What good games to play for an older gamer?
I have a Nintendo Switch 2 and a bunch of Switch 1 games.
I ONLY PLAY SOLO and do not play online.
I am a much older gamer. About to turn 50 and loved all of the RPG games growing up like FF7 and Dragon Warrior, Zelda, Super Mario, Contra, Punch Out, etc.
As I have gotten older, I tend to like more action based not turn based.
Games I loved are:
Witcher 3 (absolutely my favorite)
Outer Worlds
Borderlands
Borderlands 2
All the Resident Evils (have not played Requiem)
Zelda BOW
Zelda TOTK
Metro 2033
Metro Last Light
Wolfenstein II
All Bio Shocks
Dark Souls
All Dooms
Dragons Dogma
Games that are good:
Mario Kart Deluxe 8
Borderlands Pre Sequel
Turok 2
Red Dead Redemption
Hyrule Warriors
Batman Arkham Asylum
Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
Madden 26 but too complex for my liking
Star Wars Knights of the Republic I and II
Star Wars Force Unleashed
Star Wars Republic Commando
Super Mario Odyssey (played half way through, got bored and sold the game)
Games I hated:
Batman Arkham Knight (I hate driving with cars impossible to control so gave up on the game almost immediately)
Turok
Zelda Skyword Sword
Star Wars Jedi Knight (I couldn’t figure out the controls)
Star Wars Racers
Assassins Creed Black Flag (found it boring and the mechanics are terrible)
Metroid Prime
Games I just bought but am either lost or bored after a few hours of playing:
Skyrim (Got past the Dragon and can explore everything but am at a Castle and got bored, stopped playing like a year ago).
Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy (Played to the first fight where it teaches you the different wand combinations and decided it was going to be too hard to remember so I stopped playing 2 months ago)
CyberPunk 2077 (I am lost after 3 hours and just finished the beginning. Almost stopped playing because the initial car is hard to control but stuck with it. I am currently at the APT and going to see if things get more digestible.
Last things to note. I have a really bad autoimmune disease that is causing me to lose feeling in my hands periodically so having to play games that require complex stick movements make me struggle. That’s probably why I don’t like some of the games I mentioned above.
Any positive comments are welcome. If you want to bash me, I will just delete and block you. I don’t have the desire to deal with negativity.
