Stuck inside? Yeah me too. Some days I just lay under a weighted blanket and listen to Landslide on repeat. Games help. Until this pandemic took hold, I hadn’t made a dent in my backlog of videogames to play. Now they’re a bright spot in an otherwise dark time. Games can offer an escape that engages all your senses. They let you step into another world, if only for a little while.

Lots of great games from the last couple years are getting deep discounts right now, which makes it a great time to pick up a few you might have missed, if you’re able. That’s why I’m spending so much time dying repeatedly, forever playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Here are a few of my other favorites.
