Discussion Are there any games that have legitimately affected you like firewatch?

I can’t really think of anything aside from red dead 2 that gave me new perspectives on my own life from a piece of media.

Are there any games like firewatch, that legitimately gave you that feeling? I had considered giving Edith finch a go, but I think the story of a guy escaping his life really hit me in firewatch and I’d love to play anything similar.

The Talos Principle. The philosophy behind the game was life-changing for me. On the surface it's a puzzle game, but if you follow the philosophy and really pursue all the places where it's revealed, it's one of the deepest, most magical games I've ever played. It made me cry more than once.

I loved TP1, TP2, and all the DLCs. Each one enriches the philosophy and story.
