I don't have a lot of opportunity to play video games while school is in session, but there are a number of games that I am interested in playing.
With The Last of Us TV show playing on HBO, I've taken the opportunity to play through the original game--this time with the help of the Internet so that I don't miss any of the hidden documents scattered around the chapters. For those wondering, the show is remarkably close to the game with some scenes playing out exactly the same and others going in a different "what if" sort of direction. As much as I like the show, I still feel that the game is a superior experience.
Probably the most anticipated game in my house is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that's coming out on May 12th. I have a feeling that people are going to be fighting over who gets to use the Switch for a while after that game is released. I'm a little concerned that the game might try to do too much, but Breath of the Wild is still one of my all time favorite games, so I'll take any excuse to delve back into that type of game again.
Hogwarts Legacy has been on my radar, but because it is an open world game, I was planning to wait until this summer to play it (likely while other people are using the Switch). However, Connor couldn't wait for me to get it on the PS5 and instead bought it off Steam. Based on his, and other people's, impressions of the game, I think that I'm going to enjoy playing it.
God of War: Ragnarok came out late last year, but I knew that I wouldn't have the time to play it, so I also put off getting the game until the summer. I deeply enjoyed most of my experience in the last game of the series, and I heard that this game is more of the same. If nothing else, I'm looking forward to hearing Christopher Judge's amazing voice work again.
I'm kind of dreading Elden Ring. I already own the game and played it for about an hour, but I just wasn't hooked. I figure that I will get into it once I have the time (again, summer) to devote to it. It's just that I'm not looking forward to the punishing difficulty that the game is known to have--even if it is one of the highest rated games ever.
I'm also looking forward to playing more of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands with Rowen. The bit that we played over Christmas was hilarious in both gameplay and dialogue even if the split screen made it a little difficult to see. I told Rowen that I plan on playing more with him after the DDF season and Spring Break trip are over.
There are even more games (such as Pillars of Eternity) that I've had for a while and still want to play, too. This doesn't even count the numerous games (such as the Final Fantasy games) that I would like to play again, or the games (such as Starcraft II) that I keep going back to for more. Decisions ... decisions ...
