I feel like I haven’t heard anything from younger genz about games outside of ‘streamer screamer’ game of the week.
Is there anything really new and unique?
Fortnite.
The current streamer fad game seems to be REPO; which looks like it’s just a knock off of Lethal Company, tho IMO it is a bit cuter with the way player character’s heads flap with your mic when you speak.
It’s all about the DOSbox, baby! Skibidi rizz, yeet yolo!
How do you do fellow human child
Lichess
As a 30 y/o myself, it feels like they’re still playing those games from 4 years ago: Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, Brawlstars. But they watch much, MUCH more AI Slob
Definitely way much more ai slob and brain rots
Attention span is so, so short now. Caught my kid playing Fortnite, then alt-tab to YouTube Shorts when they got killed. For like 10 seconds of downtime to respawn. Atrocious!
Imagine them being able to play cs and go a whole round after dying instantly to a one tap… kids definitely couldn’t handle it
That guy who one tapped you? Actually 8 years old
As a parent I can confirm this is true. Lots of AI slop. But probably even more weird, random, quick-fire meme shorts. Although those two categories are rapidly bleeding together into one massive clusterfuck.
My oldest frequently says “gen alpha is so cooked!” due to all the meme and AI slop. Which considering he is gen alpha is both insightful and disturbing.
Correct.
I’ve noticed a strong shift to brawl stars with one of my kids and their friend group.
It’s still Minecraft and Terraria.
You know, I would love for games to offer child only servers with the purpose of protecting children from pedophiles.
But also, for my selfish need to not have children ruining my games in first person shooters. 🤣
Pokemon?
I tried getting a 10yo kid playing the emulated version of Fire Red on his tablet. He thought it was too slow and just went back to Roblox
They’re getting bugs and keeping em in matchboxes, making them get on sticks and fight each other like Pokémon. It’s brutal out there man, kids these days are tougher than us
Free games like brawl stars, pirated minecraft, are way more popular than paid games like premium minecraft(at least in my country)
minecraft, roblox
I hear forkknife or something like that is popular.
My son plays Fortnite in addition to the other two. I don’t know of any other games that offer the wide choice and peer interaction that Minecraft, Fortnite and Roblox offer.
He mainly watches streamers who play those games
My daughter was showing me some of the games-within-games on Minecraft servers. It’s insane what people have made. And now Fortnite has racing!?
I hate this centralization of “all games in one”, it’s eerily similar to the centralization of the internet into the big social media sites.
It’s still Roblox
My son went from fortnite to project zomboid and rimworld, lately rdr and doom eternal. Sometimes terraria and minecraft, but rarely.
