Narrative-driven RPGs like Disco Elysium are definitely ones to avoid spoilers for. The beauty of the game comes from how your choices influence the story, and spoilers can rob you of the surprise of how things play out based on what you decide.

One that comes to mind is The Pathless. It's technically open-world, but its areas are much more condensed than most, offering a tight, focused experience without the sprawling map bloat that many larger games have.

Personally, I think it's about finding the right balance, and it varies depending on the game’s design. Some games benefit from a more guided experience, where the developer's vision shines through, like The Last of Us. But others, like Breath of the Wild, thrive on giving players the freedom to solve problems in their own way. I think the best games allow a bit of both - guidance when needed, but freedom when possible.

Honestly, I'm not that thrilled because I played the original game years ago. All I want is some single-player DLCs for RDR2 - Is that too much to ask?!

As one of my favorite games to play of all time, I'm happy Alien Isolation is getting a sequel. I wonder if the story will have a new protagonist and how will the Aliens have survived. I thought that station blew up with all of them. Then again, those critters are quite stubborn.

Moonfall (Amazon Prime) - 8.5/10

Still playing Sparking Zero and honestly, I'm ass at the game. Yes, I won a couple of ranked fights but this game has so many mechanics and features that I have to learn. Once I learn to time them properly, I'll start to do much better. So far, I've for Hit and Frieza are my two best characters and that's kind of odd because their fighting styles are so drastically different.

I'm curious about the words we lean on the most in our everyday conversations. Whether it's a filler word like "um," a favorite phrase, or a term from your profession, I’d love to hear what it is and why you think you use it so frequently. Do you have a story behind it?

I love hearing about fresh finds, whether they’re books, music, technology, or even personal revelations. What’s something new you’ve discovered that blew your mind? It could be a hidden gem in your favorite genre, an insightful podcast, or a game-changer in your daily routine. Share your discoveries, and let’s inspire each other to explore new ideas and experiences.

Family dynamics can vary widely, but I’m curious about the bonds we share. Is there a particular family member you feel especially close to? What experiences or traits make your relationship unique? Whether it's a parent, sibling, cousin, or grandparent, share your stories and what makes that connection meaningful for you.

Identity is a complex tapestry of experiences, beliefs, and traits that shape who we are. In a world that constantly evolves, I'm curious to hear from others: is there a core aspect of your identity that you feel will remain unchanged throughout your life? Whether it's your values, passions, or something else entirely, what part of yourself do you hold most dear and believe will always stay the same?

Is there someone from your past that you’ve fallen out of touch with, but still think about? Maybe it’s an old friend, a former colleague, or even a family member. Who would you most like to reconnect with, and what makes them stand out in your memories? Would you reach out if given the chance, or is it best left in the past?

Almost every month. I always get free keys from giveaway bundles or friends gifting me some.

I'd say The Last of Us comes to mind. While it's definitely heavy and bleak on the surface, especially with the post-apocalyptic setting, the relationship between Joel and Ellie gave me a lot of hope. It shows how love and connection can grow even in the darkest times.

I finish games on my own time. Not the average completion time - I love to take my time and enjoy the games I'm playing.

I’d love to sit down with Shigeru Miyamoto and play Super Mario 64 - the game that revolutionized 3D platforming. It would be amazing to hear his thoughts on how games have evolved since then and if he had any ideas that didn’t make it into the final product. Plus, hearing about how he crafted those levels would be priceless.

I'm fed up with the majority of them. Most of them are so generic, boring and lacklustre that I'd rather watch paint dry than sit there and play these atrocities of a AAA game.

One puzzle that comes to mind is the water temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I spent hours trying to figure out the water levels and missed an obvious switch. Once I found it, I couldn't believe how simple the solution was.
