But none really get me in the Christmas spirit the way movies or music do.
It’s the same when I watch A Muppet Christmas Carol, Little Women, or Remember The Night.
They all have the feeling.
Now, Astro Bot has joined the party.
Then we got our hands on it, and even the coldest hearts were melted by its sweet nature.
It leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
It feels, maybe a little, like Christmas.
The spirit of the season needs to be backed up by something tangible.
Or rather, it was.
Astro Bot Has Us Walking In A Winter Wonderland
This is not just another winter level.
This is truly, utterly, a Christmas level.
Astro Bot got us the gift gaming has badly needed.

When you fly into this level, Santa soars alongside you, reindeer pulling his sleigh.
The level platforms themselves are decorated in red, green, and gold, wrapped up like presents.
The buildings are gingerbread houses decorated with candy canes.

There’s a Christmas tree at the level’s centre, topped with a star and decorated with baubles.
This is where the comparison to movies comes back in.
Bad Santa is clearly a Christmas film, but it doesn’t make me feel Christmassy.
I’m probably going to play Astro Bot’s level each year, just because.
Every year when we decorate our tree, we put A Muppet Christmas Carol on in the background.
But Astro Bot is the sort of game I’ll probably keep installed forever, just because.
And now, I’m going to play it over at Christmas.
You know, just because.
