I know many adults who think video games are just for kids or say there just aren’t enough hours in the day to make time for playing. After gaming for most of my 40+ years on this earth, I can say they’ve helped not only my mental health, but also my brain function. It’s worth making the time. I gravitate toward puzzle games and have found Nintendo rules when it comes to offering problem-solving and strategy-focused experiences that really require brain power. A lot of these options can also be played in quick stints as opposed to the hours of investment required to complete other titles.
Many retailers quickly sold out of the Switch 2 consoles when it first launched in early June. Although restocks are happening around the clock and the system is more widely available, there’s no doubt in my mind that this will be THE GIFT of the holiday season. Whether you’re looking to snag one for yourself or a loved one, don’t hesitate for too long when you see one available.
