WRITER BIO
After making memories playing Ratchet & Clank on PS5, Laura Francis has found her DualSense literally collecting dust and cat hair yet again.
Memories and video games are often inextricably linked. Games create a moment in time that you can immediately be transported back to whenever you come back and revisit them. Memories and personal experiences attached to a game can either diminish or enhance it for you, but above all, can create a unique experience with it.
It can either be the light in the middle of darkness or a huge black cloud. When you do decide to replay the game or even hear it mentioned again, it triggers a tidal wave of memories. It’s the experience of a game, where you were, what you were wearing, a certain point in your life, personal circumstances, and life moments that can make or break a game for you.
