What games to play?
Hello everyone. I wanted to explore some new games and search for recommendations. It took a while to find suitable options, but after trying them out, I can share which ones I personally enjoyed. If you're searching for well-reviewed games, this thread is perfect for you. I've checked various websites and, to be honest, I prefer suggesting games myself. Personally, I think Among Us stands out as a great choice for players of all ages. Cyberpunk 2077 is also entertaining, though it can be a bit expensive. I played Animal Crossing, which is enjoyable but might lose interest over time—just my opinion. Rainbow Six Siege is fun, but team coordination is key; otherwise it can be frustrating. My top four favorites are listed in the search results, and I checked sites like Ign and Gamespot, which all seem to agree. I hope this helps and keep sharing useful links. Peace out.
I have a strong affinity for racing and car games.
My initial racing title was Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005, I really enjoyed it.
The ability to personalize cars and adjust their performance to your preferences was impressive.
Additionally, the storyline with short cutscenes was quite engaging.
The only drawback I experienced was difficulty catching fast cars, as it became very challenging to attract police attention.
Also, completing the assigned bounties could take a significant amount of time.
My second favorite game was Minecraft.
I don’t feel the need to elaborate on that.
The third one is GTA.
I played GTA San Andreas, GTA IV, and GTA V.
What I appreciated most about those titles was the extensive freedom they offered.
The option to engage in street combat was particularly appealing.

My top two choices were Minecraft and GTA. I played GTA San Andreas, GTA IV, and GTA V. What stood out to me was the vast freedom they offered. The idea of shooting on the street and instantly flying a plane fascinated me, among other things.
For my fourth pick, I also enjoyed Need for Speed.
The third one was Grand Theft Auto. I played several iterations of the series and appreciated the open-ended gameplay, especially the ability to shoot people on the street and quickly travel by plane. Many others shared this enthusiasm.
For my final recommendation, I’d say it’s another Need for Speed title. I’ve spent a lot of time with NFS 2005, NFS the Run, NFS 2012, NFS Rivals 13, NFS 2015, and the latest NFS Heat. It’s clear I’m hooked.
With NFS 2012, I’m puzzled about why so many people dislike it. Despite my strong feelings, I genuinely enjoyed the game, particularly the car sounds. While visual customization wasn’t my style, the concept of driving incredibly fast through narrow streets was captivating. The game’s mechanics made it easy to catch up with police, no matter the vehicle you chose. You could drive a Koenigsegg at 450 km/h and still see a Ford Crown Victoria nearby in seconds. Finding random cars on the street to drive was also exciting.
With Rivals, I believe it’s one of the best multiplayer racing games ever made, and it surpasses even Hot Pursuits. The graphics were impressive for their time, the drifting was imperfect but entertaining, and switching between racing and police driving added to the fun. The only downsides were the lack of visual customization and the desire to see police cars available in a racing mode, especially for Murciélago. However, I doubt EA will revisit that idea soon.
NFS 2015 felt more like a vibe overall. It took some time to get used to the drifting mechanics, but the speed boosts were satisfying once you mastered the corners. The customization options were solid, and the graphics were nice. It was a bit frustrating to see little rocks in the desert on the map, but that’s a minor issue.
Regarding NFS Payback, I felt like I was in a Cars 1 Disney movie. The desert setting was cool, and the customization options were impressive. The main complaint was the difficulty climbing small rocks in the desert, which I felt was a missed opportunity. I’d love to see more police cars available in the RACER mode.
NFS HEAT was impressive. The storyline and customization were great, and the multiplayer was well-executed. The races were organized, the map stunning, and the drifting system needed improvement—requiring drag tires and live tuning. Overall, it was a standout title.
I also enjoyed other games like Far Cry 5: Coop with a friend, Fortnite nonstop as a teenager, and CS:GO. It’s a game that can be challenging, especially with team play, but it keeps you engaged.
Rocket League was another favorite until I tried competitive play. Playing 2v2s with a friend, we reached platinum 2, but he stopped playing afterward. I wouldn’t bother with 1v1s anymore if you lose the ball once.
These experiences shaped my preferences, and I’m excited to see what’s next.
