The holiday season just got a whole lot merrier with the release of The Elf on the Shelf: Christmas Heroes, a brand-new puzzle-platformer that brings the beloved Scout Elf to consoles and PC for the very first time. Developed by Casual Brothers Limited, the same talented team behind The Grinch: Christmas Adventures, and published by Outright Games, this festive adventure builds on everything that game did well—and improves upon it in nearly every way. After spending time with it, I can confidently say: this is my new favorite Christmas video game.
