Help me choose the game I'll play during easter

I'm assuming you haven't played any of these before so I went with Witcher 3. As much as I loved Persona and Nier (and even Horizon to a lesser extent) Witcher 3 is the only game on that list that I still get the itch to revisit.

All of them are amazing choices, it'd be hard for me to pick something because I loved all of them. (maybe aside from UFC but i'm not a fan of the sport). I'd suggest either Horizon or Witcher 3 since they are fairly similar and quite long which should last you throughout all easter. Witcher is definitely the longest out of all of them, to do 100% you'd probably need 100-200 hours (goty edition). So you could play only Witcher, or in that time you could instead play through 3-4 other games like Horizon, Nier and Wolfenstein, which would probably take you around 100 hours total. Persona 5 is also quite long, around 80-100 hours. Might also pick up Burnout as a sort of a break game from the others, just to chill for a bit, play something without a story or requiring much focus. Sorry for not giving a straight answer, it's too hard for me to choose but I feel like I justified my recommendations! Have fun during Easter, no matter what you're gonna pick, you should be satisfied!

These are all pretty lengthy games, so I chose Evil Within 2 b/c you can conceivably finish it in a weekend.

Just wallow in the Sims 4. Nothing will be accomplished, but you'll love it.

Nier is the best game here one would have a reasonable chance of finishing during a break.

Picked Wolfenstein cause it's a good, finishably-short game from your list.

If it's a cabin, I'm going to go with The Evil Within 2 because cabin = horror, am I right? Just kidding. If you're in the mountains, I'll choose Horizon Zero Dawn because of snow and wilderness (although The Witcher 3 does that too). If I were to choose out of any of those as to which to spend time with, it'd be either The Witcher 3 or Wolfenstein 2.

@undefined: all the games on your list are extremely long so I voted Evil Within 2 although that’s not a quick romp either. Persona 5 for instance I’m on hour 65 and I think that’s roughly the midpoint.

I voted Persona 5 just because if you somehow manage to make it to the end it is very appropriate for Easter. That being said there's no way you're finishing that game in one long weekend so maybe Nier or Wolfenstein is a better choice.

Witcher 3 is the only answer.

I love Nier and Wolfenstein, but Witcher 3 outclasses just about anything you can throw at it.

Haven't played any of these, but I chose Persona 5 because based on my experience with 4, it's a perfect game to lose yourself in!

Many good choices, but Nier: Automata is definitely my favorite on that list.

@nutter: I mean in terms of being a good RPG sure. I’d hate to get into one of these discussions, and let me pre-load this by saying I think it’s a really good game, but people placing Witcher 3 on this impossibly high pedestal above all other games always seems odd to me. I’m not saying it can’t be A PERSONS favorite game, but it’s difficult for me to say if Witcher 3 universally outclasses all other games, or like Wolfenstein specifically as they’re incomparable in my eyes - I come to each one for different emotions and experiences. That’s not even getting into the whole big argument about the gameplay of Witcher 3 being kinda stiff and dated by today’s standards (that original release inventory system was kinda rough). So yah it’s a really good game but also a very acquired taste, which is something that hardly ever gets mentioned along with the praise. If you’re into the setting and lore then you’ll very likely really love it wrinkles and all, but if you’re not 100% drinking the Witcher koolaid then some of the small annoyances will grate people down.

Sorry for the whole sidebar, just my own two or 25 cents on the Witcher 3 - once again a game I really enjoyed, but also a game I have a hard time universally recommending without a bunch of caveats. Also an extremely long game.

I really like Persona 5, I am currently planing P3, but I would recommend playing it over a longer period of time than two weeks, it can really burn you out, after the 25 hours you will need a break (I was over 100 when I finished after 10 weeks of playing). My vote is get P5 and Witcher, they are both long and you will not finish either of them quickly but they will keep the you interested.

I voted for Nier, seems like the best game you could get to a reasonable natural stopping point in the time you potentially have available.

I can't think of something worse than starting something like Witcher or Persona and having to drop it halfway because it's now time to go home.

The Sims 4 is fantastic

Wolfenstein II is basically one long Christ allegory, so it's definitely the most fitting.

Alright! Seems like I'll be doing some Witchin' during the easter break. It's downloaded and ready to go, with Persona 5 as a temporary back-up. Thanks everyone!

If you are actually itching for some The Sims any time soon, I seriously recommended skipping The Sims 4 and going for The Sims 3 instead. The difference is black and white in terms of feeling engaged with the game, not just watching animations.

@cloudleet: You chose...wisely.

@hyperlexia: you are 100% correct. Sims 3 is way better in every way!

Confused about how you're approaching this. If it's a game you can start and almost finish: you're looking at Evil Within 2 or Wolfenstein 2. Witcher 3, Persona 5, and NieR: Automata are just too long for a few days, despite being great games.

Well i wouldn't play any of those for short stretches besides burnout, sims, and ufc. You will end up getting nowhere in most of those games as they are 20-100 hrs long respectively.

Not sure what you're playing these on, but the console port of Sims 4 has god awful control that took me a few days of play to learn its quirks. Burnout Paradise is a rad game, but it is less cool when you don't have online.

Wolfenstein 2 is my favorite game from last year, and if you haven't played it, you should definitely check it out. You could probably finish this in a weekend, depending how much time you dedicate to it.

I think im the only person who voted for ufc... theres nothing like fighting someone online with them thinking they can hook combo you over n over only to eat your elbow and collapse like a sack of potatoes. Its glorious. Also, touch gloves, its rude not to. :p

@travisrex: Ha, I remember similar thoughts when playing Fight Night.

Everyone would throw haymakers, hooks, and uppercuts going for the quick KO. Meanwhile...you just box. Jab, block, sometimes evade, and throw power hits when the opportunity presents itself.
