Agreed. Now, a computer is not mandatory to play. There are other
possibilities.

I have to agree here. I just got a new monitor yesterday and both my
computer and Xbox Series S are plugged into it. I'm sure that the same
game running from the computer would look better than it does coming
from the console, but the games still look fantastic and I doubt that
some additional polygons would multiply the amount of fun one can have.
Besides, there are console exclusives like NHL that make it preferable.

My kids have tried to get me interested in some of the games they play. The
graphics are pretty impressive sometimes, but the games, themselves, often
seem kind of repetitious and boring. It seems like they're doing the same
thing, over and over again.

I would tell you that the one game which might have a chance of
interesting you is Geometry Wars. It is simple, addictive, easy to
understand the first time you play and it should even work without issue
in Linux.

 
I never was very good at these kind of games. I haven't gotten any better as
I've aged. It looks kind of like a more elaborate version of Astroids from
the old arcade days.

It is, but the fact that you have multiplier to amass points and a
constant barrage of enemies makes it a lot of fun as a casual game.

I'm fairly sure it would just be frustrating for me. But I'll look into it a
little more.
