Summary

• Cyberpunk 2077 offers stunning graphics and an interesting world despite a glitchy launch.
• Elden Ring's vast scope and challenging combat may be intimidating, but now is the time to jump in.
• Persona 5's lengthy gameplay requires a commitment, but its depth makes it a rewarding experience.

We've all ha♐d that conversation with a friend, where they recommend a slew of great games to us, and we nod along politely and promise that we'll get around to playing them all eventually. And yet, maybe because we were waiting for a discounted price, or we just never really felt l👍ike it, somehow, those games never end up getting played at all.

Take this list as a sign. If any of thes💧e 𓄧great games are on your to-be-played list, and you still haven't gotten around to playing them, now is the time. Here are some of the best games we never got around to playing.

10 𒊎 Cyberpunk 2077 🃏

And At Launch, Who Could Blame You?

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those games that had one of the most curs🐓ed launches of all time. Reviewers and fans alike were bemoaning the sheer number of glitches this game had. Some players even reported full-on crashes of their hardware.

For many of us, this was enough to get us to steer clear of the game for months if not ✃years, or even push it all the way to the end of our to-be-played list. However, with plenty of patches under its belt, 🥂Cyberpunk 2077 does feature stunning graphics, an interesting world to explore, and plenty of techno-punk vibes to last a lifetime.

9 Elden Ring 🔯

Some People Still Haven't, Okay?

On a personal note, I have a deep fear of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:big open-world games. Though Elden Ring is broken up into many different chunks, making it somewhat manageable, the sheer size and scope of this game were e♓nough to get me run✅ning for the hills when it first came out.

Plus, if you've never played a Souls-like gameꦐ before, the combat can prove challenging. However, with the release of Elden Ring Nightrein, there's never a better time to jump into the game that started it al🍌l. Just be prepared for a treacherous and extensive journey in the Lands Between.

8 Fallout 4

An Oldie, But A Goodie

I've been seei༒ng gameplay footage and walkthroughs of this gam💟e for as long as I can remember. However, Bethesda and I don't always get along. Plus, this is one of those games that gets recommended anytime you ask someone for open-world adventure games. It can't possibly be that good if everyone recommends it, right?

You could go back and play other Fallout games, but there's no doubt in anybody's mind at this point that Fallout 4 is the pinnacle of this franchise. Plus, with the release of the tie-in TV series, there's never really been a better🍸 time to see what all the fuss is about, especially ꧑if you've never played an open-world Bethesda game before.

7 Persona 5

Who Has That Kind Of Time?

Again, this is another game on this list that has me quaking just in terms of sheer length. Persona 5, on its face, might seem like your average 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:role-playing video game with flashy and colorful characters; however, in 🦂reality𓆉, this game is far deeper than it seems.

Depending on how much of a completionist you are, the game can easily take over 150 hours to beat. Even if you're not much of a completionist and just working your way through the main story, the full game can still take almost 100 hours. This is the kin🐓d of game you can only start if you're prepared to🔥 take a month-long vacation to finish it.

6 Control

A Hidden Gem

This is another great game that sat on my to-be-played list for far too long. Control has all of the compelling aesthetics, exciting action-adventure combat, and unique mechanics of a typical triple-A video game, but just far less hype. For a while, this game has also been on-and-off subscription services like PlayStation Plus and Game Pass, so it might even 🧜be free to play.

In this game, you take on the role of Jesse Faden, who is trying desperately to find her kidnapped brother. The game starts relatively grounded, but eventually takes you through a series of confounding and supernatural realms that feel really exciting and fre💞sh for a gunplay-based action-adventure game.

5 Tunic

Grab Your Pencil And Paper

This game made its way onto a lot of critics' must-play lists for how ingenious and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:inventive a puzzle game it is. However, some people got turned off by its seemingly derivative graphics style or ꦬthe fact that the puzzles were, in fact, quite difficult to solve.

If you've never played Tunic, but are looking for a challenging and compelling puzzle adventure game in the style of The Legend of Zelda series, this is the game for you. In this game, you take on the role of a small fox brandishing a sword and shield. You'll seek out pages from a lost vidꦍeo game manual to slowly unravel the puzzle of the mysterious iဣsland you find yourself on, only to discover that all is not as it seems.

4 Aꦅ Plague Tale: Innocence

Maybe A Little Too Real

This is a game that I had been meaning to play for a long time, and then, some global events distracted me from finally sit🧔ting down and playing it. Something about playing this game at the time felt a little too real, and wasn't something that many of us were interested in indulging in.

Now, with some distance, it's worth noting that A Plague Tale and its follow-up, A Plague Tale: Requiem, are two fantastic games with an extremely resonant and highly emotional story. These games are also great as they're not too long, eไspecially the first one, whic🦋h is only about 10-12 hours.

3 Returnal

Maddening And Madcap

This is a game that I've picked up and put down so many times I've lost count. Returnal and i🐭ts subsequently released co-op mode are two of the most maddeningly difficult games out there. If you like sprite-based particle effects, roguelikes, and thrilling combat, Returnal is the game for you.

This game gained a lot of traction early on in the PS5's lifespan thanks to it being one of the only PS5 exclusive gꩲames at launch. However, if you haven't found the time to sit down and play it out, now's definitely the time, as the graphics and combat of this game still hold up spectacularly years later.

2 ♒ Satisfactory

Scarily Addictive

I have a somewhat addictive personality when it comes to games, and love simulation and synergy-based strategy games. Satisfactory scratches all of those itches, and has been recommended to me more times than I can count. But, for fellow addictive-g𒆙amers, it's fair to say that Satisfactory is a bit all-consuming at times.

But that doesn't mean 🦂you shouldn't play it, and if you've been meaning to, it's worth saying that the systems in this game are fantastically complex and engaging. Plus, you can play it with friends, so maybe you can convince each other to set time limits and go touch grass every once in a while.

1 What Remain🥀s Of Edith Finch

Point-And-Click Fans, Rejoice!

What Remains of Edith Finch is one of those sleeper games that was recommended to me dozens of time💝s since its 2017 release. It's quick, but very emotional, and has a wonderful story. Finally, one day, I sat down to play it, taking only about two to three hours to complete.

But what a two to three hours it was. This game is incredibly captivating and can be played in the span of one afternoon. If you're looking for a way to kill a lazy ⛦Sunday afternoon and haven't got🃏ten around to playing this highly unique point-and-click adventure game, now is the time.
