It feels like only yesterday we were in the thick of the fall release calendar being bombarded every other day by a new blockbuster or sleeper indie hit. November is slowing things down a bit, but it’s not quite backlog month just yet. A new Mario & Luigi, Flight Simulator, and Lego game headline a month of stuff hitting just before the holiday rush.

We were originally getting Assassin’s Creed Shadows in November, one last big RPG for fans to sink into before the end-of-year slump. Instead, Ubisoft pushed that to the February gauntlet, giving Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Metaphor: Refantazio, and people who somehow still haven’t finished Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth (that’s me!) a much needed reprieve.

Instead, this month is shifting gears firmly into family game mode. In addition to a light Mario Bros. adventure and Microsoft’s ā€œsorry, dad’s in the middle of a transatlantic flight out in the garageā€ simulator, we’re also getting a Lego Horizon Zero Dawn adaptation and TMNT brawler just in time to occupy all those cousins after the Thanksgiving buffet. Here are 19 games we’re paying attention to this November.
