What we’ve been playing – “Whether he means to or not, he serves sass all over town”
The article is a weekly roundup in which four writers describe the games they have been playing. Their experiences range from comic surprises and renewed enthusiasm to the pleasures of discovering a much-loved game for the first time.
One writer enjoys the expressive look of young Link in *Ocarina of Time*, while another is absorbed in *World of Warcraft: Forever* and has let workouts slide. A newcomer to *Ocarina of Time* praises its warmth, sadness and eerie details, and hopes for a *Majora’s Mask* remake. The fourth writer is warming to *Fire Emblem* as its strategy deepens, despite its revealing character designs and an unexpected parade scene.
In short
- Four writers share their latest gaming obsessions.
- *Ocarina of Time* charms both with nostalgia and surprise.
- *World of Warcraft* has displaced one writer’s gym routine.
Explained simply
Video game roundups often bring together personal impressions of very different titles, from older favourites to newer releases. They can help readers understand what draws players to a game, whether that is its characters, atmosphere, story or strategic choices.
The games here include The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a much-loved adventure starring the young hero Link; World of Warcraft, an online fantasy game; and Fire Emblem, a series built around turn-based battles and character relationships. The writers’ differing levels of familiarity also show how a game can feel to someone revisiting it and to someone encountering it for the first time.
