      1. There's something special about playing video games in the gap between Christmas and New Year. For this period, I tend to favour slower collectathon games that allow me to reflect on the year past and even to grieve.

      A few years ago, I had a very bad post-Christmas period when I found out my oldest friend was dying and was planning to go see him. I played the Spyro games remakes intensely for a week and it helped process my thoughts and my grief.

    This year, I'm playing THE PATHLESS and collecting every secret I can find in this lush open-world. I'm thinking about the 1.5 million preventable deaths we've seen this year. I'm collecting crystals and thinking about the unimaginable scale of death we've seen in 2020.

      For this period of the year, I don't want expansive stories or complicated RPG systems. I just want to wander a world and collect everything I can find.
