February 28th: A Peek into Our Gaming Lives
This week, we share insights into the games we’re exploring. Some dedicated members of the team reflect on their journeys as they experience a mix of gaming adventures.
A Career Built on Passion
Reflecting on over two decades in games journalism, it’s clear this has always been a true calling. Despite pursuing a degree in software engineering, the path taken has nurtured a passion for storytelling and sharing the impact of video games. While some may dismiss it as mere entertainment, it’s recognized for its ability to enrich lives.
This transitional phase might signal a farewell to games writing, but there’s confidence that the ideals we’ve strived for will continue. The community’s support is valued and encouraged.
A Diverse Range of Gaming Experiences
This week has brought a varied mix of games. Returning to Overwatch has been enjoyable, with a focus on exploring different characters. New titles like Wuyang and Highguard were tested, alongside exploring Quantic Dream’s project, Spellcasters Chronicles. Quality time was also spent playing Diablo 2: Resurrected on Switch 2, leading to a week rich in gaming adventures.
