Low frustration video games?

[LuvOrlando]

Someone in the house got a PS5 and I was wondering if there are any easy going fun not too childish games that are geared towards people with a low tolerance for frustration so it isn't a chore?

I would like to play sometimes and love Disney, Marvel, Harry Potter and most pop culture sorts of themes but will drop it like a bad habit if it gets me all aggravated. Why are most games written to be annoying? Not my scene, so many bad experiences I don't even want to try without reviews and assurances.

FIFA 23.

I would have been disappointed if this wasn't your response, thanks! I can barely keep my eye on the ball/puck when watching a real game, a sports eye hand coordination requirement would make me both spastic and bananas so amusing for others to watch me, but for me, not so much

The lego games (there are Harry Potter and marvel themed ones) are fun. I don’t really play games but I will sit and play any of the lego ones.

FIFA 23 has an easy mode where the character does it for you.

I am a 38 year old woman and LOVE the lego games! Harry Potter, Marvel, Jurassic Park, Star Wars are all fun!

Set the game to easy and play. I prefer RPG like games, so I'm a big fan of Skyrim and Witcher III. PS4 Spider-man plays on the PS5, but there are some frustrating bits. The LEGO games in general are a lot of fun.

Nothing like a video game that includes corruption!

Decades ago I could tell when my wife had a bad day at work. She'd come home and play Sky Diver on the Atari 2600......and just never bother to open the parachute.

EA and FIFA will dissolve their partnership next year.

There’s a game called Journey for the IOS and PlayStation, completely non-violent, very serene. Has some tense moments, but is low frustration and very forgiving. Beautifully done game too.

I’m not 100% sure if it’s compatible with PS5, but if it’s on the game store it likely is.

I know soccer players who have broken furniture due to frustration while playing. I'd be lying if I said *I* never got frustrated with it. Don't think it qualifies as "low frustration".

I second (or is it third or fourth by this point) the Lego games. There are guides online (simply search for the game you're playing) that will help you if you get stuck.

That’s because they always want a 90 or above FIFA ranking.

umm no. That's because while they're playing the game it doesn't react the way they want it to.

That may be true but some professionals really take their FIFA ranking to heart.

MarioKart 64 or Diddy Kong Racing 64 on the N64... possibly a simple racer of the same ilk like Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, Wipeout or F: Zero X?

Nascar/Need for speed games could be a good option as well.

Yea, but I'm not talking about professional players.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were.
