Are you feeling festive at 15 degrees? We don't at all! That's why we've decided to compile a list of video games made in our gaming scene that will help us all get into the Christmas spirit. Well, let's start!

Riders Republic, Ubisoft

Worldly and ours, both warm and wintery, just like this weather. The game, which the Belgrade-based Ubisoft studio worked on takes you both windsuiting and snowboarding, so choose your mix of festive moods (New Year starts in the summer somewhere, right?). The only thing a holiday isn’t a holiday without are friends, and Riders Republic is the perfect multiplayer title. There’s also no holiday without a discount, so until January 5th you can get the game for 70% less! So, grab your virtual skis and off to snoooow!


Winter Magic Factory
, Pixquake

If you need a more explicit holiday spirit, local studios that make casual games got you covered! Pixquake offers three parent-friendly options, so it’s totally okay to gift these games to your PC mom/aunt/granny! We opted for Winter Magic Factory, a match-three adventure that takes you to Santa’s village but if you’ve always dreamed of spending New Year’s Eve in New York, maybe Winter in New York, a match-three hidden object adventure is your choice, or Winter in New York Mosaic Edition, in which puzzles are mosaics.


Santa Claus
, Peaksel

Around the holidays, the inner child also awakes, and Peaksel made sure that we satisfied that side of ourselves by playing their three kid-friendly New Year’s games. Santa Claus is most interesting to us, because who wouldn’t want to have Santa as a pet? If you are tired of seeing Santa in the same red and white outfit, play with his dress code in Santa Dress Up, and if this game awakens an even greater need to play with colors in you, there is also Christmas Color by Number: Pixel Art.


Yuletide Legends 3: Who framed Santa Claus
, Brave Giant

There is something mysterious about the Christmas (SGA writes while listening to Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker), and there is no better form for mystery than a HOPA game! Brave Giant takes you to a world where Santa Claus has been arrested, and the only hope to save Christmas is you! So download Yuletide Legends 3: Who framed Santa Claus quickly and find out who set Santa up because, who knows, maybe the same culprit signing off this Michaelmas summer. It’s time to find out!


Golf Club: Wasteland
, Demagog Studio

We certainly know that for some not getting into the festive mood is a conscious choice because they recognize the great mechanism of capitalism that feeds on it. If you want to play something that will help you get out of the consumerist rabbit hole, now is the time to get Demagogue Studio’s Golf Club: Wasteland, as it’s 80% off on Steam, and soon two more titles set in the same world await us: The Cub and Highwater! The holidays, after all, are not a bad time to take off the blinding pink glasses and look at the world around us.

There you have it, something to occupy yourself during the long, painful days off (we know, it’s hard for us, too 😉). There are definitely games for everyone’s taste as well as age made in our local gaming scene, so feel free to peek at the list of games developed in Serbia and we’re sure you’ll find one that is tailored exactly for you! 

Have a marry Christmas and a happy New Year!
