To be fair, a LOT of 18+ rated stuff is infantile.
It’s probably better to just embrace that they’re fun and that those who don’t enjoy them don’t enjoy them.

Are you saying you will never grow up?
So why are some games 18+ if video games are only for kids?
Good point. Not all games are for kids, some are for the incel geeky types.

Is it a marketing ruse so as not to damage the self esteem of the grown up adult kids who play them? Just a guess.

I got Wreckfest on my phone for 89p. Incredible that we are seeing games like this which originally came out on PS4 run and load quicker on my midrange handset, although perhaps I should not be surpised as technology marches on and I've had the PS4 for about a decade.

I have not played it but it is the 'spiritual successor' to Theme Hospital which I played about 25 years ago.

I downloaded the Mame emulator to show my kid the arcade games I used to play and was then disappointed by how underwhelmed he was by my ability to still remember where every enemy spawns in OutZone. I had to admit OutRun is actually complete turd but he was interested by Street Fighter II for about two seconds because Ryu and Ken are characters in Mario Super Smash.

Astrobot rescue mission PSVR was a 10/10 game for me so will get that once a PS5 becomes a worthwhile purchase. No VR is disappointing though.
