Beside gaming, I also enjoyed listening to music and watching movie. Music is helpful to our mental well-being. It can energise you or help you express or deal with difficult emotion.
Movies provides both enjoyment and reduce stress and even turn all negative thoughts into the better, as long as it is enjoyable in auditory and vision. You also can learn about new cultures from it.
Those things can be very enjoyable from a third-person perspective. On the other hand, game allows you to take a first-person perspective and take part in the game by using controller to interact with it. Music and movies are great but static when you are listening or watching them. You can repeat hundreds of times with the same experience, but you can’t interact with them. Compared to music and movies, the infinite possibilities that game interaction brings every journey is unique.
