✦ Death Stranding - Forces you to slow down and appreciate your environment. Great for grounding when life feels out of your control.

✦ Life is Strange - Choices that impact relationships in meaningful ways. I played this when heavily depressed and it was cathartic.

✦ Prey (2017) - Uncover the secrets on a space station, told by the creators of Dishonored. Simply a fantastically fresh game I wish more people knew about.

✦ Kingdom Come Deliverance - You play as a weak peasant as he makes something of himself. There is a huge focus on immersion, deliberately going against the grain of many gaming trends to create a shockingly immersive & unique experience.
