Reader Discussion: Do You Mind Playing Big Games Back To Back?
In the last few weeks we have seen the release of a number of huge games all at once. Are you playing them in succession? Or taking breaks?
Horizon: Zero Dawn, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Persona 5 are all great, each requires substantial time to play, and all came out around the same time. Joe Juba heroically reviewed Nier: Automata (another good, but long game), Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Persona 5 all in a row, so when it came time to dive into The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, he decided he needed a break with a shorter game first, and started playing Night in the Woods. It makes perfect sense to me, but does it make sense to you?
Would you rather always be playing the biggest and the best? Or do you relish the occasional break? Let us know in the comments.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
