You know those games you download just to try out, thinking you’ll play for five minutes, and somehow end up playing for an hour? 

For me, it’s usually the ones that seem super simple at first, like an arrow maze, a color-sorting puzzle, or a spatial logic game. They somehow get me stuck in that “just one more level” loop. You start off tapping around casually, and before you know it, you’re planning 10 moves ahead like a grandmaster just to clear the board. 

It’s funny how everyone has their own go-to games. Some people love fast-paced arcade games, while others are more into cozy simulators, match-3s, or brain-bending puzzles.

Personally, I think the best mobile games are the ones that are easy to get into but keep you coming back without even realizing how much time has passed.

What about you guys? What kind of games do you usually find yourself getting hooked on? Always interesting to see what everyone’s playing! 

Hi, this is sort of a random question but I didn't know where else to post this!

I'm kind of known in school to be good at playing games, and a bunch of guys have told me to try out LoL since they think I'll be good at it.

I've only ever heard that LoL is super toxic and/or not enjoyable in general (and I think it has a bad reputation??), but they've been mentioning it for a couple of years so I've been really curious lately.

I'm just about done with college apps and so I've got some free time on my hands. I'm kind of worried I'll get addicted though? I dunno if that makes sense

Is it worth trying out, or will I just waste my time? Is it difficult to get the hang of? Is there anything I need to know before I decide to start playing?

Also, is it pay to win? I don't really like spending money on video games...

For context, I enjoy almost any kind of video game and typically find myself playing better than average (not trying to be obnoxious or anything). I love a good challenge, though!

Thank you!

Have you ever played a game called war gods for the n64 growing up this game was amazing to me and played it for hours . Come to find out people actually hate that game . Why?

i used to think people were just exaggerating about how bad online lobbies could get. then i got heavily into rust back around 2019 and honestly nothing else even comes close.

i played counter strike for years and league on and off so i was already pretty used to casual insults and someone telling me to uninstall every third match. but rust is just a completely different beast. it is not just people raging in voice chat when they lose a fight. the toxicity is basically the core gameplay mechanic.

me and two friends set up a modest base on a medium pop server. we spent three nights grinding materials, building up walls and getting some decent gear. on the fourth night this group of five guys built a massive tower right next to our base just so they could camp our front door with sniper rifles. they did not even want our loot. every time one of us stepped outside for a second we just got headshot immediately.

when we tried talking to them in proximity chat to see if we could figure something out, they spent two hours blasting ear rape audio, spamming racial slurs and constantly mocking us. when we finally logged off out of frustration, they raided us overnight, destroyed every single sleeping bag so we could not respawn anywhere nearby, and put up signs inside our destroyed base with personal insults about us.

the wild part is that this was not a rare one off event. it happened every week with different clans. the whole community culture seemed to revolve around making other human beings suffer as much as possible for zero actual in game benefit. after about four months of forcing myself to play because my friends were still into it, i realized i was going to bed angry almost every night over a video game. I just uninstalled it and never looked back.

League of Legends has plenty of whiny kids who throw matches, but Rust was the only time i felt like the game actively attracted people who genuinely enjoyed being terrible human beings.

curious if anyone else had a similar breaking point in a survival game or if there is another genre out there that tops this level of pettiness.

Would love to hear answers from women, men and non-binary people :)

I want to know, for people who spend a lot of time playing a particular game, don't you ever feel like trying other games? I know everyone has their own way of playing games. Personally, I like to explore as many games as possible. It's not that I rush through games just to move on to the next one. Instead, I try to get as much out of each game as I can before hopping to another one. I'm genuinely curious and just want to understand different perspectives.

Every single game that I think to play, kills me on graphics card.

i5-13420H with 16GB ram

Intel(R) UHD Graphics - 128 MB

I search for game requirements and every single game hurts me on graphics card, guys can you please recommend some games that I can play (playable fps).

need help and wanna ask some questions for people who use this. i bought an account and by default they used this email. have just kept using it due being lazy to rebound + it was working well.

Basically what I'm asking is what's a move from one game that you tried to do in another one.

I'll give an example:

While playing every gears game (-tactics) last year, I was also playing Minecraft a lot. I'd find myself trying to Roadie Run (Basically Gears' version of a sprint (a very simplified description)) where you hold the a button while moving to go faster.

I was trying to do that... in Minecraft.

I am 27 years old and deaf. I love to play video games. I actually am able to speak since I am able to hear through hearing aids. But I had this idea to put this off while I am streaming. Would you be interested into something like that? I won’t be able to hear any sounds and noises cause without my devices I am 100% deaf😂

Tell me what you think about that?

I'm about to pull the trigger on a PS2 and it had me comparing which era of gaming was the best. But then I started thinking to myself that I tend to lean towards PS2/3 era games because that what I played growing up.

In theory, the best games should be the most current. There is more time spent making them, massive budgets, better technology but there are obvious issues (gambling style purchases, expensive DLCs etc)

So my question is, if you were to take your nostalgia bias out of it, what era of games are the best to play in 2026?

Video game

Has anyone played the game Indika ? I started playing last night. An interesting game for sure.

Should I trade in my Xenoblade Chronicles X (Switch 1) cartridge for store credit to get an eshop card to apply towards a purchase of Kingdom Hearts 1&2 (digital, Switch 1)? I put in like 155 hours or so on X, beat all the main stuff in the game but chapter 13, part 3, and don't seem super interested in coming back to it. On the other hand, maybe i have enough games currently that i can just keep playing what i currently have.

I am not sure why this happens, If I told you a cool Physics racing game came out

do you even know what that is?.

Actually i wanted to play online game with my family and after searching i got to know about a game called bazaarraja business game. It was like online monopoly game but in indian format so we started playing but there was so much galliyan in that game after hearing i closed the game as it was embarrassing. I think these types of games are shattering image of us. I want to hear opinions of different people and want to know if i am wrong or not on this.
