This is such an interesting topic! I know it requires a lot from the player to engage with a game like that, but it also takes the right kind of design to encourage that! Lots of games out there try to have moments like this but it can feel like padding a lot of times (looking at you, Skyward Sword)

Oh my god, thank you for saying this!! It’s sooo true, when a game gets it, it’s like magic, but when it’s not used right, it’s like…why am I even here rn? lol
But yeah, when it’s intentional and gives you space to actually be, that’s where it’s at.

"What if you just spent time for the sake of it? What if nothing counted?”

It sounds like these games get it right in that the time we spend just being *is* what counts the most.

innerspiral.lol•60 days ago

Pretty much! It’s wild how rare that feeling is, but it’s also the most human thing, just being there and letting the moment count for itself.
