Why Ever Stop Playing Video Games

I also tend to play games that involve exploration of worlds I will never experience in my own life, mastery of skills that require cognitive precision and dexterity, or philosophical rumination. I find these experiences to be a positive addition to my world and my understanding of people around me.

Care to share some of your favorites? I'd be curious to check them out.

For exploration/adventure, try Adventure[0].

For skill games, try Nidhog[1].

For a good recent psychologically engaging game, try Firewatch[2].

A spattering of other favorites: Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, the Jak and Daxter series, Antichamber, Dishonored, Skullgirls, all of the 2D Mario titles, Final Fantasy Tactics, Smash Bros, Minesweeper, Dwarf Fortress, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
