Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you’ve played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.

Oblivion.
I think I was 12 or so when I first played it and absolutely no other moment in gaming in my life beats the pure joy and ecstasy I felt when, on my second start of the game, instead of leaving the sewers and going straight to Vilverin, I turned around and found the Imperial City and ran to it, being amazed that I just could do it and the game just let me do it. It was the first time I understood the concept of an open world game.
My first start of the game I went straight to Vilverin and couldn’t go down the first flight of stairs because I was looting everything and I got over-encumbered. I’m not a native English speaker, and at the time I didn’t understand what that word meant, so I just thought I didn’t something wrong since I couldn’t move or do anything and just decided to start again.
