Tis the season where lots of people have a little extra time with the family or just to chill. In our downtime at my MlL's my son and I are playing some games. He's nine so we play lots of couch co-op type games together. What are you playing and how are you doing it?
Here's our current pics:
Together - Couch Co-Op is our favorite type: Right now, we play a lot of Duck Game (fast paced, game involving a bunch of retropixel ducks shooting each other with a variety of guns) and Very Very Valet (you valet park cars in all sorts of crazy ways). Both cost <$10 on the PC and well worth it (would easily run on a Switch).
Kid by Himself @ Home: He still likes minecraft but also really liked Wobble Dogs, a game where you breed synthetic dogs by traits into all sorts of wierd creatures.
Kid while Travelling: I dunno if anyone still plays Pokemon Go but my kid enjoys it. Its a good way to keep him walking places. If we need to distact him somewhere and he's less mobile (say in the car for a long ride), an old Pokemon game (like Emerald from the GBA) running on the Miyoo Mini Plus has been entertaining for him as well despite the primitive graphics.
Me by Myself @ Home: I recently finished up Deliver us Mars, a pretty, story driven 3rd person puzzle game that wasn't very hard. i think this one came for free from Epic Games and plays well on GeForce Now so good for travelling. Interesting story but not very challenging. Easy game to play so nice and relaxing. After that, I booted up Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (also on GeForce Now using my laptop as the client). The loud Saves told me that I last saved the game in 2016 (which my records show I picked it up for $6.59). I think It got it after getting its sequel The New Order for free and beating it. ToB is still pretty good looking but definitely feels like slog sometimes: you enter an area, sneak around trying to eliminate commanders. If/When you mess up, all hell breaks loose so you just open up with all the guns you are carrying around. You then repeat this for the next area. The one funny thing I've found is that the original Wolfenstein 3D levels are replayable in all their classic graphics (but with yourself in your modern form) as fever dreams because someone who causes this much death and destruction (even to shitty occult Nazis) is carrying around some baggage. Not 100% sure I'll finish it.
