Does gaming reduce your stress?

Not a very stressful person to begin with, it's very rare I even let tough days at work, or stupid stuff on the internet wear me down.

However I would note a good game, just like some great music, or chill read will help me be very mellow and further at peace.

So, overall yes. I even find Survival Horror games cozy, which may seem weird to some.

For me, it does help relieving stress on a certain game that's more relaxing after leaving work and as soon as I'm inside my house, I'm ready to play something on my gaming PC for another exciting action/adventure to take the stress off my shoulders.

Games that are relaxing to relieving stress would be:

• Yu-Gi-Oh card games
• No Man's Sky
• Tetris gaming

If I'm stressed and then play a game, I will always feel less stressed after.

Both yes and no. Depends on the game.

I'm not often stressed, but yes. I feel at home/at ease when playing games, been doing it my whole life.

It depends on the port quality.

Depends on the game. Warframe, Horizon games, Subnautica? Less stress. Total War: Warhammer, XCOM, Doom? More stress, but that's the point.

Well... Yes and No , it really depends how my first experience of a game is like then I'll take a look at how much I can stretch the replay value for better or worse. Even when it's at it's most difficult it's something I welcome with open arms

Depends if the game is like Sonic then less stress.

It actually depends. If I'm playing an idle game, such as Tycoon Capitalist Idle, I definitely find it very relaxing. But if I'm on a puzzle in a Japanese RPG for a long time, I really start to feel frustrated, and my stress levels go up significantly.

Yes, but it depends on the game. Recently I played games on lucky 101, this app provides a variety of games to play. So, i played a multiple games on on this app and it felt like I am refreshing myself and it was truely amazing experience.

the only time that a videogame gives me stress or gets me riled up is when I try to do online multiplayer for Mortal Kombat 11 and/or Mortal Kombat 1.

Other people online they overdo it with the comos etc and they don't ease up
