Games I Enjoy

I have never been a gamer, but I am slowly becoming someone who enjoys games

Last Updated:

tl;dr

As a kid, I was always the person who used to bring board games to picnics and “fun” days. And then, I never really got into mobile gaming, but I used to play some Candy Crush and some matching games.

I have never been a gamer. I have never been a person who has “gamed”.

But somehow the word “gaming” is something I have always associated with games like Call of Duty or GTA, you know, those big, usually involves shooting or racing, kind of games.

But back in 2021, I survived my PhD because I started playing Among UsShow information for the linked content with my then roommate, and then later with a Discord group.

And when I was finishing up writing of my dissertation — I used Twitch as my background white noise. So, I think I love social, chill gaming. They have also been my go-to activity with my partner, a great way to spend time together.

So, I decided to create a list of games I enjoy. And I am always open to suggestions for similar games!
