Getting stuck in quarantine is no fun, but we have to be responsible to lessen the spread of the coronavirus. And what better way to be responsible than by playing video games?

It's likely that you've gone through a bunch of titles over the past four months in quarantine, especially since highly anticipated games like Animal Crossing, The Last of Us Part II, and Ghost of Tsushima came out during these trying times. But for those of you who truly miss the magic of live shows and rocking out on the dancefloor, some music and rhythm games might just be what you need to get by until get better. So do your part—stay indoors and play some video games.
