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?

    Katana Zero did it for me

    Infinite forest for Destiny 2’s Halloween event did it as well

    Trackmania sometimes does it

    Super Hexagon too

      Destiny 2

      As a launch computer player I have never been so scorned by how shit a game could be

      I had such high hopes and low expectations and it ruined me

    Doom Eternal and especially its challenge arenas are immediately what came to mind for me!

    While id soft screwed Mick Gordon on the OST, they did so much right in the gunplay and movement mechanics in that game. Rotating through the power trinity and bhopping around an arena whilst gibbing demons is something I just don’t tire of.

        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.

    Any soulslike. When the boss movements click in your brain it’s very much a flow state.

    Any simulation game usually.

    I was playing bakery sim the other day, before I knew it 6 hours had passed.

    Dead Cells, especially the first level puts me in a flow where I’m wondering at the end how I actually got there.

    For me, it’s probably Richard Burns Rallye. Some times just everything seems to fall into place as you flow through a stage and the weight of the car transfers just right from one corner to the next. Also the boss fights especially in the souls series…

    Used to get this from Rocket League back in the day. My eyes would practically glaze over at times with just how automatic my movements would be.
