’t put Eastward in the mustbuy of that price range. While it has a top notch presentation the gameplay is a bit all over. Difficulty can spike at times while other parts are fairly easy. The story didn’t grab me much. Which means I’m not very invested in finishing this game. Up until this point I want to really like it because of it’s style but it’s not there yet. Maybe it’ll surprise me when I get myself to continue. But it does look and sound really good. Overall this list looks really helpful for the intended audience. Happy holidays!
