Playing History

The favorites I've chosen on my profile page are subject to change. I like so many games and it's so hard to choose! SOMA and FTL in particular will both likely be changed. FTL is a fairly simple game but it really grabbed me with its roguelike replayability. SOMA is in many ways a downgrade from the excellent pacing, puzzle design, and stealth of Amnesia, but it still wins as a favorite because of its absolute 10/10 writing and I hope to see more games like it in the future. I could have also said X-COM. I was disappointed by the X-COM storyline, but the game is just so good, especially with the long war mod. I have yet to try X-COM 2.

Additional information

I'm still learning a lot about Hammer and level design. I am competent with Hammer after using personally on and off for years. I also have limited experience with textures in photoshop. I am studying Computer Science and can code, but I haven't tried much scripting in the Source Engine yet.
