The beginnings

My parents don’t really like video games. There was only one exception in my childhood - somewhere, they found The Neverhood and actually played it with us! I was fascinated with, and I still have a special relationship with it.

Later, my grandfather gave me a Gameboy Advance with two games - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (a surprisingly good RPG that really works with the GBA graphics) and Disney Sports: Snowboarding (kinda forgettable, but I still enjoyed it). It is one of my most prized possesions.

My favourites:

These are some of my favourite video games:

• Outer Wilds: I’d love to be able to erase this one from my mind, just so that I could play it again for the first time.
• Life is Strange: This is a game that I have a real emotional bond to. I just love spending time in this world. If you ever play it, read the comic books afterwards!
• Horizon Zero Dawn: The open world gameplay combined with the tribal post-post-apocalyptic setting and robotic dinosaurs really works for me. Also, I really like Ashly Burch!
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: I’ve spent many hours in Hyrule, and will again.
• Control: The world is really intriguing, and the new powers you gain are really fun to play with.
• Sable: An open world adventure without fighting? And without (almost) any mandatory quests? And the world is gorgeous?
• The Last of Us: An incredible post-apocalyptic story that will really make you feel for the characters.
