Planning Your 96 Hours Kid and Wife Free ⏲️
You’ve got 96 hours of freedom – no responsibilities, no projects, no work! With a case of beer, a fridge full of food, and 5 games on your backlog, it’s time to get lost in virtual worlds. Below are some great options for how to make the most of your 4-day gaming retreat.
Your Gaming Lineup 🎮
You’ve listed some intriguing games:
- V Rising
- Mass Effect 1-3
- Death Stranding
- Outer Wilds
- Alien Isolation
Let’s dive deeper into each game to help you decide which adventure to embark on first.
Dive into the Mass Effect Universe 🌌
If you’re craving an epic space saga, look no further than Mass Effect 1-3. Renowned for its engaging story and deep character development, it’s a trilogy that promises hours of immersive gameplay. Given its high recommendation from the community, this is a solid choice.
Survive in Alien Isolation 👽
Alien Isolation offers a spine-chilling experience as you navigate through a space station, evading a deadly alien. With intense atmosphere and heart-pounding moments, this game is perfect if you love a good scare.
Explore with Outer Wilds 🌠
Yearn for exploration? Outer Wilds offers a unique experience with its time-loop mechanic and vast, mysterious universe. Each playthrough reveals more about the game’s intricate world, making it highly addictive.
Embark on a Journey in Death Stranding 🚶♂️
Death Stranding combines stunning visuals with a storyline that’s both enigmatic and thought-provoking. With elements of traversing treacherous landscapes and delivering crucial supplies, it provides a profoundly unique gaming experience.
Build and Battle in V Rising 🧛♂️
If you enjoy building empires and combat, V Rising lets you play as a vampire emerging from slumber. Balance building your domain and fighting to survive in a world full of dangers.
Final Decision? 🤔
While each game offers something special, the consensus seems to point towards Mass Effect 1-3. The trilogy’s complexity and emotional depth make it a series you can truly get lost in. Clean your desk, grab your favorite snacks, and get ready for an unforgettable journey through space.
Enjoy your 96 hours of uninterrupted gaming bliss! 🎉
Besides hookers and coke I’d personally say outer wilds and alien isolation because you could probably beat both of them so two games to enjoy.
if u like horror then alien isolation, if not then vrising
Mass Effect 3
Run away. With a 96 hour head start you might never be found.
Of those games I would personally try the Mass Effect Trilogy. Non-dystopian Sci-fi is a dying breed and those games are very highly regarded.
Outer Wilds is good, great even, from a limited lens it has a unique approach to story telling but personally it started stressing me out the further I got in. Several deaths felt cheap and the long amounts of lost progress through difficult areas because of extremely minor mistakes (ex: dark bramble) started testing my patience.
You also get to a point where you’re missing a minor piece of a puzzle and have to go back through areas repeatedly to find that one bit of info you missed.
Mass Effect 2 during the day. Even though it’s the middle chapter, it’s the high point of the trilogy. Alien Isolation at night with the lights off.
My vote’s for Death Stranding, but it’s definitely not a game for everyone. I personally found it quite soothing, then terrifying, then soothing again.
I’ve heard the Outer Wilds is actually life-changingly good though. That’s still on my list.
Alien isolation for sure. Very immersive and a must play if you’re a fan of the franchise
If you manage to finish Mass Effect trilogy, your wife will fill find you changed.
One hell of a game.
I’m currently playing through Mass Effect 1-3 (the legendary edition was like £5 the other day). It’s actually really great to play through them one after another and see your decisions and character carry across. Played through the first one as a good guy, and now 2/3rds of the way through the 2nd one as a renegade (I have some headcanon about how Shep is real fucked up by what happened to him after the first game, and it turned him into a huge douchebag – I’m sure i’ve seen that kind of thing in movies before…)
That being said, I’m not sure if 96 hours is enough to get through 1-3 unless you don’t sleep… so I’d say maybe Alien Isolation? It would be nice to knock at least one of the games from your list and it’s not the kind of game kids (or a wife, if she’s anything like mine) would appreciate…
Mass Effect trilogy handsdown. Good chance you can finish all 3 if you sleep 5 hours a night and dont get distracted with everything else in those games lol.
4 days with no wife or kids? Sleeeeeeppppp
Alien isolation is really good and not too long so it won’t take up all of your time.
Lets be honest, you’re going to sleep most of it
Only played Death Stranding and Outer Wilds. Death Stranding might be too long of a game for 4 days. Personally I finished for 250+ hours 😄 It kinda got addicted to it. Well it’ll really depends if the game will click with you.
Outer Wilds on the other hand can be finished in 4 days. Well it still depends on many factors especially since it’s a “puzzle” game. It’ll also depend if the game clicks for you. Both games are great games but they are bot unique to the point that they’re a masterpiece for many people but many people hates them too 😄
Alien Isolation is probably one, if not the best horror game i ever played, this one really made me feel like i was trap and being haunted all the game.
Mass Effect! Absolutely do Mass Effect.
with that time frame, definitely Outer Wilds
Outer Wilds, hands down, if you like puzzle games. You can complete it in the time frame, and it’s one of the best gaming experiences out there for people who like puzzles and piecing together a story (as long as you also don’t mind basic space sim type mechanics).
I’d go with V rising.
Mass Effect 1-3 is more than a 96 hour investment imo.
V Rising you could likely complete the game, or most of it, playing PvE in 96 hours. It’s absolutely worth it.
I haven’t played the others on the list, so my vote goes to V Rising.
Go with V Rising. Perfect game when you have nothing else to do for 3 days. Whether you like PvP or plan to play solo, it’s such a smooth, satisfying, well-thought-out game. I wish I could play it for the first time again!
Outer Wilds is on my rare list of games thatll stick to me forever like that first playthrough of dark souls and subnautica.
I think most people should experience the mass effect trilogy.
Not enough love for v rising.
If you like survival base building games and action rpgs, it’s stellar
I’d say death Stranding because it’s really addictive in weird way. Kinda abandoned the story midway to first and foremost set up a net of ziplines so I can just zip deliveries everywhere. While also trying to accumulate enough materials to build all roads. Even went back to the first region now…
Anyway… I fear you don’t have enough time for that. 96 hours – sleep and maintenance might be not enough to finish it.
Apart from that, before you get to the point where the addiction sets in there most likely will be a few moments where you are sick of it and might want to take a break for a while.
Thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
Oh, and Alien Isolation with the lights out/curtains pulled.
For your list I’ve only played Outer Wilds but whoo boy what a game. It’ll help you decompress and it’s very engaging. That’s my recommendation.
Absolutely Outer Wilds! One of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had.
V Rising is sick, but you might get addicted 😂
If you’re in to base building V Rising will suck (pun intended) you in and consume a lot of that time.
Otherwise if you’ve never played it.. ME2 is probably one of the best RPGs ever made. HIGHLY recommend.
V Rising or Death Stranding IMO.
V rising is incredible. With parental duties you sadly have to forget PvP, but it’s a great experience.
For the record, V rising is insanely fun single player (haven’t tried mp), but you won’t make a dent in that game in that amount of time, especially if you don’t game a ton. It can be pretty hard at points.
It’s also a solid game to play in short intervals since the game can be broken down into small individual tasks (hunt this boss, gather iron, set up a new room in your castle, etc.).
If you play single player, go into the game settings when you’re starting the game and toggle the teleport restricted items, this lets you teleport with items. It’s much nicer and cuts down on pointless play time running back to your castle(s)
V Rising is an excellent way to lose yourself for 4 days. Im loving it
I vote mass effect if you are going to give full attention to the game. Story wise one of the best games I have played. Might be hard to finish in 4 days.
Othervise V rising
Mass Effect for sure.
I know everyone is saying Mass Effect and that’s a great choice. But I suggest V Rising and lose yourself to a very involved survival game since you have so many different things you can do and interact with other players as well if you like to dabble in that thing. To me V Rising is like a vampire Sims game with Diablo like combat elements.
You’re gonna need more beer
Mass Effect! I’d definitely get the Legendary Edition
V Rising is a drug. I am an addict.
Mass Effect 100%. With the legendary edition you could spend all of those hours with just Mass Effect and it will be glorious.
Mass Effect Trilogy without question if you’ve never done it before.
Living the dream, I envy you
Mass Effect is genuinely life changing. You will be a better father and husband by the time your family returns because of that story.
Outer Wilds is next choice if you want to beat it all in one weekend though.
I would avoid Death Stranding if you have a ticking time limit. Played for 3 hours and there was 15 minutes of gameplay in them.
Before you chill try to imagine the first conversation you 2 have when she gets home. There will legit be something you’ve forgotten to do and she’ll ask why you haven’t done x, be it fold the laundry or empty the dishwasher. Consider this first, plan it in and then chill.
As for games I say mass effect.
