Throughout all of December, Xbox One owners can grab QUBE 2, a first-person game that traps you in a series of puzzle rooms. To find the exit in any given area, you must interact with blocks of various colors, each of which grants you a different ability. In our QUBE 2 review, Alessandro Barbosa wrote that it's "ultimately a wonderful puzzle game that will often have you exclaiming in joy after solving one of its many riddles."
Free December 16-January 15 is Never Alone, a side-scrolling puzzle platformer that's steeped in the real-life traditions and folktales of the Iñupiat people of Alaska. Xbox One owners can also grab Race the Sun, an arcade-style endless flying game that's free between now and December 15.
Over on Xbox 360, between December 1-15, you can get Dragon Age II, an action-RPG that Kevin VanOrd wrote in our review, "makes a strong impression, pulling you through with the promise of another fun quest, another character to meet, and another beast to slay." December's final game is a 2005 shooter from the original Xbox called Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction; it will be available December 16-31. Both games are backwards compatible on Xbox One.
And if you haven't grabbed November's Games with Gold, there's still time to get Battlefield 1 and Dante's Inferno.
