VGC Day 5: Guilty Pleasures

Welcome back to our continuing video game challenge! Hope you’ve been enjoying following along with our previous entries!

Day 4: What is your guilty pleasure game?

I thought about listing a game that I’m embarrassed to play, but then I remembered…

I unabashedly love this game. I’ve played it a bunch of times, including once as a marathon playthrough during which I tried to find all the secrets (which I still didn’t manage), a few times with other players online, and quite a bit by myself (or with friends on the couch). It’s the game I reach for when I want to play something but don’t want to be bogged down with choices and morality and combat. This is the game I go to when I just want to be inundated with stunning visuals and beautiful music. If I want to enjoy the game alone, I can; if I want to enjoy it alongside another player, I can do that, too.

It’s completely hedonistic, and I love every minute of it. I also love that the storyline is simple and fairly ambiguous, so you can take from it something that is important and meaningful to you.

Otherwise, my guilty pleasure game is Dragon Age: Origins, which is a 60ish hour game that I’ve played an embarrassing amount of times, two and a half of which were back-to-back. So there’s that.

What game is your guilty pleasure? What about it makes it “guilty”?

Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you soon!
