These cheap Nintendo Switch puzzle games will keep you sane if you’re dreading the family get-together this Christmas

The Holidays are a wonderful time of year to unwind, forget about work or school for a bit, eat great food, and chill out with friends and family. Unfortunately, not all Christmas gatherings are made equal; sometimes, there’s only so much Scrabble or Monopoly one can play before losing the will to live, and everyone’s got at least one weird uncle they’d rather avoid.

Thankfully, I do have one recommendation if you want to while away the hours in peace over the Holidays. Developer Jupiter has been making cheap, content-stuffed Picross games for Nintendo hardware ever since Mario’s Picross on the Game Boy. Now, on Switch and Switch 2, Jupiter has a dizzying 20-plus Picross titles available to buy.
