Well, there's always PC gaming. It gets most non-nintendo games eventually.

If not, there's the switch which gets a lot of the games on the other systems but not all. It's also got the nintendo exclusives. And you can bring it with you on the go.

Sports games have changed and frankly I'd avoid anything related to EA. Kids might not like sports games either so if they are going to be sharing the console, keep their tastes in mind.

The usual suspects. Lol. The Last of us 1 and 2, Horizon zero dawn, and Horizon forbidden west, Ghost of Tsushima highly recommend! Nioh 1 and 2 are both fun fast paced fighting games with am awesome combat system. Demon souls remake for ps5 is absolutely stunning to look at. Those are my top dogs for sure.

Consoles. I figure my kids will figure out what they want to play once I get one. If I get one. I could see myself also playing to the point of my wife leaving me. I used to play the original world of Warcraft on a 4 person lan in college (late 90s) we’d play until 4 am. I could easily see myself having to budget my screen time.

I second the Sony Playstation. That's just where I jumped in and spent money in the play store.

Any console is great and hopefully the current gen if you can get it. I do like most of the Sony exclusive stuff but If I had an Xbox console I am sure I would be happy just the same. I will game on whatever I can get my hands on.

I would research the Xbox, and “Xbox Game Pass” which is in simplest terms, netflix but for games. You pay max $15 USD a month, and it lets you download games from a huge library. For that $15 a month price it’s also Not just for your Xbox but also pc games if it’s signed into same microsoft account.

Don’t hVe a good pc? Lol well that plan also comes with Xbox game streaming which basically means the game runs on a server somewhere else and you just send controller inputs online and it sends a video of the game back to you

There’s also cheaper plans if you don’t want the pc and game streaming version.

You can see the full library of games available before you sign up. So you can see if there’s enough stuff on there that peeks your interest

Coming from a household that has an Xbox and Playstation, there isn't a significant difference save a few first party titles. Playstation tends to veer more towards 3rd person, "cinematic" games (God of War, The Last of Us, Horizon, etc.) while Xbox focuses a bit more on shooters like Halo/Gears. In terms of raw power, PS5 is the best. They both over subscription services that allow you to download and play from a large library of games, but, I've seen more praise for Xbox's gamepass (and use it myself sometimes).

I'm a Sony guy myself, they have remarkable exclusives. Not big into online play myself really these days. I'm 45. Love single player games, those exclusives are mostly single player gems. Just my two cents on the matter though. 🙂
