Free Christmas-themed game
Back Home for Christmas is a cute and cozy adventure game created by indie developer illumine. This game will have you help a lost penguin find his way home in time for Christmas. Along the way, the penguin will meet new characters that he needs to help. In turn, they will assist him in heading home. Back Home for Christmas comes with full-voiced narration, making it like a traditional Christmas story.
What the game offers
Back Home for Christmas is a family game to get players in the holiday spirit. The whole setting is very Christmas-y, atmospheric, and beautiful. It captured the look of a Christmas town, from the penguin to the lighting and the snowy map. What makes it more amazing is that the penguin and other characters leave traces on the snow. There will also be other characters that you will encounter as the penguin make its way home.
Unlike other casual games, Back Home for Christmas is fully voiced. Playing the game will be like watching a traditional cartoon Christmas movie because there will be narration throughout the game. However, you will notice that the narrator’s voice is sometimes drowned out by the background music. You can still make out what the narrator is saying if you are a native English speaker. However, it will be somewhat of a challenge to understand all of the narration.
Another thing to consider is the fact that the game hogs a lot of storage space. It requires a pretty powerful PC to enjoy the detailed visuals of the game. Also, the playing process is not that smooth and may cause your device to warm up and slow down at times. The game also comes with some bugs and issues that can sometimes cause it to hang.
Classic Christmas experience
Playing Back Home for Christmas is like watching a classic Christmas movie. The premise of the game is very story-like, which is made even better by the inclusion of voice narrations. The art style is also worth noting as it is very detailed, much like the movies. However, to ensure smooth gaming, you will need a powerful device to run it properly.
