I feel like I haven’t heard anything from younger genz about games outside of ‘streamer screamer’ game of the week.
Is there anything really new and unique?
As a 30 y/o myself, it feels like they’re still playing those games from 4 years ago: Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, Brawlstars. But they watch much, MUCH more AI Slob
As a parent I can confirm this is true. Lots of AI slop. But probably even more weird, random, quick-fire meme shorts. Although those two categories are rapidly bleeding together into one massive clusterfuck.
My oldest frequently says “gen alpha is so cooked!” due to all the meme and AI slop. Which considering he is gen alpha is both insightful and disturbing.
Attention span is so, so short now. Caught my kid playing Fortnite, then alt-tab to YouTube Shorts when they got killed. For like 10 seconds of downtime to respawn. Atrocious!
Imagine them being able to play cs and go a whole round after dying instantly to a one tap… kids definitely couldn’t handle it
That guy who one tapped you? Actually 8 years old
Definitely way much more ai slob and brain rots
Correct.
It’s still Roblox
It’s all about the DOSbox, baby! Skibidi rizz, yeet yolo!
How do you do fellow human child
minecraft, roblox
It’s still Minecraft and Terraria.
My son plays Fortnite in addition to the other two. I don’t know of any other games that offer the wide choice and peer interaction that Minecraft, Fortnite and Roblox offer.
He mainly watches streamers who play those games
My daughter was showing me some of the games-within-games on Minecraft servers. It’s insane what people have made. And now Fortnite has racing!?
They’re getting bugs and keeping em in matchboxes, making them get on sticks and fight each other like Pokémon. It’s brutal out there man, kids these days are tougher than us
Lichess
A game named “Brawl stars” on mobile
And they watch tiktok
I hear forkknife or something like that is popular.
My son went from fortnite to project zomboid and rimworld, lately rdr and doom eternal. Sometimes terraria and minecraft, but rarely.
Fortnite.
The current streamer fad game seems to be REPO; which looks like it’s just a knock off of Lethal Company, tho IMO it is a bit cuter with the way player character’s heads flap with your mic when you speak.
Pokemon?
Free games like brawl stars, pirated minecraft, are way more popular than paid games like premium minecraft(at least in my country)
