If you could go back in time and give your child self one video game available today, what would it be and why?

I would gift my childhood self BioShock Infinite, because I think it would have done the most to help expand my mind. My second choice would be Skyrim, because all child me wanted to do in games was explore.

I dont know if my kid self would have understood Bioshock Infinite xD I was very dull as a kid, but for sure my first pick is Skyrim and probably Ocarina of time, I was already a teen by the time I played my first Zelda game but I think I would have probably enjoyed it far more as a kid

Nothing. Having access to a modern game would spoil me and I couldn't enjoy anything else until technology catches up.

Mine would be either Ghost of Tsushima or The Last Of Us Part II. These two games are something that I can't get enough of. I'm even considering Elden Ring as well 😂.

I would have got into flight sims far more early and got into the old FSX3 😛

Not exactly a game but, Rocksmith.  I might have inspired me to pick up a guitar years ago.

Devil May Cry 3. I had a PS2 at the time so I would have been able to play that. I feel like I got into the series too late.

Kind of tough one to answer : most logical answer would be to go with Stardew valley, pretty sure with some adjustments a sega saturn or ps1 would be able to run it (i think) so that's what i'm going to go for, ah yes i can see myself playing this as a kid for atleast a 1000 hours, trying to complete that damn museum.

If we're talking games of the current generation, my answer should be obvious. RDR2. But when I was a kid, despite absolutely loving video games, I wasn't usually very good at them. I think at the time, RDR2 would have been WAY too complicated for me. But I still love it. And it would be interesting to see 7 year old me try to play a game like that.

A guitar and a violin which one is more difficult to master how to play? I'm thinking the latter.

I'm the wrong person to ask.  I've been learning guitar less than a year and have never even touched a violin.

I didn't get to play so much games as I wanted. I don't know about Bioshock infinite in the past, it would've been an option too. But I think, Pokémon red and blue, F.F 7 would've been a perfect option in my childhood gaming life.

The same thing with me when it comes to playing violin. That instrument is so annoyingly difficult.

If you play then you know better than me.  I'd imagine a violin is more difficult but I think in either case it's practice.

I would give myself at least 3 games and not one. Why would I give only one? 🤔 

I would love to have, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War 2018, and Horizon Forbidden West.
