Best games for mens mental health awareness month

[Shinoskay]

Hello everyone! Since it's mens mental health awareness month, I'm curious: what mens mental health awareness games or characters do you enjoy? I'm open to recommendations, whether they're games explicitly centered around mens mental health awareness themes or simply feature mens mental health characters.

Here are a few of my favorites:
The happy game
Shut in
Dont starve together


There really arent that many I know of. I'd love to hear your recommendations too! Thank you ahead of time, and I hope you all have a good mens mental health awareness month!

What about the inverse of mental health? What about the people who are not mentally anything that is anything remotely resembling OK, and it shouldn't be left to fester.

Cuz it do fester.

Crazy ew.

not the time or the place, unless you want to highlight how anyone not men tend to get support while men are not only left in the wind but then torn apart whenever they inevitably fail their lonely struggle.

now is the time to bring awareness, to recognize the struggle. You, others, can go back to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on men after the national mens mental health awareness is over.

(its also possible I misunderstood you, sorry if I did. interpreted your post best i could)

Dark Souls, there are hundreds of videos online made by young men who claim it helped immensely with their mental health.

how does dark souls raise awareness of mens mental health?

By helping thousands of men with their mental health issues and the subsequent videos and blog posts that arise from that experience which then help others make the same positive changes to their own mental health. The ability to “get gud” and overcome something based on your own skills and not simply having a game hold your hand or make you ridiculously overpowered seems to translate over into the real world for a lot of young men who are struggling with mental health issues.

Its 100% about her mental health..

I didn't say anything about Senua. I didn't say there weren't female focused mental health games.

I said there weren't a lot of mental health games in general.

I said there are next to none about men they are always female..

You didn't say 'next to none'.

You said "There are" in response to me saying there aren't many mental health games in general and then stated that they are "always female".

Which is true, the ones that exist are always women.

Perhaps the Bioshock series.

The videos I have referenced exist and have helped people immensely with mental health problems, whether your feelings agree with it or not is irrelevant and trying to paint me as a drug user for having a different opinion says more about you than I.

Anything with females in it

Interesting take from a 30 year old man pretending to be a female in their profile.

Any game where you can dig a hole in it. So Valheim is my suggestion. It's got vikings, and hole digging. The two for one combo.

What does hole digging have to do with mens health?

Sometimes you've just gotta go to the back yard and dig a big hole.

I honestly cant disagree with this current line of conversation.

Exactly. Or get a game that let's you do it instead.

Death stranding.

Party Hard/Party Hard 2. The player character has some mental health struggles.

I would also say Crusader Kings 3. Your character can become stressed and can even die from stress and stress induced mental breaks, depression, etc. On the other side of that coin there are a number of things the player can do to lower stress and be healthy mentally and physically.
