I just bought Nier: Automata but it's not my cup of tea. There are several games, though, with great deals. Had Guardians of the Galaxy, Dishonored 2, Sid Meier's Civilization VI, the Mafia Collection, Sekiro, Elden Ring and Spider Man begging me to buy them, but I don't know what to buy. Maybe I'm too old for this.

I enjoyed the original The Last of Us and story-driven games, but I'm not strange to the Souls games (loved Bloodborne), or even strategy games like Xcom. GTA-like games are attractive to me too, particularly Red Dead Redemption. Any thoughts, recommendations?

    Sekiro is like the best sword fighting game. Like other fromsoft games it expects you to meet it on its terms. Unlike their other games you can't really level your way past problems. Some people don't like that. I love it. Mastering the boss fights is incredibly satisfying. The first serious boss fight took me all day the first time, but now I can do it without getting hit.

    Elden Ring is very big and open, but has many options to make it easier. Leveling up, summoning help, summoning NPC help.

    How far into Nier Automata did you get, may I ask? It could be worth sticking through past the credits. It's one of those games where the side quests actually add to the experience, as well, so if you're not doing those you're missing some of the philosophy.

    I know that's a lot of work to enjoy something, though, and that's not everyone's cup of tea!
