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.

Tlou2 is a personal favorite for me but also the one I don’t know what to make out of it. What speaks to you in that game?

I’ve always struggled with an ed so seeing Abby and how strong she was inspired me to recover and get on my journey to being super buff and huge. More of a deeper personal reason for loving the game so much but it really hits me and gets me out of my super bad depressions.
