Any recommendations for Christmas - Hogwarts, God of War or Uncharted?

Out of the 3, God of War. But Days Gone deserves your consideration without a doubt.

Edit - and it's far too cheap for the gaming on offer imo.

Of these three I enjoyed Uncharted the most, tbh.

Treat yourself and buy all three?

Uncharted has similarities to tomb raider but it's much more story driven. I'm really enjoying it, it's an incredibly polished experience.

Uncharted 4 yes.

I'd argue that 4 is better for people who were invested in the storyline already, but (sadly) we never got 1-3 on the PC.

However, if you go back to 1 it's very basic as it was a launch PS3 game. Nathan drake kills 100's of people in that game, it's insane.

So the point is, God of War (2018) is a reboot of sorts where you don't have to know about the previous games. Much better to play that than the 4th game in the series

If I remember correctly the first game also takes a really weird hard turn towards nazi occult horror towards the end too, it’s a weird game.

Have you played Cyberpunk? It’s a hell of a game now if you’ve either never played it or haven’t since close to release

Thanks. Again that was on the list as I don't have it - and now have the PC to run it. Was thinking I should wait to get the main game and expansion to play together.

I had my PS3 so did play and really enjoy the first three. Just great action, like we're in a film.

A big thanks to everybody. Just as I was again looking at the games to make the choice yesterday, my 20 year old daughter appeared next to me when I was on Hogwarts Legacy page - and told me she's been wanting to play that all year.

So I now have Hogwarts in my Steam library, I have to share it the three kids, but God of War is next on the list...and then Uncharted.

Good shout, Cyberpunk is in a good position now, after a well ropy launch.

I'd recommed buying both together.

Definitely! It's huge, and an amazing game after about 8 hours (I found the beginning a little linear and boring, but then it became amazing)

Always wanted to play GOW and Uncharted on the PC but the fact I've never played the prequels put me off. I wish they had them on PC.
