Hope no one minds me asking here, but does anyone have any suggestion for games on sale that a 13 year old boy might like? Need a cool uncle gift for the nephew
Edit: thank y'all for the replies!
Teardown might be a good one.
Make a family and add them to it. They'll get access to your entire library. As account manager you can hide any games you think are inappropriate.
I'm sharing with my brother who has 4 sons and it has been great for everyone.
You can do that‽ Oh hell yeah. Cool uncle status achieved!
I love how they changed library sharing, too, so group members are only accessing individual games rather than entire libraries.
Any hints what kind of games they're into? Racing, sports, shooters? My nephew mostly plays fortnite, he's easy and happy with vbucks.
Honestly? Not really. I haven't seen them in about 4 years, and the last I really checked in one was super into reading fantasy novels and the other one like Lego. Lol. They're family friends, not children of siblings.
Because of the fantasy novels I have to recommend Pyre. I’d recommend all Supergiant games to anyone, but Pyre is a special work of art with fantastic writing and unique gameplay. If he really likes fantasy, he should love it because I don’t at all but I did. It’s presented in visual novel style with action “combat” segments.
Deadcells is one I enjoyed and my brother enjoyed. Lots of content and very fun.
Dead Cells: The leading cause of gamepad breakages among PC players. 9 out of 10 ninjas agree.
Satisfactory. If they like Minecraft they'll like this
Here are some cool/memorable games:
Risk of Rain 2
Need for speed heat is like 4 bucks, as a former 13yo boy I woulda liked it
