There’s a rather vocal section of the internet that, each year, proclaims Die Hard to be the best Christmas movie of all time. It makes one wonder what the best Christmas video game might be, if you like your holiday cheer mixed with a little bit of crime drama and violence, boy is there a game for you. Plenty of video games play around with wintery and holiday settings, but only one lets you dress up as Santa and turn a street thug into a snowman. Yakuza 5 fully embraces its Christmas setting but it’s so much more than that; the game’s narrative themes of providing for your family hit right to the heart of the holidays.
