9. They Develop Your Decision-Making Skills
Our choices define us, they make us who we are and what well become. In fiction, they say the true measure of a character is in the decisions they make during crisis. And the same can be said about you and I. Games nowadays often force you into making decisions, and often rapidly, based on sensory information such as sight and sound. Do I give this response, or the other one? Do I take this course of action, or that one? Do I go right, or left? Games will often change too depending on your decisions, so even while theyre strengthening your ability to act, theyre illustrating the consequences of those acts. So any platform that forces you to make choices regularly - from your characters alignment down to the way you yourself play, the weapons youll use or the techniques youll deploy is surely to be readying you for the time when youve got to make that tough call in reality.
