8 Games That Radically Changed How You See The World
6. Dark Souls
It might sound silly at first, but genuinely, Dark Souls and really the entire Soulsborne brand has been teaching players the virtues of patience and perseverance the whole damn time.
While many players will bounce off FromSoftware's tough action games in record time, for those who refuse to tap out, their brains are being slyly reprogrammed to appreciate the merits of getting knocked down, dusting yourself off, leaning your lessons, and trying again until you succeed.
Applying yourself and growing from your mistakes is vital in these games just as it is in life, and for anyone just coasting through existence, Soulsborne games can be weirdly inspiring in their own way.
No matter how insurmountable a task might seem, there is (usually) a way through, even if you might need to knuckle down and take a few nasty hits first.
This isn't the reason why these games are so popular, but in its own disarming way it's certainly helped them resonate with millions, consciously or not.
