Hello my name is Theresa Afful, i am a 14 year old girl that enjoys videogames more specifically I enjoy open world games,my pronouns are she/her/hers. My favorite open games are assassin creed, Far Cry 6, and Mincecraft. Not only do i enjoy open world games i also enjoy puzzle games since it forces me to think outside of the box and it i like the challenge of the game. I hate games that have a border that restricts the player to one place in the map and doesn’t have a storyline becauseI think it's boring and limits the players thinking.
