    i find challenging action and fighting games really thrilling and satisfying. but i find if my mood isn't well, no game is really enjoyable, which probably relates to overall health.

    some of the most fun i've had is entering semi-flow states playing competitive fighting games against other players, at which point playing at a high level feels effortless and even losses are fun. sadly it's really rare for me, and i instead end up getting frustrated with myself for losing or misplaying. i've been chasing that rabbit for a while now.

        I think a good mixture of games is helpful and I’d put them into these categories.

        Problem solving and adventure games (think god of war, uncharted etc),

        world building creativity games like mincecraft and terraria and

        first person shooters or fast twitch games like COD and Rocket league.

        I think a selection of these types of games are best, just play what feels right.

              I’ve found first person shooters can quickly initiate a flow state if a person really focuses in. I’ve been studying Dr. Peats work for nearly 10 years now and I don’t think I have ever heard him discuss flow states.

              Has he or anyone adjacent to him ever talked about video games or flow states? I feel like I’ve listened to most if not all his (and probably Haidut’s) radio interviews but I don’t think I have heard it mentioned.

              I enjoy video games sometimes but I am wary of them as a waste of time and a damager of eye balls.

                Yeah Crossy road works when I am hyperactive and stressed. Play 5 mins and uninstall
                Stardew valley it's addictive as hell. It's a farming game (fishing, animals, veggies) combined with combat and discovery and craft of weapons, armor. I played for hours on my phone during winter and I didn't get drained since you produce staff in the game. It's the only one that kept my attention. Rest is garbage pay2win.
                Most important: It doesn't make me rage .
                All the competitive ones are soul-stealing.

                  I know this is probably considered the dark ages, but i was firmly a Red Alert addict. The word addict i guess gives away my fairly unhealthy connection with it, but it did supply me with a peaty experience of joyful anticipation, never adrenaline.

                    Mario 64 and similar games like Banjo-Kazooie and Mario Odyssey. The Analyze and Optimize guys even posted a study using an FPS vs Super Mario 64 with people in a retirement home on brain health I think.
