Even as 2025 nears its end, December is shaping up to be a packed month for Xbox. Several new games joined Xbox Game Pass at the beginning of the month, but some titles, including Mortal Kombat 11 and Still Wakes the Deep, have also left the service. Beyond Game Pass, the Xbox Store has added new games available for purchase, such as Rhythm Doctor, a rhythm game that’s especially fun for players who like to team up.
The Elbaf arc in One Piece is revealing more and more about the character of Shanks. Years ago, the author, Eiichiro Oda, hinted that when the story begins to heavily feature Shanks, it would signal the start of the final saga.

A sad or tragic ending isn’t automatically a negative if it’s handled effectively. For instance, a character’s death can be meaningful if it’s a selfless act for the benefit of others. Regardless of whether an ending is happy or sad, memorable endings often stay with players long after they finish the game.

The attacks happened soon after Final Fantasy 14 released Patch 7.4, titled “Into the Mist,” on December 16th. This update concluded the popular Arcadion raid series and started the story for the game’s next big expansion. Patch 7.4 also added a Strategy Board to help players plan battles, and it made a major change to how glamour (character customization) works by removing most restrictions based on job, role, and level.
Both Banana Hell: Mountain of Madness, released in 2024, and its predecessor, Banana Hell (2020), were developed by Petriheart. However, neither game has attracted a large audience; the sequel actually has fewer players on Steam than the original. These games are similar to notoriously difficult titles like I Wanna Be The Guy and Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy, which intentionally create a frustrating experience. This naturally limits their appeal, as only a small number of gamers enjoy such challenging games. The developers are hoping a recent free promotion will help more people discover Banana Hell: Mountain of Madness and build a larger player community.
