It’s that weird time of year when it isn’t Christmas except everyone thinks it’s OK to play Christmas music (it isn’t, by the way). Before you get inundated with new games from gifts and Steam sales, here were some of our favourite games from November.
Pokemon Sun and Moon
We enjoyed taking a tropical holiday to catch a lot of cute monsters. Check out our tips if you’re trying to be the best like no one ever was.

I was so skeptical about FFXV, but having just stayed up until 2am playing it and hanging out with my anime boy band I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised.
What were your favourite parts about FFXV?
I loathed FFXIII, and have been quite sceptical about this release as well, so I’ve been holding off.
Bear in mind I am not that far in (maybe 15 hours with a lot of dicking around on side quests):
What I enjoy about it is:
– The pace is very chill and the world is fun to drive around and look at.
– There is some genuinely stunning scenery around, when you drive into the main open world area for the first time it is a fantastic experience.
– The core characters are pretty great.
– The combat is heaps of fun, pretty responsive and looks amazing when it works (ie you are not in trees).
– Anime: The Video Game.
– The story isn’t super strong, but it’s an open world game and the general experience is making up for it in my opinion.
What I don’t enjoy:
– The combat is terrible if trees are involved.
– The side quests are starting to feel tedious, but I understand that the fetch quests lead to better stuff so I will persist. They’re not wholly bad though, just a bit samey. It’s smarter to not run around not doing them and “accidentally” get them done while out doing other things.
– Anime: The Video Game.
– Titty mechanic.
