So I'm currently playing through Hollow Knight, and two months ago I played through (and loved) Ori and the Blind Forest.

Two Metroidvanias inside two months. Okay I hear you ask, what of it?

Well, those are the first Metroidvanias (or 'Search Action games, for those in the know) that I've ever really played for longer than ten minutes. To say I bounce off those sorts of games would be an understatement.

So, as you've gotten older, have you noticed that your tastes in games has evolved in any meaningful way?

I've always gone through games and genres as phases, and what I'm playing has always reflected something about the amount of time/energy I have for games. I used to play a lot of souls games, but played them so much that the charm is completely gone for me now. They're intense and require a lot of focus, focus I used to have a lot more of when I wasn't working so much. As a teen I played a lot of multiplayer shooters like COD or Battlefield, then during college I was playing CSGO, later on I even dabbled in valorant. But, again, I don't have time for that anymore. If you can't grind and practice for hours every day, you fall behind and can't compete, so I play a lot more singleplayer stuff now, like Ace Attorney, Baldur's Gate 3, Genshin Impact, stuff like that.
