Journey of a Game Designer

On the second day of the Gamescom, I didn't play as many games as before, but bigger titles instead. Meaning I spent more time in queues. It was still a lot of fun though, and most of the games were worth the wait. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate by Nintendo The day began with a blast and I onlay had to wait 10 minutes to play it. I dare saying that probably not everyone was as lucky as me, since most of the time there was a big queue of 5/6 hours. Smash Bros.

In this game you play as a wolf who can transform into other animals. While I don't know what the story is about, the atmosphere was fantastic.
