Seeing my gf embrace gaming through Infinity Nikki has been amazing

Seeing my girlfriend, who usually watches me play games, dive headfirst into Infinity Nikki has been incredible. Over the eight years we've been together, she's always loved games, but she'd always have trouble with the controls, especially in tense moments.

Then this year, she was excited for this game I'd never heard of called Infinity Nikki. For the past few months it was, "the screenshots look amazing!" and "is it out yet?" I hadn't seen her this excited for a game since Animal Crossing.

And now that it's out, it's been the perfect game for her. It's got everything she loves—making outfits, photography, exploring, cute animals—and she can enjoy it at her own pace. She can take as much time as she needs to aim at an enemy or tackle a tough jumping puzzle.

And I've noticed she's gotten so much more confident with a controller. She easily maneuvers the camera while running around, judges jumps really carefully, and never hesitates to figure out where a button is. I'm watching her easily take down some enemies to get materials as I write this. She's practically a Pro Gamer™ now!

I see us playing Infinity Nikki together for many years to come. I hope it has a long and healthy lifespan.
