Like a lot of people my age, I grew up playing video games, first on an Atari 2600, then on a Nintendo, then on a long series of PCs, the last of which I built. I still play games, but I have lots of other things to do, work and hobbies both, and these days I play on an Xbox X because I don’t want the hassle of keeping a PC in gaming shape.
The links below lead to things I’m writing about games I’m playing (or sometimes not).
I had only ever played a bit of Inquisition (without really liking it) and so this new game in the Dragon Age series wasn’t on my radar at all, and I only stumbled across its trailer a few days after its launch. Something about it clicked, instinctively, solidly, and that evening, after quickly checking the Ars Technica review and finding only good news, I bought it. (This never happens with me.)
Download complete, I started it up and after an hour—only an hour!—I had defeated the character creation boss and was headed in game. (I never get out of character creation this fast.) Best of all, I had a character I loved and that I continued to love even after he dropped into the game. (This never happens either.)
It’s still early but there’s a lot here I like.
This is the game I’ve written about the most since the relaunch because I was deep in a play through at the time. I have some hope that I’ll be writing about other games soon. Not because I’m tired of Cyberpunk, but just because I’d like to think that another great game will come along and hook me.
