December seems lighter overall, but still some really interesting releases in this list.
Good overview, especially for seeing what’s worth checking out without digging through multiple sites.
Metroid Prime 4 and Octopath Traveler 0 in the same week is actually crazy.
I like these weekly roundups, helps keep track of smaller games I would normally miss.
Solid lineup for early December, nice mix of big titles and interesting indie releases.
