Advice from urbanbohemian:
- It’s cliche, but "Have fun!" You can always practice and get better at any game, but if you’re not enjoying it there are so many other games and genres to discover.
- Take some time to pop on a headset and truly immerse yourself in a game’s soundscape: soundtrack, atmospheric sounds, even enemy and NPC callouts. It can elevate the experience and lead to a deeper love of the game.
- Keep an eye out for indie devs and studios putting out games in the genres you like, there are always hidden gems that might not be the most “competitive” titles out there, but those can quickly become favorites in your library.
