I’m on the hunt for new PC games for mrs simo to enjoy as shes going through an ADHD phase of not enjoying anything. Her favourite is Bloons TD 6 (2600 hours!).

She doesn’t really like heavy games like FPS, RTS, ARPGs or anything toooo involved. She’ll try something for 10 minutes and that’s the window for hit or miss [sadly in most cases].

Historically old school Pokemon games and those RPGmaker style games are good if they are well put together and have a nice story (such as Little Witch in the woods, Cult of the Lamb). Siralim Ultimate was good for a while - hopefully that gives an idea of rough genres for suggestions.

Oh and we had a good little run with Vampire Survivors and Army of Ruin too.

For whatever reason Bloons TD6 was a massive hit, and she recently got bluestacks to try some PVZ 2 again, as that was her previous ‘bloons’ hook. I think it’s the nature of the Games as a service, with the weekly battles n unlocks and stuff. Granted, that game is really good too.

Hoping other people who struggle to ‘hook’ into various games on PC, or have similar ADHD spouses who go through ‘ahhh i dunno’ phases of gaming can shed some random offbeat suggestions.

Random mention: She loved elden ring! The exploring n shit was cool. Tempted to get Games Pass for Fable 2 streaming, but I think our internet will be shit and it’ll be a total bust.
