Knight Barida Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 There are a couple of games that can help one build their mindset on maths calculations. I have played Factorio and it is a really good game on improving your maths skills. I've read that Satisfactory is another good game on that. Have you played any game that is relating purely to maths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I remember playing Bully and one of the lessons was maths. Even though it was fairly easy to answer the questions, being timed and having to do them quick definitely sharpened my maths skills. It's a shame we don't see more mini games like this.

Shagger Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 There's a difference between games that sharpen maths skills and games that simply use them. I work in engineering as my trade, so math is a way of life for me. So, with all due respect @Knight Barida and @Shortie, no video game is going to test a player's math skills that hard unless it's a true mathematical puzzle game.

killamch89 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Not really. However, there are games that have helped me to keep my memory, analytical and coordination skills sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Absolutely! I've played *Human Resource Machine*, which focuses on programming logic and math. It's a fun way to sharpen those skills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Yes! In addition to Factorio, there is Math Blaster which are devoted exclusively to challenges of numbers. It is also true that civilization demands astute mathematics for rationing and other elements of planning and city building too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, another one is Portal that one has to use spatial and geometrical understanding to solve a puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Braid is another puzzle game that requires mathematics especially with aspects to do with time and space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
