For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by video games. I didn’t have consoles or devices to play on back then, so whenever I saw someone gaming, I’d be completely captivated just watching them. I’d even find ways to play Angry Birds on my babysitter’s phone or borrow anyone else's device for a quick game. Occasionally, my dad would let me use his computer, and that's where I started playing small browser games online. It wasn’t until I turned seven that I got my first console: a PSP. Honestly, it’s still the console I’ve enjoyed the most in my life. I look back on that time with so much nostalgia. Back then, we could enjoy games purely with our imagination, without caring about graphics or realism. I’d lose myself in other worlds like Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Clank, and Vice City Stories. I remember my mom would forbid me from playing “games for adults,” as she called them, but I always found a way to play them without her catching me. When I was ten, I started playing Minecraft on my dad’s computer, which led me to install Steam. That opened the door to online multiplayer games like Team Fortress, Garry’s Mod, and other shooters. That era was a golden age for me. I had a blast gaming with my friends back then, even though my dad’s computer was limited to 15 FPS and couldn’t handle more demanding games. Fast forward to today, and I’m still gaming on PC. My current top 3 favorite video games are: Bully (released in 2008 by Rockstar Games). It’s a sharp critique of youth and teachers in the school environment. The humor, characters, and pacing of the story made me enjoy it so much that hours would fly by while I played. Cyberpunk 2077. It launched in 2020 with tons of bugs, but luckily, I didn’t play it until 2023 after most of the issues had been fixed. I had an amazing experience. During those first hours, I was completely blown away. The graphics, characters, sound design, music, the vast world, and the ability to make decisions all of it felt surreal. I can't imagine the amount of work that went into making it, and the story felt incredibly immersive. As technology and AI advance, the game's themes, like brain chips and body modifications, feel closer to reality. Do you think our 2077 will look like that? Outlast 1 & 2. Without a doubt, my favorite horror game series. Instead of relying on cheap jump scares, it creates real fear. Its universe feels so original, and the character designs are top-notch. I also admire how they use lighting. To see in the dark, you have to use the night vision on your camera, and the in-game lighting is subtle yet cleverly guides you.
