User blog:7GSTF/A lookback at Most Wanted

I started Choices way back in August 2016. I had no idea at the time of course, but I must have been on of its earliest players. Along with Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, which I started on July 26th, 2016, these two games kept me entertained throughout the majority of my five years of college. I generally don't get hooked on to one game or another, but these two were exceptions. SWGOH has fallen out of favour with me. I played it for three years, before closing the book. I opened it again this year, only to realize that I had no longer any love for the game. I shut the book again, probably for good this time around. However, Choices never befell that fate, ever.

Probably the reason that it never got boring was the fact that it kept reinventing itself. There was no question about the work they put in - in the early years especially. 2016-18, they probably didn't put a foot wrong. Outstanding stories were ever present, and two of their greatest series were in their hey day - The Crown and the Flame, and Endless Summer. Several other superb books kept the ball rolling, and this enabled a largely successful period. It was their golden run without question. However, thereafter, despite some bad books - which focused only on smut and pretty much nothing else, Choices did have their successes, and their announcement of BOLAS book 2 really lifts up the spirits!

Thinking back on my beginnings with the game, it is time for me to talk about the book that really started it all. Most Wanted. It is still one of the best books ever written by PB, and I had briefly explained why in my ranking list - it is in my top 25... for those who haven't read it.
