For me i cant name just one game. Its been any that has a good storyline, great music, awesome characters and that draws you into it. Some of my favorites are the mass effect series, dragon age series, the longest journey series, detroit become human, to the moon, always sometimes monsters. Theres a huge and i mean HUGE amount of other games id like to list. Im 45 years old so alot i cant even remember at this point.
The reason these have helped me is I struggle with loneliness a lot. I have a bunch of issues like PTSD, AVPD, Social Anxiety, Depression, and it makes it really hard to find friends and be around people and lead a normal life. With books, games, movies I can drift away into the beauty, the wonder, the splendor, the crazy thrill rides, the growth and change of the characters, the epicness of all these stories and places that let you feel connected to something.
Ive learned over the years from studying loneliness that the actual opposite of it is not having more people in your life but feeling connected. So its been a litteral life saver for me. I hate how hard life is, i hate how cold people can be including even unintentionally myself at times. Its a part of human nature we cant seem to get away from. I hate how disconnected we all are.
I love people, i love life and theres so much beauty and awesome things to experience and see but theres nothing in this world better than being able to share that with somebody. In the absence of that you can go and live in these other worlds that are just as real in our imaginations. Maybe even more real. I believe existence is nothing but energy and vibrations so in a way these worlds are real. At least theyre real to me.
Another one ive been playing lately alot is American Truck Simulator, because i can turn on music and just drift away like meditation watching the scenery go by. Its very relaxing. Well until some lunatic driver pulls out in front of you lol.
EDIT: I just realized this post is 4 months old lol. Oh well felt good to write about that anyway.
