"Come now, let us put your ghosts to rest. The crackle of a fire and the presence of a familiar hand on his shoulder jolted Shay back to reality. And one of them would fire a pistol, as the man would desperately jump to his death into the chasm, the bullet grazing his stomach. Soon, the man would be surrounded on all sides by men he once considered allies. And he could clearly see before himself, a man holding onto that same pine tree in the midst of a hailstorm, as some distant frigate rained volley upon volley of flaming mortars overhead. A single glimpse sparked the memories in Shay's mind. His gaze fell upon the nearest pine tree, the one almost reaching down into the chasm beneath, humbled by time. In a month's time, they would be back home at Halifax or Greenwich, their pockets filled with enough gold to last the whole winter.Ĭaptain Shay Patrick Cormac shouldered another log and heaved it onto the pyre. They had not received any official decree yet, but they knew too well that their commission was at an end. The crew were already drinking themselves to sleep in joy today. These games all have in common, a complex control system that can be put to use in imaginative and creative ways to get the edge over your opponents.The revelry aboard the Morrigan drifted away into the distance, carried away by the chilling Arctic breeze. Or it could be learning the complex move lists in a game like Street Fighter. Maybe it’s learning the perfect combination of angles and trajectories in Videoball. Or, perhaps, it’s using the limited running and jumping slightly better than other players to get a win in Fall Guys.
This might be understanding how the propulsion of your car lets you take to the air and hit a perfect shot in Rocket League. Whether you rise through the league tables, or just improve compared to your family, the satisfaction or getting to grips with something so monumentally challenging is really satisfying. Rather than offering assistance, these games leave you to it. Rather than relying on the stats of your character or player, you have to execute the moves yourself with timing proficiency and instinct. Whereas many games simplify getting around, these games make the complexity and depth of their movement systems part of the joy of playing them. There are a small group of games that hone this challenge down to the mechanics of moving around the environment. It takes time to understand their systems, mechanics, objectives and worlds. When someone plays a game too much it’s easy to think they are taking an easy route to something entertaining, like junk food. Games offer us challenges on many levels. Whether it’s collaborating to identify and store stock in Wilmot’s Warehouse or getting the furniture into the van neatly in Moving Out, how we work together and treat the people around us is important. Then there are games that make us aware of our co-workers. Like the game Good Job encourages us to do. This might be conversations with customers, but also the other people we work with in the office or workplace we find ourselves in. Other games, like Coffee Talk and Neo Cab help us consider the people we serve at work. Trying to manage crunch time with Going Under, or not succumbing to Tom Nook’s invitation for ever bigger mortgages in Animal Crossing, there are lots of games that can help us find some balance. Whether it’s escaping for a lunchtime walk with A Short Hike. Some address the world of work directly, while others enable us to consider our choices about how we spend our working hours. But not only to get some distance, but to play something that shines a light on why we do what we do. The games in this list offer space to reflect and escape work for a while. Most recent is their Level Up campaign that challenges businesses within the video games industry to unite and commit to change.

They have some excellent resources available for free and global helplines for a range of emotions and stresses people might be feeling, not to mention some great training resources for companies. “The worlds we create are a refuge for many,” they say about video games, to highlight the importance of also looking after those people who make these amazing spaces. The Safe In Our World charity addresses this world of work and video games to foster positive mental health wellbeing and deliver support for players, developers, publishers and retailers.
