Uno
As a child, one of my favourite games to play with my parents was Uno. It's an old card game that was first published in 1971. I remember my favourite token was the old car, with cars being a recurring theme in my childhood. I always hated when I had to go to jail, though! Robbins, 1971. Uno. Card game, Mattel

Driver: San Francisco
Driver: San Francisco is a particular game that I remember loving as a child. In Driver, you're able to mind-shift into the body of a nearby driver on the road, allowing for endless unique gameplay. There's hundreds of side missions, a gigantic open-world map and the revenge-driven storyline is addicting.

Rocket League
Rocket League is the game that I have played most in my life, at almost exactly 900 hours played. It's a fun and explosive car soccer game and I find it so easy to come back to over the years and just have a great time messing around with my brother.

Geometry Dash
Geometry Dash was published in 2013, and it is one of my favourite games ever. It's a casually enjoyable side-scrolling music platforming game, but the reason why it's so important to me is because this game is part of the core foundation of one of my best friendships.

Slime Rancher
Slime Rancher was released in 2016, but it holds significance to me as it helped me navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdowns and a game that another best friend and I deeply bonded over.

Assassin's Creed Origins
Recently, I've immersed myself in the world of Assassin's Creed Origins, and it's quickly becoming one of my all-time favourites. It features a vast playable map of Egypt, exploring the gods of Ancient Egypt, and I found it so captivating that I searched through every single corner of it!
