games to distract from depression?

[optimum.opossum]

i need a list of games, preferably free, that will help me take my mind off of my depression and anxiety, even if it's only for a little while. im just not in a good place right now and this is the only thing i could think to do.

And what exactly are you looking for in a game? Genre? Helps if you elaborate, otherwise there's so many for people to pointlessly suggest for you that won't even fit your taste.

i like psychological horror games, story rich games, and games that involve logic.

I would reccomend "The Last of Us". It's an emotional, story rich, post-apocalyptic game. However, it's only on Playstation 3.

It is just sitting in my inventory, and needs a good home.

Games with a good story, such as Undertale or Portal 2, to evade yourself from reality, which can be quite ♥♥♥♥♥♥ most of the time. But don't play many hours a day, because you will only get worse. Just play them to "rest your mind".

Get "The Deed". It's a murder mystery and its free.

Edit: Sorry, it's not free, it's currently $0.49

Hope I don't annoy anyone by recommending this to everyone. I highly recommend psychonauts, it's a fun story rich platformer that is bursting with personality, the best kind of personality. Tons of comedy, serious when it needs to be, I would think it would cheer anyone up.

Also hope you're doing okay against depression, I'm not sure I could live with it myself.

It's sad that it's so underrated.

to those of you suggesting that i get out of the house, i want you to know that i do have a soicial life. it's not like all i do is sit in the house and play video games all day. i have a psychologist and he suggested video games as an alternative outlet for me, so telling me to do other things is not helpful. and in addition, depression isnt something im just going to get over. its a mental illness that im going to have for the rest of my life. i just want to relieve some of the symptoms, and gaming helps me a lot with that.

actually depression is something you "get over" lol its not like its permanent

I think you mean unknown or under appreciated. With a 95% rating, it's definitely not underrated.

Also dont think you`ll be on it forever. idk why your psychiatrist didnt recommed it. I used to have medication it helped me get out of the fog and understand more about life. I got off of it and I feel the same as how i was on the medication. great! meaning it worked. try that and you wont be asking what videogames are good to help depression because I tried doing that and I was digging my own grave.

Elder Scrolls Online = ESO:TU, an MMO that plays mostly like a single player game like Skyrim, but this isn't skyrim. ESO:TU is perfect game for depression, as it allows you to create a character and then you escape prison and get drop into the world of Tamriel, now you need to live your life the way you want to live it, become a thief, or join the war effort. lots of stuff to do in this awesome game
