My Love for Gaming

One of my earlist memories as a child was playing my first gaming device called the GameBoy Advance. The game I was playing was called Sonic Advance 3. To best describe it, it had a colourful artstyle that drew me in along with the great music and short levels to play through to keep my young attention.

To compare to watching a tv show, me the player got to control a character on screen which blew my mind back. My brothers handed me down their gaming consoles such as the Playstation 2 and Sega Mega Drive. To this day I still play video games.

As an adult, gaming is still my favourite hobby. With technology getting more bigger and faster, I get to play and immerse myself into beautiful worlds built on the lastest hardware and software. It is now more convient to download a game on my Playstation 5 then buying the actual disc, saving space and the need to travel to a game store. I wouldn't have meet any of my friends if it wasn't for gaming.

Playing online games with friends is a lot of fun and is so much better to socialise then the outside world. I am only joking. Learning how games are made is interesting because of the amount time and resources it takes to make a game. I like to collect art books of favourite games to see what the game director cut out from the offical release.

If I had to choose one of my favourite video games of all time it would have to be Undertale. It was developed by only one person named Toby Fox and the game's story was 6 hours long. However it has such an enriching world to explore, filled with interesting characters. Which a few I found quite relatable to me. The graphics was 2-D sprites but was beautiful in its own unique way. The gameplay lets you decide, Fight or Mercy which basically means you can kill the enemy or be passive.

When I first choose to be passive on my first enemey, my main character became friends with the so called enemy which was not what I was expected at all. The soundtrack is amazing especially when the piano kicks in, giving me goosebumps. I would suggest to listen to the track Hopes and Dreams, it is my favourite piece of music ever made.
