Retro Bowl is a football game where you play as a football player, a team manager, a coach and recruit players on your team. The game was released in January 2020.
I have seen my brothers playing this game constantly. I have personally tried the game and I suck at it.
The reason this game has become so popular is the different varieties the game has. You start off pretty much at the bottom of the system and work your way up to the top by winning games. You can pick a team or randomize it and work towards your favorite team.
This game really took off because of the popular app Tik Tok. Also because football is a fan favorite in America with the NFL.
The teams are actual NFL franchises so that also helps with the appeal. You may not be able to play for that team or manage them but you sure can pretend to. It is like playing with the Chiefs but not really.
Recently I have seen football take off in the younger generations because of how streamlined football is. At an elementary school level some kids this Thanksgiving are thankful for the LA Rams.
In the grand scheme of things this game is very popular among many different age groups. A lot of people enjoy football and this game has all those aspect. This game is also free on all phones and has a website game.
Pokémon Go has blown up over the past couple months. Personally, I started to pick up the game again in July.
The purpose of this game is to walk around and catch wild Pokémon in your surrounding area. There are tons of different Pokémon to catch and some special ones that happen only during certain events.
This game has been around since 2016, and it had a lot of momentum rolling for them. People were obsessed with it but it slowly started to fall off till now.
The game is a spinoff of the hit show where a young boy named, Ash Ketchum, goes on adventures catching and fighting with his Pokémon.
The origin of this game goes back to a game called Poketto Monsutaa, which is translated to Pocket Monsters. This game was popular on the Game Boy, it was a game where kids would raise and train monsters.
Overall, this game is a pretty straight forward and fun game to play with or without friends. You may even see some of your teachers playing the game.
