People on the internet keep saying what a crap time it is to be a gamer right now, but here I am in my 40s and I am actually enjoying gaming now more than I have ever done in the past. Yes, I do have nostalgia for gaming on the Commodore 64, the Mega Drive, the PS and the PS2; but I think I can honestly say I have never truly enjoyed gaming more than I do at the start of 2026.
