My kids are 5 and 7. The 7 year old is able to do most of the game on her own but there are definitely frustrating sections for her. My 5 year old isn't shy about handing the controller to me when he needs help. I think 7 is a perfect age for getting into the game mechanics but the subject matter may raise awkward questions.
I've completed this game twice with my kids. By far the most requested game they want to play because of the coop. The subject matter might be a little deep for their age but the gameplay is stellar.
I just picked up Hogwarts Legacy on the recent PlayStation sale. Haven't made it too far in yet but I can tell this game will eat up some hours.
Elden Ring to get a new character ready for the DLC. Picked up Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga on a recent sale. Still only a few hours in so just now getting into some of the more complex squad builds. Seems like there will be tons of ways to customize the squads, I anticipate many more hours spent.
Been on a KeeperRL kick for a couple weeks but after this last loss I think I'm done with it for a while. Balatro has also been keeping me occupied. I just started a strength build in elden ring a couple days ago to get ready for the dlc. I made a mistake by starting NG+ on my first character and I don't want to try the DLC on even harder mode.
I picked up Dredge on sale a few weeks ago and got the platinum trophy recently. It's my first platinum trophy to ever get. The game was well worth the price even if I hadn't gotten it on sale.
Well maybe my school was the outlier that didn't have active shooter drills but that makes it even worse that it's been 30+ years and nothing has changed. It should NOT be normal to have to prepare elementary kids to hide from an active shooter in their school.
My kids' school recently had an active shooter drill like we used to do fire drills when I was a kid. They said they all had hiding spots to go to and they thought it was pretty scary. They're in elementary school. It's definitely not normal that instead of doing something about the guns we have to teach kids to hide from gunmen because that's just a legit possibility now.
The music shop at the mall near me had those headphones but only like 10 albums that were able to demo. And I'm pretty sure the demo was just bits of the songs. I definitely bought plenty of CDs having heard only one track or fewer.
Both of these games are so unique in their style and I love both of them. Great recommendations.
Looks like this is what I bought almost exactly 3 years ago:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler
I'm playing with a Ryzen 5 and a 970 and it runs pretty smooth on low settings. I'm not a graphics whore though so I don't mind the visuals on low.
Didn't even consider this one because I never left it. Having it on mobile means I'm playing it in way too many situations I shouldn't be.
I really want Armored Core 6 after seeing gameplay but my budget is tight right now. Also itching for BG3 but I have owned BG1 EE for years so finally playing that, and also just bought BG2 EE last night on steam for $6 so those will hopefully hold me over a while.
And then there's MK1 coming out soon but I know that'll eventually be packaged with all the Kombat packs for cheap in a few years so holding off there too.
I'm surprised to see Batman Forever has such a low score, I loved that movie when it came out. Granted, I was in middle school at the time but I've probably seen it a half dozen or so times over the years. I had no idea people don't like that movie.
Mike Tyson's Punchout. I still play it occasionally as an adult and it's still just as fun as when I was a kid.
