Maybe strategic thinking from a strategy game, improved hand-eye coordination, or even better social skills from online multiplayer games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Playing RTS games such as Dawn of War has helped me become a better strategist. It was more like I was super good at planning, and it was evident with the way that I work toward handling the many projects that I have at hand. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, games like Disco Elysium have actually helped me develop better emotional intelligence and perspective-taking. The thought cabinet system in the game really made me think deeply about how different ideas influence our decisions, and I’ve found that useful in my real-life interactions.

Lens Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 If you try out real time strategy games like Starcraft and Civilization, it will improved your problem-solving skills. I was able to solve complex problems learning from these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I play Tetris a lot, and it has subtle effects on how I want my stuffs to be well arranged and aligned.

That's a great observation and I also want to chip in the fact that Tetris has indeed honed my spatial reasoning and I now pay attention to details. It's really amazing how it happened.
