I appreciate it when games have a special place in their world that feels like home.
Where the playable character and you as the player can retreat and feel safe.
For example, the tower in the game Firewatch. In Life is Strange: True Colors, it's your flat above the bar. And in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, I enjoyed returning to Groove Street after a mission. This list could go on forever, and it breaks my heart to give just three examples before I get to my main one.
POKÈMON SAPPHIRE
I have returned to my house again and again throughout my adventure.
And I know there is nothing to do there except talk to your mother or to the professor.
But I have this nice, relaxed feeling that I am at home. At a certain point, I realized how far I have come. I started here without any Pokémon and didn't know anyone. And now I have a bag full of Pokémon and many new friends.
When I think about it, I feel melancholic and proud at the same time.
Or maybe I should stop listening to the Littleroot Town soundtrack on repeat and get on with my life.
Thank you for reading my review. 💙❤️💚
