Video Games Perfect to Play on Holidays

The vacation season is the perfect time to catch up on gaming or take some title with you on a vacation trip. Spice up both the holiday itself, when nothing more interesting is going on at the moment, and the sometimes lengthy trip.

Disco Elysium on a beach – because where else?

Genre: RPG

Platforms: Switch, Steam Deck

Price: $40

The beach is crowded, but you have a way of ignoring it. You wall yourself off with windscreens. Nosy tourists can't be bothering you while playing Disco Elysium. Why this game? Is there a better way to philosophize than while lying in the sun at the seaside?

It's obvious that these are the perfect conditions to solve a crime and deal with the consequences of your decisions. Getting a good workout out of it is also possible even without combat in the game, because the plot twists, combined with sunshine, will really make you sweat. In the meantime, you will be able to explore the nature of good and evil, experiment with crime and punishment, and ponder on a few ideological questions.

Disco Elysium runs like a charm on Steam Deck and will make the gears in your brain grind at full speed. Assuming, of course, that you like the kind of intellectual entertainment that can successfully replace a great book.
