Some games bring me in the zone/give me flow like no others.
For example the following games do that for me:
- Olli Olli
- Contra (NES)
- Dark Souls
- Street Fighter II (SNES)
- Street Fighter 3
- Street Fighter 6
- Like Dreamer
- Choplifter HD
- XCOM
- Infested Planet
- Tetris Effect
What games are providing you with flow experiences?
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
Factorio
Both are almost exactly like programming for me. Impossible not to get in the zone.
I go between flow and “burn it to the ground” with Foctorio.
Do you do DCSS with pictures or @?
Used to get this from Rocket League back in the day. My eyes would practically glaze over at times with just how automatic my movements would be.
Katana Zero did it for me
Infinite forest for Destiny 2’s Halloween event did it as well
Trackmania sometimes does it
Super Hexagon too
Sekiro, and nothing else has ever come close. It’s so smooth and so fast that I drop into the flow state with no trouble at all.
Doom Eternal and especially its challenge arenas are immediately what came to mind for me!
While id soft screwed Mick Gordon on the OST, they did so much right in the gunplay and movement mechanics in that game. Rotating through the power trinity and bhopping around an arena whilst gibbing demons is something I just don’t tire of.
