When most of the world is arrested because of the COVID-19 epidemic, video games are seeing an increase in popularity beyond what they have already established in previous years. So when musicians use video games as a way to stay sane on the road and during their downtime at home for decades, it’s no surprise that both industries have seen a huge amount of crossover lately.
Trainers who use Twitch as a platform to share their music and gaming seats to Animal Crossing: New Horizons taking control of everything online that didn’t catch Tiger King, the presence of bands that share their playing habits has never been stronger. For someone like the Jeremiah Freitas of the Newcomers – who created video games such as Escape from Tarkov and the Battlefields of PlayerUn Bekannte so much of his life that he now shares with Razer, a major gaming hardware company, the medium has long been an important goal beyond just down time entertainment.
“When we were touring for consecutive months, I found playing games a great way to unwind after long days of music and a fun way to spend a few hours in the hotel room,” Fraites said. “Moving from 10,000 screaming fans to the silence of a hotel room can be quite strange and strange, so the ability to find a buffer between it and the games has made me so much more enjoyable touring.”
Since no one has been able to take their favorite games on the road with them for some time, here are some of our favorite artists while they have been quarantined for the past few weeks.

Summary: The adorable tyrant – almost Tim Burton-esque – Hollow Knight takes gamers on an adventure through the hilarious land of Holon. But don’t let its sector visuals fool you, as one of the best metroidani in recent history contains no shortage of hard fighting, platform and puzzles.
“I haven’t had much time for recreational things like video games. I’ve been pretty busy teaching how to be a respected kindergarten teacher. When I get here and there to jump into a virtual universe, I’m not in the animal-crossing world like almost everyone I know, I dive into the mesmerizing hollow knight He has everything I love about games. It’s challenging, beautiful to live in, mysterious and really makes me keep searching for more. Amazing art and haunting music. It’s actually a Metroid style game that is less related to story and more about discovery. I feel like it’s healthy for someone like me, especially nowadays. I can’t go outside, but I can And more of the ruins of this ancient, inhabited underground residence that seems to have its own history and rules and exists in this game just to be found. It’s really relaxing, crazy, and mostly fun. Did I mention that you control a pretty sweet beetle? , I noted it. Give it a whirl and enjoy all its cute spawns. “- Brian Overt, Silverson Pickups

Summary: One of the most iconic games of all time comes back with new and full graphics, gameplay and even some major tweets to the story. Role-playing fans have been waiting for years to join Cloud, Barrett, Tifa and Irish on their journey again, so it’s not surprising to see a wide variety of musicians breaking their aster swords again.
“I really enjoyed (Final Fantasy VII Remake) because it’s the game that made me fall in love with Japanese role-playing games and then Japanese culture. I felt like playing the game again for the first time. I did a 35-hour marathon stream to raise money for our team who can’t work because of the closure with the Twitter community “Ours.” – Matt West, deep throat
“For me, Final Fantasy VII was a pivotal moment in my childhood. It introduced me to a whole new world – like most people – in the RPG universe. It’s a staple of video game situations for my generation, and I don’t remember how many times I played it. This game came out in 1997, and now it’s 2020 and the fans finally got the remake that we started in. It took me 5 days to get through it, and it was worth every moment of waiting.The nostalgia, the look, everything I imagined these characters were in 1997, every building, every nuance, everything lived what it was In my head as a kid, and that feeling can’t be effective. “- Bradley Walden, Amarosa
Evil Resident

Summary: Speaking of headlines with high expectations, the latest remake of Resident Evil 3 brings one of the most memorable antagonists in video game history to light. The return of high-resolution Nemesis certainly provided a fascinating rollercoaster ride in the ruins of Raccoon City for those seeking full-on fear during the quarantine. In addition, the T virus in every Resident Evil game makes COVID-19 look friendly and positive by comparison.
“The Evil Resident 3 had huge boots to fill, and I think they provided. Nothing is more difficult to enhance nostalgia. Often I remember songs were better than they actually were because of the nostalgia bias. Racoon City is still just a science-and-science work, and I I loved her. ”- Outside
“It’s hard to take something classic like the original Resident Evil series and do it right with a remake, but I think they took it out of the park. Nostalgia is still there – and there are certain aspects that feel familiar – but the graphics and games have been updated in all the right ways. But I tend to move on quickly if I don’t feel confused or crawl quite fast. Resident Evil 3 wastes time that doesn’t make you uncomfortable as hell. It’s also a perfect mix of action and riddles. “- Matt Novisky, Blue October
“The remake of Resident Evil 3 kept me up late at night. The graphics are amazing, and I love how they kept the original gaming spirit alive – and the Nemesis Monster is just as tireless as it was 20 years ago. Make sure you have lots of useful green herbs.” – M Falcore, the birthday cook
“When I got home from the tour, I kept asking for my roommate’s switch to play Mario Kart. When things started escalating and I realized that maybe we were here for a while, I decided to get one of my own. Sometime last year, I started playing Resident Evil 4 on my roommate’s PS2 The other one, but I didn’t go too far. I took it off the switch and connected immediately. I won it twice and all the other games. I’m not a gamer. It’s the first game I’ve ever played all the way. I like it because it’s challenging enough to get me interested. Still fun and accessible to someone like me who I would not consider to be very talented in gaming. It was nice to also play as a character who takes steps blades An unknown virus and evil and actually be able to do something about it. “- Kevin Patrick Sullivan, a field medic

Summary: With a new Call of Duty game coming out each year, it’s no surprise that the modern war last fall is still a big hit with both musicians and the general public. Along with the free addition of the Battle Free Royale mode, Warzone, and plenty of nostalgia for some of the older series, Call of Duty remains the first-person shooter.
“I’m pretty new to Battle Royale mode. I first played Fortnite just two years ago but I immediately felt a little too old to start taking it as seriously as most players do. There’s something creepy about a 40-year-old getting along when he’s defeated by kids. Since then, I’ve been looking for something Call of Duty: Warzone is the best battle queen I’ve ever played. The Gulag is a brilliant way to earn a second chance, and the map is big enough where I can find a nice quiet corner, bend in fear and think about my life. ” – Keith Buckley, whenever I die
“I really enjoyed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare when I was home for the last few weeks. I was fortunate to play with my friends Marshmallow and Joe during the FAZE Fight2Fund Tournament and raise some money for a good cause!” – Alesso
“I’ve been playing Call of Duty since I was a kid. I’ve always been in sling games like Call of Duty, (Tom Clancy’s Six Bow) and (PlayerUnknown’s Battlefields). I’ve always loved playing with my friends on the net or in multiplayer games. Now, I’m starting to do campaign tasks to get the full background and understanding of the game. But I’m crazy, and I would play in small competitions. Jump on you and go by your child if you have a heart. “- YBN
“I love the fast pace of the game. It’s always quick to see if you’re going to survive or not. The game is very intense, plus the people talking about their microphones are funny to listen to. The new Call of Duty graphics look amazing too!” – David Ludlow, DED
“I love Call of Duty because of the competitive nature of the game. It lets you come together and play other teams. The graphics are crazy. It feels so realistic. One of the best fighting games.”
“When I don’t write or make music, I really enjoy playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with friends. There is no better way to spend time during the quarantine than to get carried away by the boys in a search game!” – Christian Lama
“The game we chose during quarantine was Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies. We played a lot of that in our early teens, and it’s still one of our favorites.”

Summary: With the latest release of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and continued support of Dragon Ball FighterZ, the sperm anime series enthusiasts have more game options than ever. Whether they want to follow Goku’s story through unforgettable plot points or just pass it on with their favorite characters, there are loads of Super Saiyan games available to them.
“I was a huge lover of Dragon Ball Z so much I loved music, so I jumped at any chance to master one of my favorite characters. Dragon Ball FighterZ is such a good fighting game. When you combine this classic fighting style with 2D that so many of us loved Since the early days of Fighter Street with the star-cracking finishes that only Goku and the like can provide and a graphic style that almost feels like an episode, this brings me to the very first time I watched Gohan destroy the cabin (with one hand, I might add). More intense than one-on-one play between you and your friend. “- Zach Hanson, Hanson

As a strong contender for last year’s game, control stood out as one of the best science science games. Now that it has been further expanded with some significant downloadable content and is often sold on both the console and PC, it has attracted a whole new wave of fans looking to break out of the quarantine monotony.
“I made a list of fairly new games and the controls stood out a lot. It’s drugs to be able to control the material and throw things at people. Plus, I like that it’s a chick that strikes people. It delivers.” – Mike Duffrey
Animals crossing new horizons

If you haven’t heard of moving animals in this quarantine, you’ve obviously spent way less time online than anyone else. Everyone from Pete Wentz and Mark Hopps to the Night of Nas X and Chrissy Teigen are currently paying their debts to Tom Knock and are patiently waiting for the goddesses to turn prices in their favor.
“I’m just obsessed with it. I’ve played Crossing Animals Forever, and when I see they put out new horizons I pre-ordered it right away. I think it’s really relaxing and it’s the best way to relax or unwind if you’re feeling stressed out in the real world. It’s also a nice way to visit my friends While we can’t actually visit each other in real life. “- Eliza Input, Eliza and the hallucinations
“Crossing animals allows me to live alternatively through my character. Finally, I can have a home, a garden and spend the day ‘outdoors’, even if the quarantine doesn’t allow it entirely. I’m a proud owner of a 4 star island, so now it’s about furniture and flower growing Earn all those full fifty. ”- Cole Preston, Wells
“I’m not a sworn gamer by any means, but we were at the height of our tour schedule when the Nintendo Switch came out, so my band and I jumped at the opportunity to do something on the long journeys of the car and plane. I haven’t found a game I really liked and played consistently since probably 6 months ago , So I was very prepared for the new zoo move. I once played it on the Nintendo DS, so I knew a bit about what to expect, but the real fanatic in the band is Joe. He is a professional and does not waste time on his new island arrangement. I play at a much slower pace, enjoy From the little things on the way to the bigger destinations, it definitely helped to pass the time in isolation. I kind of kick myself for not buying Shares in Nintendo before everyone found themselves in the 24-hour Swich game. “- Vibrating Film, Hachi
“Right now I’m deep in the transition between animals: New Horizons and Minecraft – two games where I can reach a meditative area and forget about the real-world tensions. I’ve also done weekly shows and DJ streams on Twitter. Dancing behind me in the DJ booth. Definitely a lot of fun in the virtual worlds right now, and so grateful for that! “- Hannah
“Crossing animals is the perfect game for 2020. The stock market is crashing, but you can still play in the stems market. You can hang out with your friends (who are always happy) all day. And your debts are still big, but now it’s imaginary. It’s a two-thousand-year-old paradise. . ”- Matt Prudnovich, Sub-Radio
“I like to play cross-country animals because it’s one of the only games my wife will play with. You can create your own little island and visit friends’ islands, which is one of the closest things to a friend’s home while locking up.” – Cam Burnley, National Parks
