About Hamza Haq

Hamza Haq is a firm believer in Keyboard/Mouse supremacy and will play Tekken with WASD if you let him. As a Writer at DualShockers, Baldur's Gate 3, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Elden Ring is his gaming trifecta, but he’s never one to turn down a meaty RPG if it catches his interest. When he’s not bent over a keyboard, he’s reading fantasy novels, discovering obscure podcasts, experimenting with home-brewed coffee concoctions, and trying to convince his dad that his career is, in fact, a real job.

Favorite Games and Genres

For me, the biggest pull a game can have is the promise of more. More weapons, more collectibles, more side quests, more storylines, more everything. It doesn’t matter if I never get to see it; knowing that it’s in the game and that I haven’t exhausted everything on offer is what makes me willing to invest myself in the game. 

Massive RPGs are the closest to my heart for this reason. Skyrim, Elden Ring, Witcher 3, Pathfinder: WotR, Cyberpunk 2077, Zelda totk, and Baldur’s Gate 3 are some of my all-time favorites.

Skyrim, especially because I can always depend on the modding scene to concoct something new to lose a few hunderd hours in. The Skyrim Engine is the best thing to come out of Bethesda in the last twenty years, and no one can convince me otherwise.
