Video Games I’m Playing
These days, I’m playing on either Nintendo Switch or PS5 with some Oculus Quest 2 (VR system).
God of War
PS5. Great game, satisfying combat, was obviously more groundbreaking when it came out than when I played it but a very good game nonetheless.
4/5
Metroid Dread
Nintendo Switch. Very difficult, quite scary, but very satisfying..
4.5/5
Octopath Traveler
Nintendo Switch. Incredible RPG. Great music, stories (8 stories, actually), and the visuals are very unique. Great gameplay as well.
4.5/5
Down the Rabbit Hole
Oculus Quest 2. Absolutely incredible game that utilizes the unique mechanics of virtual reality in brilliant ways. Tricia and I both love this game.
5/5
Vader Immortal
Oculus Quest 2. Trained to use the force and fight with a lightsaber by Darth Vader in virtual reality. Crazy.
4.5/5
Overcooked 1 & 2
Nintendo Switch. Extraordinarily fun multiplayer game for people who don’t like video games. My parents love this, and Tricia and I love playing this together.
5/5
The Climb
Oculus Quest 2. Very cool rock climbing game in virtual reality.
4.5/5
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The best game of all time. Enough said.
6/5
Stardew Valley
A much better version of Animal Crossing, but with people instead of animals. Great writing, gameplay, story, etc. The music is also incredible.
5/5
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
Pretty fun prequel to the best game of all time (Breath of the Wild). 1 vs 1000 kind of game, but fun for what it is.
4/5
Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Never gets old. In my top 5 games of all time.
5/5
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Really great during Covid, we’ve fallen off since. These kinds of games are great for escapism and relaxing when things are hard.
4.5/5
