So, Christmas is practically breathing down our necks, right? And everyone’s buzzing about what they want Santa to drop down the chimney. I got curious, especially about the gamers in my office. Like, what PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games are they dreaming of unwrapping this year? I decided to ask around, both the editorial team and the e-commerce gurus, basically everyone here at Xataka and Webedia, and let me tell you, the wish lists are intense.
A Blizzard of Blockbusters
Seriously, it’s like a gaming store exploded in here. The variety is mind-blowing. Some are pining for sprawling open-world adventures, others are craving the adrenaline rush of competitive multiplayer. There are whispers of revisiting beloved classics, and a palpable excitement for the latest cutting-edge titles. It’s like trying to pick a favorite snowflake in a blizzard – impossible!
One colleague, let’s call him “Mr. Speed Demon,” is absolutely dying for Gran Turismo 7. He talks about the realistic physics and stunning graphics like they’re the keys to the kingdom. He says it’s so immersive, it’s like actually being behind the wheel of a supercar. I mean, the guy practically vibrates with excitement when he talks about it. Makes me want to take a virtual test drive myself!
Then there’s “Ms. Action Hero,” who’s got her sights locked on Horizon Forbidden West. She’s already played the first one like a hundred times, so this sequel is like the Holy Grail for her. She keeps raving about the breathtaking landscapes and the epic robot dinosaur battles. Sounds pretty awesome, right?
Indie Gems and Cult Classics
But it’s not all about the big-name blockbusters. Some folks are hoping for something a little more… off the beaten path. One guy, let’s call him “Mr. Indie Darling,” is hoping for Sifu. He says it’s like a kung fu movie you can play, and he’s been obsessed with martial arts flicks since he was a kid. The art style looks seriously cool, kind of like a moving painting.
Another colleague, “Ms. Nostalgia,” is yearning for a remastered version of a classic Final Fantasy title. She says it’s like revisiting a cherished childhood memory, but with a fresh coat of paint. I get that. Sometimes you just want to go back to a game that feels like a warm hug.
The Waiting Game (and the Envy)
So yeah, listening to everyone talk about their dream PS4 and PS5 games has definitely sparked some serious gaming envy. Suddenly, my own wishlist feels… inadequate. It’s like staring into a toy store window as a kid, your nose pressed against the glass, overwhelmed by all the shiny possibilities.
Now, I’m spending my evenings scrolling through game trailers, lost in a world of pixelated possibilities. My current wishlist is a jumbled mess of RPGs, platformers, and racing sims. It’s like a digital buffet, and I’m starving. I’m even starting to think about hinting to Santa… maybe he’ll take pity on a gamer in need.
A Festive Feast of Games

And after hearing all these passionate pleas, I’m more excited than ever to see what Santa brings! (And maybe snag a few rounds myself.)
