Game Informer<\/em> readers! I’m excited to return to work today after seven amazing weeks of paternity leave to learn the ropes of parenting alongside my beautiful wife and newborn baby girl. I\u2019m approximately 37 minutes into my shift at the time of writing and counting every second until I\u2019m off and can give all my free time to my daughter. That\u2019s because I\u2019ve already begun her journey into video games. First by osmosis, but more recently, by getting her hands on the controller. You might say six weeks old is too young, and to that I say: Good luck to your kid trying to beat my daughter in Super Smash Bros. one day!\u00a0<\/p>\nAs a new father who also games, I thought I\u2019d share the knowledge I\u2019ve learned about gaming with an infant these past few weeks, specifically, the worst games to play with a newborn at home. Everybody is different, but if you\u2019re at home with a newborn, I\u2019d caution against playing these particular titles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/h2>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
Before you write me off for putting this on this list, please understand I thoroughly enjoyed my 40-plus hours with it. That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s a great game to play with a newborn at home. If you haven\u2019t played it, skip this entry because I will spoil the beginning. The central premise behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is that every year, the mysterious Paintress paints a new number on a massive monolith in the world. That number has decreased by one yearly since the Paintress\u2019 start, and at the beginning of the game, we witness something known as the Gommage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Gommage happens every year, and when it does, anyone of the age currently listed on the Paintress\u2019 monolith dies, or rather, goes the way of Peter Parker\u00a0in Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>. They dissipate into flakes of an ash-like substance, disappearing from the world and their loved ones forever. There\u2019s a lot more happening, but for the purpose of this entry, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 begins with a Gommage where loved ones watch their lovers, parents, children, and friends die. It turns out holding your barely-a-few-weeks-old newborn during this scene is incredibly heartbreaking as you think about what it\u2019d be like to be Gommage\u2019d away from her. It was here that I realized media will make me cry a lot easier now (and I was already an easy crier before).\u00a0<\/p>\nDoom: The Dark Ages<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
Though it\u2019s not out until later this week on May 15 (though if you cough up extra money, you can jump in starting tonight, so really, it\u2019s out today), I was lucky enough to receive a pre-release code to Doom: The Dark Ages. My excitement came crashing down about five minutes after starting the game when I realized the continuous sounds of bullets ripping flesh, shields parrying attacks, and very loud (and pretty good) metal music blaring through my speakers aren\u2019t appreciated the same by my daughter. In fact, this cacophony of sound mixing actively goes against the calm, peaceful, serene environment my wife and I try to cultivate for\u00a0her. Doom: The Dark Ages is now an exclusively headphones-on game in the LeBlanc household.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Literally Any VR Game<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
I don\u2019t even have a game to list here because I never made it as far as starting one. I put on my VR headset and then realized it\u2019s hard to use two handheld controllers while holding a child. It doesn\u2019t help that I literally couldn\u2019t see or hear her either, I guess.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elden Ring<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
You\u2019re probably thinking, \u201cOoof yeah, any game without a proper pause button would be tough with a newborn,\u201d right now, and you\u2019d be right. But being unable to pause mid-boss fight because my daughter needs her diaper changed isn\u2019t why Elden Ring is on this list. No, Elden Ring straight up sucks to play when the player you summonto help you defeat one of the game\u2019s many challenging bosses is terrible. I knew it\u2019d be a challenge considering my daughter doesn\u2019t understand how her hands work yet, but sheesh, she really has no clue how to dodge, parry (or even block with a shield, for that matter), or use a basic attack. She was useless as a summoned co-op partner, and considering bosses get extra health when you bring another player in, summoning my daughter to help defeat a boss was actively harder than doing it solo. Lesson learned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fortnite<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
I love Fortnite. I hate Fortnite. It is a game I can\u2019t pull myself away from, despite the psychic damage it constantly causes me when I\u2019m one kill away from the Victory Royale and fail to clutch it. The adrenaline spike that occurs brings me back, match after match, chasing the dub.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So let me paint you a scene: I\u2019ve got 13 kills. My daughter has zero \u2013 that\u2019s okay, that\u2019s fine, I\u2019m carrying us both quite well. I\u2019m looting the last building in the circle. There\u2019s one other player left, and they sneak up on me and take me out. For whatever reason, they don\u2019t fully kill me, meaning my daughter can revive me if she can sneak over without being caught (because she\u2019d likely not defeat this other player in a 1v1 shootout). She finally arrives, and though she\u2019s three feet away from me in-game, she\u2019s stuck walking into a wall. I look over in real life, and she\u2019s gnawing on the left stick on a DualSense controller \u2013 no wonder she\u2019s blowing it. I tell her to clutch up, get in the game, and revive me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She ignores me completely and doesn\u2019t even look my way. Moments later, the last enemy player stumbles upon her and takes her out. We lose. I cry. She gnaws. I do not see dubs in my future if she continues this behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Final Fantasy XIII<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
I love Final Fantasy XIII. It is my favorite Final Fantasy. It is a game I always think about, and I desperately want Square Enix to bring it to PlayStation 5 because it is the only mainline entry in the series not available on the console. When you have a child, there\u2019s a certain high you get from the dopamine dumps your brain is constantly delivering as you kiss your baby, cuddle her, and think about the life you hope to give her. I figured, \u201cWhy not pair those dopamine dumps with a game I love so much?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
To my annoyed surprise, it took my daughter about two hours into Final Fantasy XIII to tell me the game is just a \u201challway simulator.\u201d<\/p>\n
I tried explaining to her that another beloved entry in the series, Final Fantasy X, is also corridor-like in its design, and nobody complains about that in the same way! She didn\u2019t care, adding, \u201cYeah, but it\u2019s Final Fantasy X.\u201d Okay?? God forbid a father like a game about sisterhood, romance, and the inevitability of death that features incredible music, slick visuals, and a fun combat system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
