To role-play or not to role-play: that is the question
Role playing is a widespread practise among the world of gaming (and not only within the video games industry), whose goal is to enhance and improve the bond between the player and the character who is being impersonated. Table top RPG games appeared for the first time on the market in 1974 with Dungeons & Dragons and have become quite popular nowadays, with examples such as the above mentioned D&D, World of Darkness, 7th Sea or Star Trek Adventures, to start with. When the whole concept of gaming went through its digital evolution, we can all imagine the possibilities that this implied: the chance to actually see a character and the world around it did nothing more than amplify the whole connection between player/playable character. With the never ending evolution of video gaming and the whole innovation of the story telling in games narrated through the eyes of a character (both in first person and third), this kind of connection grew stronger and stronger, and the chances to play games that allow the player to actually choose the actions of a character are several. Games such as Detroit: Become Human, Until Dawn, The Witcher Saga, Cyberpunk 2077 or The Elder Scrolls Series give the player the freedom to determine the actions they take (some more than others), actions that in most cases have a strong impact on the story itself.

Stardew Valley changed my life. Top Story - March 2021.
The global pandemic has forced all of us to rethink our daily lives, re-evaluate what we hold dear and what we crave in our entertainment. It has affected me in ways I didn't think were possible. For one, the boredom and loneliness had me thinking about trying a cutesy farming RPG with ancient graphics. Little did I know that it would change my life and cause me to change the way I see retro gaming.

Rookie Mistakes in Remnant: From the Ashes and How to Avoid Them
As I wrote in this story, I've been a gamer for almost 50 years. Needless to say, I have played thousands of games for hundreds of thousands of hours. So, it's not too often that I am blown away by a new game. The last time I had this level of excitement was probably the original Demon Souls.

My Iron Vow
I have always loved writing!" says pretty much everyone here. It's no less true for me. I was one of those kids who often enjoyed writing stories as much as, if not more than, watching TV or going outside to play with my friends. It was fun and enjoyable, and occasionally offered a release from pent-up feelings that I didn't want to express elsewhere. It was also one of the few things that I felt I did reasonably well.
