As you all are very well aware, I am a very young gamer (relative to the users on this site, at least… 23yo really isn’t super young by internet standards). Only having started this hobby in 2017—though having remained almost strictly on Nintendo Switch between the years 2017 and 2022—it goes without saying that I’ve got a lot of catching up to do... in fact, I have so much catching up to do that I feel overwhelmed. And with the flood of high quality releases dropping literally every *week* (Rubato, Crimson Desert, Escape from Ever After, Resident Evil Requiem, Pokopia, Darwin’s Paradox, Mario Wonder DLC, Mewgenics, Mario Tennis Fever, Xenoblade X NS2 Edition… FFS it’s only been three months!!), I genuinely feel as though I am drowning.
And with so many more games to come and so many I long to play for the first time (Kirby ATFL, Zelda OoT/LTTP/TP/SS/GBA/DS, Mario Sunshine Eclipse, DKBananza, DKCountry 2+3, Banjo Tooie, literally ANY PlayStation game other than Astro or TLOU, etc.), how on earth do you all cope with this?
I genuinely wish I could just sink all my gaming time into a small handful of open world, comfort games like BotW/TotK, Elden Ring, The Witcher 3, Pokopia, etc., but I feel like I’d be missing out on so much.
