It’s the first time I’ve revisited it since completing it for the first time around 2020. Not that you really needed any reminding that this is a video game on an entirely different level from many others, but I’ve really been struck by Rockstar’s impeccably detailed world. I’d almost forgotten just how good it is.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I was brought on to the Jump Cut Play team as a Staff Writer, where I work on news articles, features, reviews as well as video content.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

My Dad owned one as a remnant from a family business. But I type fast, so the anxiety of typing a mistake on ink never sat right with me,
