Top 5 Female Villains in Video Games

Why do we play video games?

A video game gives us pleasure at any age. It gives us the opportunity to release the accumulated energy. Sometimes we just need to blow off some steam, and we play for hours. Someone can even just spend all night playing. So why do games capture our attention so much, except for pleasure and psychological relief?

Games are complex for the most part. Even easy games are complicated. To understand this, you just need to see how people, who don’t know the way around PC’s, try to play them. We need a lot of time to master a game. We deceive ourselves (somewhere in the subconscious). Our ego thinks that it knows the world, learns to manage it, gains useful skills, makes us play more and more, but in reality, it is a closed system, and the skills acquired in games are inconspicuous, at least unless they affect our outer world. Basically, when playing, we gain the skill to play better. We are not just psychologically unburdened by problems; we are psychologically distancing from the whole real world. Probably this is the reason why we become victims of self-deception.

Video games are a waste of time and a substitute for creativity, and now they are the substitution for social interaction. Although a couple of hours spent playing a video game every day are beneficial in terms of psychological relief, this is not the only way to reboot your brain. In fact, it is one of the most dangerous, because games are addictive. Where there is a place for active creativity, there is often no place for such time killers.
