An Ode to Divinity: Original Sin II
Read in 8 minutes ·I have always believed that video games are the perfect amalgamation of creativity with technology.

The best games, in my mind, leave you with a story that keeps you up for ages. Divinity: Original Sin II stands tall amongst the games I’ve had the honour of playing. 135.9 hours it took me to complete my first playthough, and I can say this without a doubt in my mind: this game is extraordinary.
An Ode to Horizon: Zero Dawn
Read in 6 minutes ·I remember being absolutely awestruck when the initial trailers of this game first came out, back around 2017, I think. The setting of the game near instantaneously stood out to me; something that was clearly post-apocalyptic while still having a thriving human society. I was also playing Fallout 3 around that time, so having a world set so far in the future that the world apparently managed to heal just a bit was intriguing, to say the least.
