    Should kids play violent games?

    I don’t think kids should play violent games. I’ve noticed that age-appropriate games are better for learning, creativity, and social skills. For example, puzzle or adventure games challenge problem-solving without exposing children to unnecessary aggression or mature content.

    I play mobile games a few times a week, mostly for short sessions. For example, I enjoy Clash Royale or Candy Crush during breaks or commutes, it’s a quick way to relax without committing hours like console games.

    Do you replay your favorite games?

    Yes, I often replay favorite games. For example, I’ve gone back to GTA 5 and Hitman 3 multiple times to explore different strategies, discover hidden content, or just enjoy the story again. Replaying helps me notice details I missed the first time.

    Micro Transactions in Games

    Microtransactions can be useful but also frustrating. I’ve played games like Fortnite where optional purchases enhance cosmetics without affecting gameplay, which feels fair. But in some games, they create pay-to-win scenarios, which can ruin balance and enjoyment for players who don’t spend money.

    What do you look for in open-world games: story or sandbox vibes?

    I usually look for a balance, but I sometimes slightly turn towards story. For example, in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, I enjoy exploring the world freely, but the narrative and character development keep me invested. Sandbox elements are great, but a strong story makes the experience memorable.

    Playing as Hobby or Playing as a Profession

    I mostly play as a hobby because it’s fun and relaxing. For example, I enjoy FIFA or Hitman casually without pressure. Playing professionally is a different level, it requires strict practice, discipline, and dealing with stress, which can take away the casual enjoyment of gaming.
