I have played many open-world and sandbox adventure games over the years The Sims, Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Grand Theft Auto, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and (especially) Minecraft. Starbound is the most recent game to let me feel like my own author.Īny game brave enough to allow players to make their own choices will always mark high in my book. Some games thrive on their writing and provide a compelling story for their audience, but I don’t always want to be an audience member: I want to be in the driver’s seat (It’s why I play games to begin with). Rebel commander Bill Bananas –provided (graphic)Īs a gamer, I love the ability to create a unique personal narrative.
