Choosing Xbox Series X or PS5

If you like games where you sneak around you might like a genre called immersive sims. I can recommend Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Prey, and Dishonored which are all on PS5 (and included in the subscription). These games give a lot of freedom to use different play styles. You can pick different character upgrades and items to focus on shooting vs sneaking, for example. I like sneaking around in games, so I always pick that play style. You can even optionally complete the games without killing anyone, which I like.

Thank you for your suggestions. I got hurt playing so much, I did not know that would happen. So I have to wait a while. People have talked about being careful but I had been gaming just a week so I did not think I would have a problem so soon and I hear about people gaming all day every day. Maybe I am different.

You are having wrist or hand pain? That has happened to me from playing too much. I definitely could not play all day every day. Taking frequent breaks and daily limits are good ideas to prevent the problem. I like to set a 45 minute timer on my phone to remind me to take breaks.

I hope you recuperate quickly.

My left arm hurts badly. A pain from inside my elbow down to my wrist. My fingers are sore on both hands in the knuckles. I thought because the controllers lasted for hours on a charge and people talked about playing so much it would not be a problem. I was listening to one person say that when he was young he would not see the sun all summer.

If I feel better I will have to make myself play less. Thank you for giving me the idea of a time limit. I still feel like most people can play for hours and be okay. I wonder.
