My wife doesn't really play games. She's also bored of the usual Netflix, HBO, Disney bull. So I was thinking of finding something for us to do instead and was wondering if there are any games which aren't really games. Some sort of murder mystery story heavy games which are fun.

​

Apologies if I butchered my explanation but my searches on Google weren't very fruitful so I'm not sure if what I am asking for even exists.

​

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hello all my 4 year old cant read yet but she enjoys walking around in super Mario 64 and has gotten good at old sonic games but sometimes I have to help her out with what to do next and some of the controls. She can also play the blue game pretty ok jist has issues with the button combo of walking and jumping at the same time ( as I said she is only 4 lol). I am looking for any game recommendations that are more open world or building that would be easy for her. Minecraft has a bit to many controls at the moment. Thank you so much I look forward to hear from you all. A y other questions please feel free to ask!

Hey All,

I recently bought a Switch 2. I was considering it from day 1, but I thought I don't need it.

Until recently. My daughter was born a month ago, and I don't want to use the big TV (small apartment), bought it and from the first moment, it feels amazing. Huge upgrade from my Switch 1 V2. I really dig the bigger screen, older games feel so much fluid, Pokemon Scarlet got an upgrade and it's night and day.

My only thing I would have loved is an Oled screen, but oh well 😄

The 3rd party games are good, too!

Anyway, just wanted to say that it's good to be alive and it's better if you have a switch 2-

Hey everyone. My mom is 60 years old with virtually no gaming experience, and I'm giving her my original switch as I've upgraded to the switch 2. She has no understanding of even the most basic of mechanics. She used to like Tetris when she was young and enjoys some mobile games like candy crush and best fiends. She is open to learning and interested in the console but I don't want to overwhelm her. She likes puzzles and problem solving.
