Middle Aged Gaming 2020's the Game Show: Happy Thanksgaming!
We here at Middle Aged Gaming 2020 understand that family holidays can be stressful, and that is why we are here to help you get through it. Today's game recommendations follow the following three categories:
Games that Left you Stuffed - Games that left us with a feeling of satisfaction upon completion.
Post Poultry Party - Games to play with friends and family once the turkey has been devoured.
Leftovers - Games in our backlog that we've been meaning to get (back) into.
Crian's Picks
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor (Games that Left Us Stuffed)
Who doesn't love a good revenge story? Take on the role of a ranger gifted (cursed?) with immortality. This is a must-play for fans of Tolkien fantasy.
It can get a little violent, so it may be best to play this one after the hobbits go to bed.
Out of the Loop (Post Poultry Party)
Finally, a game about having no clue what's going on. How good are you at faking knowledge on a subject in which you have no clue?
And it gets even weirder when you have the power to manipulate time. Explore the butterfly effect our decisions have on events in "choose your own adventure" style... well... adventure.
Adam's Picks
Final Fantasy XV (Games that Left Us Stuffed)
Take on the role of Prince Noctis as you take a road trip on the highway to hell. Can you save the world from eternal darkness? With your best bros in tow, absolutely!
And no, you don't need to play the first 14 to understand what's going on.
Ultimate Chicken Horse (Post Poultry Party)
The family that plays together, stays together... or ends up killing one another.
Test those familial bonds in the fires of chaos and tomfoolery as you try to reach the flag while making the journey a real pain in the tuchus for everyone else.
But hey, we'll all laugh about it later... right?
Catherine: Full Body (Leftovers)
Do you have the logical skill to climb the tower of babel? Maybe.
Do you have the courage to discover the secret behind a string of mysterious deaths? Possibly.
Do you have the mental fortitude to deal with three jealous individuals vying for your affection? ... ehhh...
One this is for certain though. You're going to get very used to hearing the following phrase: "Undo! Undo! Undo!"
