I'll extend the deadline to express interest because people are oddly hesitant to read this thread?
Anyway, I'm obviously interested. I'll have my PS5 and probably my Switch at home over the holidays, or if I can't travel, I'll have access to everything I own but I'll be focusing on those consoles anyway!
Aww damn, that's not the game I put in the sealed envelope! It was probably my second guess though. I thought for sure you were going to choose Strider.
I thought about it! It was probably my second choice. But I think Strider is a merely good game that really worked for me personally, as opposed to Celeste which is just sublime.
I will say if you'd rather go with Strider instead (since I know you've played some Celeste before), it sure won't hurt my feelings. It was definitely a finalist.
If you go with Celeste, I won't make you beat the epilogue they patched in later, since even I haven't yet.

You know I can't say no to Celeste. Enjoy! 🏔

(I gotta do that!)
I'll just beat both.

I've started Abzu and don't really know what I'm doing but I am making progress. I enjoy it, too. This was a good pick as I've had it for years and just haven't given it a chance. My daughter plays it occasionally, but I never had. I'll probably complete it...I understand it's not too, too long.
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

So without knowing entirely how backloggery works, my suggestion for Merlin is to play the incredible Celeste, since it appears you haven't played it yet. Hope you enjoy it! And remember you can fine tune the difficulty to your liking.

So my pick for you is Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. There’s quite a few good games you had listed there - wasn’t an easy choice.
Almost surprised you didn't go with AC Origins! Though that would be a tough beat in only a month or so.
I considered it, but yes that game is hefty. I think you should play it but play it when you want to get to it. I was looking for something more consumable within a month than that, though. I strongly considered Alien Isolation, too, but wanted something a little more light-hearted for the holiday season.

Wow, that means Clay and Merl have already unwrapped their challenging gifts and the month has just begun!
I think we all did a great job of selecting some accessible morsels for each other. This is fun.

ALRIGHT, I finished Chapter 4 (Golden Ridge), the wind-gimmick level, after coming back to the game after a loooong break. I got 24/29 strawberries on that one, and I didn't see any others, so there were clearly some hidden passages I missed. I'll get back to that later.

I played some more Abzu tonight and had fun though I didn’t play too long. I think I’ll complete it after I beat it.
