2/19/2023 0 Comments The forgotten city modRecently, though, thanks to a full-throated recommendation from my favorite video game podcast, I completely fell in love with a game that is the definition of small: barely 10 hours long, made by a team of only a handful of developers, and originally conceived as an add-on to a much, much larger game. I’ve mostly found it comforting to play gigantic games - JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games) that can take hundreds of hours to complete - or open-world adventures where you can wander a fictional countryside and venture beyond the walls of your one-bedroom apartment for an hour or five. I’d played them steadily since I was a kid, occasionally becoming obsessed with this franchise or that throughout my 20s, but it wasn’t until I had nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody to do it with that this lightly pulsating rhythm beneath my day-to-day existence became a full-blown roar. It would be hard to overstate the degree to which I’ve become addicted to video games during the pandemic.
