Favorite Games
Currently, my top 10 games of all time are
1. Dark Souls
2. NieR: Automata
3. God of War (2018)
4. BioShock: Infinite
5. Rocket League
6. The Last of Us Part 2
7. Elden Ring
8. Horizon Zero Dawn
9. Hollow Knight
10. Outer Wilds
These are always subject to change, as more great games release every single year. I'm personally interested in indie games and great single-player campaigns.
Favorite Console
The best console I've ever owned was also my first console, the PlayStation 2. While my favorite games have all come out since the end of that console's lifetime, my love of gaming would never have happened if not for the PS2 in my parent's basement.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Completing the Path of Pain in Hollow Knight is probably the hardest gaming achievement I've ever put myself through without feeling like it wasn't worth the effort of putting myself through it. The struggle was so worth it for the satisfaction of completing it.
