It’s probably a cross between not as bad as you think and exactly as bad as it sounds— a bit more about managing expectations and hoping that you can pause during cut scenes

The next bad thing is now I’m apparently also old so I can start falling asleep at 11ish :-/

Personally I apply the pomodoro technique to my gaming and use features like quick resume to play really long games in short intervals

Switch controller hands down— the drift is annoying, but the worst is when half your controller just disconnects

I think elder scrolls online has 4 player dungeons but questing can mainly be done in a large group

I’m in persona 5 royale whenever I’m solo and just finishing up season 1 of Diablo 4

Persona’s really, really big (based of persona 4 I thought I knew when it would finish, but my guess was way off) and diablo’s doing a good job of being “video game golf”

Hey now, I’m in Diablo 4, with a dash of Texas chainsaw massacre, while trying to play through persona 5

Played it on Xbox yesterday— reminded me of the good times in Friday the 13th, looking forward to playing more so I can figure what everyone’s supposed to do

I dug my time with it, but I thought of it as more of a roguelike telltale game — heard it really shined if you played it through multiple times to see all the scenes, started doing that, but just couldn’t after running into my first repeat sequence

Oxenfree’s another highlight and they just released a sequel it seems like no one knows about

I just remembered Netflix includes a bunch of worthwhile mobile games if you’re into that

Actually, if you have Netflix, there’s a decent number of good mobile games through that

Warframe’s my example of free to play done well, can’t wait to jump back in when it goes cross save

i think its a low barrier to entry which means the app stores are flooded with crap. i’d probably suggest avoiding mobile exclusive games by default

always way too many to list without some guidance on what you’re looking for(!)

worth mentioning guacamelee 1 and 2 (notable indie metroidvania games ) are currently free on the epic store: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/guacamelee-stce-7cdbc8 https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/guacamelee-2-ac4977
