November is upon us, aka part two of video game busy season. That said, November is notably less busy than previous years and far less busier than October, which has been a relentless attack against the backlog of gamers on every platform. That said, whether you’re on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X|S, there’s plenty to play. To this end, it’s once again time to buy new Call of Duty and Mario games. Gamers can also look forward to revisiting Hogwarts, being Robocop, and killing Nickelodeon characters.ย
