November is wrapping up, but Thanksgiving is still to come in the States. Nintendo Switch owners can be extra grateful this week, as the handheld console is getting ports of the infamous Five Nights at Freddy's series, Zelda-like adventure Decay of Logos, and survival game Pine. PS4 and Xbox One gamers can get their hands on The Escapists Double Pack, which includes The Escapists 1 and 2. Indie darling Where The Water Tastes Like Wine is also getting console ports this week. Sorry, PC gamers--things will pick up for you in December!
Pine -- November 26
Available on: Switch
Pine is a survival game set in a world where humans are not at the top of the food chain. To protect your tribe, you'll have to craft weapons, trade goods, and befriend or betray other animal races as you journey to safety. Your actions have an effect on the world's ecology too.
The Escapists Double Pack -- November 26
Available on: PS4, Xbox One
Both of The Escapists titles give you the same task: escape from prison. Doing so requires a combination of planning, crafting, sneaking, and working together with your fellow inmates. The second game lets you do all that with friends in co-op, too. It also goes beyond earthly prisons, asking you to escape your cell in crazy locations like a moving desert train, a snowy mountain, and even outer space.

Decay of Logos -- November 26
Available on: Switch
Taking cues from The Legend of Zelda series, Decay of Logos is full of dungeons to explore, puzzles to solve, and a variety of weapons and magic to try out in combat. As you journey to fight the Crimson Knights, you'll ride atop your elk companion. The more you learn about the world, the stronger the bond with your elk will grow.
Five Nights at Freddy's 1-4 -- November 29
Available on: Switch
The Five Nights at Freddy's games are pretty ubiquitous at this point, but here's the elevator pitch: terrifying, malfunctioning animatronic mascots are out to get you. Thing is, they can't move if you're watching them. You'll have to juggle security cameras and lock the doors if you hope to survive the night.

Available on: Xbox One, Switch
Where The Water Tastes Like Wine is set in the United States during the Great Depression. As you travel around the country, you'll encounter a cast of intriguing characters--though not all of them are even human. Each has a story to tell, and the more you talk to them, the more they'll open up to you about their history.
