Don't worry. We've got you covered. Here are the top games you can play now that will keep you entertained enough to want to stay at home and avoid COVID-19, care of Kotaku.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an open-world game filled with Western cowboys and beautiful scenery.

Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC

Red Dead Redemption 2 came out in October 2018, but it's still one of the most popular games even today with its beautiful graphics and a vast, open-world of the 19th-century wilderness.

As per IGN's review, the Rockstar title provides the players with so many things to do and with lots of characters to meet and more places to see, so it's the perfect time to explore the Outlaw era, ride some horses, and get your guns swinging.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is still one of the most beautiful and entertaining games.

Available on Nintendo Switch and Wii

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is much older than Red Dead Redemption, and chances are you've likely finished the game before or have left it in the shadows after new games have been released.

But, Breath of the Wild remains to be a favorite among the gaming industry, and there's no surprise.

Besides its beautiful graphics and even more stunning depiction of a free world, there's also so much to do and more puzzles to solve. Anyone can spend hours playing the game, just like indie rock artist St. Vincent, who confessed to playing around 300 hours of Breath of the Wild.

The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3, with its many adventures and side quests is the perfect way to spend your time at home.

Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC

Perhaps you've binge-watched The Witcher series on Netflix and felt like it was cut too short, and season 2 won't be on until 2021--that is if the whole thing with the coronavirus pandemic slows down and they can return with the show's production.

To quench your thirst for more Geralt during this quarantine season, play The Witcher 3, and you'll be amazed at how fun it is.

Fight monsters, get drunk, flirt with the girls, or play Gwent...there's so much to do during the game that it's perfect even when you're not forced to stay home.
