Best Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I recently put in 13 hours or so into Imortals Fenyx Rising and it didn't click with me. So I was a bit disappointed and moved on to Prey. It's on gamepass so I said to myself, what the hell, give it a shot. Well 5 hours into it and I'm lost, confused, and overwhelmed by it and that's not fun imo lol. So I'm giving up on that. I've played a lot of games this gen but I know there has to be a few gems I haven't played. I need suggestions because I'm at a loss right now. I was tempted to replay Ghost of Tsushima or even TLOU2 but I think I want to wait for the next gen updates to tackle them again. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks guys in advance.

Mr.Vic20 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Is it safe to infer that you enjoy action adventure games that have upgrade systems? If so, Days Gone was a lot more fun than I expected it to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleG Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I would suggest sticking with Prey if possible but if you cant, try Dishonored 2 its DLC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Have you played Carrion? It's on Gamepass, it's not too long and I thought it was pretty cool. You get to play as some blob creature thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I’d play something short and chill if I was in your shoes. Maybe action heavy if you’re feeling it. That way you can complete it and have fun the whole time. Hades isn’t so hardcore with its upgrades that you get overwhelmed. Everything kicks ass. You can just pop in and have fun. If you want something even less involved, give Android Assault Cactus a go. It’s like if Sega made a dual stick shooter arcade game. Solid 5 hours of straight up action. Nintendo games would be a good option too. I’ve been playing Captain Toad lately as a palette cleanser. It’s very relaxed and just plain fun. Mario Odyssey is a great option as well, if you haven’t tried it. I think Edith Finch and Rime are good choices for short narrative games. Give either one of those a shot if you haven’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I’d be looking at a 5-6 hour indie release to mix it up. I love a AAA , but with the Switch it’s great to have smaller, more focused experienced as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a video review and it looks cool but I don't think I'd enjoy it's over the head viewpoint. I'm not a fan of the art style I saw, either. After doing some research, I think I'm going to play Doom Eternal when I get home. From what I read, it's one of the best fps ever made. I think I'll dig this.

ShreddieMercury Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 If you're looking at shooters on Game Pass, I would recommend Wolfenstein: The New Order. I liked it more than Doom + Doom Eternal, and it's got a legitimately excellent story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Well @Commissar SFLUFAN made an amazing recommendation with Doom Eternal! Played 3 straight hours and the time flew by. Amazing visuals, controls, smoooooth gameplay, and awesome upgrades. All of this happens so fluidly and with such a terrific pace. What a thrill ride so far. I couldn't be more pleased with a game right now. I can't wait to play more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I love 3rd person games too and if they allow a fp view that's the cherry on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 @BlueAngel I keep getting feeds of RDR2 on YouTube and it really has me wanting to go back and play again. I absolutely love that game and the world they created. I can understand your desire to keep playing now. Just imagine what Rock* will be able to push out on these new consoles. I mean it's going to be truly amazing. I'm thinking GTA6 in 2023 at the earliest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints Row did it years ago and still had full voice acting for multiple male/female options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
