What was a game that you associated with a particular era of your life?

For me, it’s Black Myth: Wukong. Back when the game launched in the tail end of Summer in 2024, I, like many others who were very hyped and intrigued by it, bought it on release. Of course, it was your typical Soulslike experience, with hard bosses that were all unique and required different strategies to defeat, etc, etc. The game was still really fun.

However, the game came out during a time in my life where I was…at my happiest. I went out and enjoyed the outdoors. I spent time with the people I care for most. And most importantly, that I felt…alive. More than I have ever been in so long. I did things that I normally wouldn’t want to do. I was way more social, despite being a hermit in my room most days.

The message I got from Wukong, was that change, while daunting and even intimidating, necessitates your growth in more ways than one. You might have some struggles that made you break and made you feel hopeless and miserable. But you will always, and I do mean, ALWAYS, see the other side of it. And that you will be deserving of happiness and good fortune.

What about you guys?
