The only game I bought on day one release was Far Cry 5. In my opinion it really wasn’t worth spending $90 CAD on. I would honestly just wait a month or two until game reviews have been put up.
My gaming skills were good enough a couple years ago to be put on a World of Tanks esports team. We never won any major tournaments, but it was still fun to travel around the States and even to China and Russia.
In my opinion there’s no age restriction for gaming in this generation. With so many games genres out there it’s impossible not to find one that suits your age group.
