Not sure what game to play next? Leave a comment, we’ll help

With so many games available at our fingertips — or in our backlogs — it’s sometimes hard to know what game is worth our time. Figuring out where to spend our precious free time can feel daunting, especially with more things vying for our attention. And if you’re busy with jobs, families, or other obligations, that free time shrinks even more.

But Polygon is here to help. Well, actually this week I’m here to help. During our weekly open thread, everyone is welcome to comment to ask for tailored game recommendations. Want a long game to tuck into during the winter? Or some way to test out a new genre you’re interested in exploring? Or a game perfect for chatting while playing on Discord? I’ll do my best to make recommendations no matter what you throw at me — and I’m sure other commenters will too.

How will this work? From 3:15 to 5:15 p.m. EST, I’ll be in the comments responding to any questions looking for game recommendations. If you’re looking for one, please share as much info about what you’re looking for as you can, including about what platforms you own, or if you have a subscription service like Xbox Game Pass.

And just so you get to know me better, my tastes span a lot. I tend to play a lot of single-player titles, mostly on PC or the Switch. I like both turn-based and action RPGs, some roguelikes, puzzle games, and a large smattering of genre-defining indies. I dabble in fighting games and deck-building (I finally uninstalled Marvel Snap so it would stop consuming all my free time). I’ll definitely play some things online too with the right group; Marvel Rivals is reminding me that Overwatch used to be fun. I’m also currently deep into my first playthrough of Death Stranding, and my most anticipated game for February is Monster Hunter Wilds.

So, what would you like to play next? Leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to find your next favorite game.
