I share my steam linrary with my two kids. Gave them 200+ games. They still play Fortnite and Roblox because that is what their friends play. When I was young the biggest games were single player and you shared stories with your friends. Now you play with them online.

It really is crazy how much the cultural landscape of games has evolved over the past decade or so. I'll just be here playing classic singleplayer games until I'm old and gray like a boomer lol.

Ha! I guess I already qualify as a boomer. I'm 43 and been a gamer since the commodore days. I play everything that comes my way if time permits, from indies like islanders for a relaxing me time, to mega AAA F2P monsters like Fortnite to have a laugh with my sons.

At 43 I'm pretty sure you're gen X, not a boomer.

[–] panchzila@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh I'm aware of the true definition of boomer but for many teeanger if you are older than 25 you are a boomer.

I only play one online game (Dead By Daylight). Besides that it's all single player games (mostly JRPGs). This year: Secret of Mana, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Torna The Golden Country, and Tears of the Kingdom. It was a good year. About to start Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

DbD is my jam recently. Spirit is just too fun to play with all the mindgames you can do.

I play on the Switch (until cross progression becomes a thing) so playing killer is a nightmare. Survivor is fun though.
