December marks the arrival of Christmas, a season when everybody expects to have a gift of sorts. Gamers will also enjoy the year's end given the number of free games that will be available on different platforms. Right below is our list of some popular games that you will be able to play for free this coming December on PS Plus and Xbox Games with Gold.
Color Guardians
A world without color is no fun at all and the world of Terra Color is just that. As a black and white world, it became a hellhole that you have to restore to make it vibrant and alive once more by bringing back the colors. Color Guardians has more than 70 levels to conquer. Each level will be harder than the previous one and you have to be quick to think on your feet to swap out colors and avoid obstacles on the way. Color Guardians is available on PS Plus and offers a side-scroller gameplay.
Hyper Void
As a 3D shooter game, Hyper Void is another free title that you will be able to play this December in PlayStation Plus as long as you are a subscriber. Hyper Void's gameplay is all about you blasting enemies sideways and controlling the spaceship you are given. Make sure that you shot all your enemies way before they can get any close to you or you will be damaged. Hyper Void has many enemy types and you'll be able to meet each one as you move forward into the game. Better master your shooting skills and sideways move as early as now.
Invisible, Inc.
Invisible, Inc. is one of those charming games that you should try for a turn-based strategy game that focuses on rogue-like gameplay and stealth, hence the name. The story line of Invisible, Inc. revolves around an espionage agency attacked by several multinational corporations. As the player of the game, you have to become an agent handle and do covert missions all across the globe. Canadian developer, Klei Entertainment, did well with Invisible, Inc and even included fully-voiced cutscenes into the gameplay.
Outland
Outland is another title from the Xbox Games with Gold that looks a little generic for most gamers who wants plenty of challenge. This is because Outland's story line revolves around fighting off forces of chaos by using the powers of light and even the dark powers. But if you want platform games and you've always been into solving puzzles, then Outland is the best game for you to play. Besides, this Xbox title is not very hard on the eyes thanks to its striking visuals and art designs.
Outlast
Outlast is another one of Xbox Games with Gold that you can get for free this December. This is best suited to gamers who are into creepy video games. In Outlast, you will have to uncover the horrors surrounding the asylum as Miles Upshur, an investigative journalist. You won't have any weapons in Outlast but there are hostile patients that you will encounter into the game. Your best moves? You can just hide and pray that those scary patients don't find you or just run for your life.
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
The Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is one of the Xbox Games with Gold that will be available for free this December. With United Front Games as the developer and Square Enix as the publisher, you can be sure that Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is more than worth the gameplay. In this game, you will be Wei Shen, an undercover cop in Hong Kong tasked to spy local triad gangs. Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition looks fantastically real and has plenty of DLC missions so you won't run out of games if anytime soon.
Stories: The Path Of Destinies
Stories: The Path of Destinies is best for those gamers who appreciate role-playing games with plenty of action and stunning aesthetics. The main protagonist in Stories: The Path of Destinies is the ex-pirate Reynardo who found himself suddenly tasked with saving the whole world. Expect a lot of swordplay in the game - not surprising given the ex-pirate protagonist we have here - and plenty of story paths to explore until you reach the title's ending.
