December is usually one of the quietest months for game releases which is a great time to catch up on that pile of shame you’ve been neglecting. Despite that, there is a great number of games being released this December. My top picks of the month are The Callisto Protocol and Crisis Core –Final Fantasy VII– Reunion!
Here is a look at 6 games I’m excited for in December.
The Callisto Protocol
Set on Jupiter’s dead moon Callisto in the year 2320, The Callisto Protocol casts players as Jacob Lee, an inmate in Black Iron Prison. When a mysterious outbreak throws the moon into chaos, Jacob must face his darkest fears to defeat the bloodthirsty creatures that stalk him as he unravels the dark mysteries at the heart of the powerful United Jupiter Company.
