Shop Watch December 2025

Sorry, I was playing Demonschool.

Truth be told, lots of people should probably be playing Demonschool. It’s really fun.

Demonschool released digitally mid-November and captivated me right away. It looks like the first three Persona games before the series reinvented itself with Persona 3 (Persona 2 having been split into two parts). It plays like a chess-based strategy game where each battle has turn-limited goals to kill a certain number of enemies, but also preventing the enemy from reaching the player’s end of the field. Players must also reach the enemy’s end of the field to close out each battle. It’s fast-paced, fun, and players can restart any battle they are currently fighting up until the victory menu is closed out.

It’s got fun dialogue and combat, and the game’s fast travel map keeps players aware of every possible event in the game. The only downside is a few bugs which skip animations and once; a skill.

Most of December’s releases are re-releases, with the exception of Octopath Traveler 0, and even then barely. The game is a remake of the of the free-to-play Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent and removes a lot of elements inherent in mobile games such as gacha while expanding voice-acting and tying character unlocks to story progression.

The rest of month has the following releases:

  • Final Fantasy VII Remake/Rebirth 2-pack Dec. 4 on PS5
  • Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII Remastered Dec. 9 on Switch
  • Final Fantasy IX Remastered Dec. 9 on Switch
  • Anima Gate of Memories 1&2 Remastered Dec. 16 PS5
  • Darkest Dungeon 2 Anniversary Edition Dec. 19 PS5 and Switch.

Keep safe and warm this year.
