Some games bring me in the zone/give me flow like no others.
For example the following games do that for me:
- Olli Olli
- Contra (NES)
- Dark Souls
- Street Fighter II (SNES)
- Street Fighter 3
- Street Fighter 6
- Like Dreamer
- Choplifter HD
- XCOM
- Infested Planet
- Tetris Effect
What games are providing you with flow experiences?
There are a lot of cues that happen in the game and you just kind of respond to that. I mostly play roaming supports so my brain is wired to go straight to mid after recall then look around the map to see where my presence is useful. The most obvious cues are the junglers.
Anyway, it’s kind of like flash cards. When you memorize things with flash cards, at some point you don’t really think anymore. There’s a default answer to every situation. But sometimes you get it wrong though. If you get it wrong too often, then those are bad habits.
