His journey grew serious when he got his hands on Wolfenstein 3-D at a friend’s place. That moment marked the beginning of his love for immersive shooters.
Currently, Dave is immersed in a game called Aether & Iron, which he describes as a love letter to art deco and retro futurism. He’s a huge fan of classic CRPGs too, mentioning titles like Baldur’s Gate and Fallout as his all-time favorites.

He surprisingly finds it to be an amazing single-player experience, especially for those who enjoy exploring and hunting cryptids. He believes it has the best map the series has seen, making it a worthy play even if you’re not into the multiplayer aspect.
On the nostalgic side, he also enjoys a modded version of Vice City, merging the best parts from different platforms, making it his go-to GTA experience. For him, it’s all about the vibe of the ’80s Miami, a place he’s fond of from his childhood.
