Video games have come along way over the decades and have gone from niche hobby to full-blown mainstream activity. Almost everyone plays some form of a game or another. In 2018 almost everyone has some touch screen game on his or her cell phone or tablet. My girlfriend is not one of those people though. She is not opposed to video games but she never grew up with them. Once we began to get serious she wanted to participate. Jumping in with the right attitude is a great start, but some games come with a steep learning curve, so finding the right game can be the key to helping someone find a new hobby. For the purposes of this article we will be focusing on PC and console gaming. For this article I used my girlfriend as my test subject. She loves board games but rarely even plays games on her phone, so I figured she would be the best test case.
2LEGO Game
Like with Mario Kart I am including the whole franchise in this section. Picking a game really depends on taste: Marvel, DC, Lord Of The Rings, and Dimensions which includes all of the above plus Dr. Who, Ghostbusters, and a host of others. The games are written with the same tone as the film that came out and is full of humor and references that fans of all ages can relate to. The gameplay is a bit challenging at first for complete new players, but its controls are easy to learn and fun to master.
My girlfriend, as I am sure many others do, fell into the collection loop that many do. The humor in the game produced many smiles and hours of entertainment. This one was a bit more dependent on which characters she was interested in, but as stated above Lego has something for everyone.
