How do you feel, when you finish playing a good game?

[Majora]

I feel as though that game becomes a part of my identity, part of my life story somehow; it’s difficult to explain, but when I get really taken in by a game and its world, it almost feels as though I was “actually” in that world. It’s as though I’ve “lived” that life, that experience, and I’m left walking away from it changed somehow. I think the games that always spring to mind that have had these profound impacts on me are Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask and The Witcher 3. I have not explained myself well at all with this post, but it’s genuinely because I find it difficult to accurately convey what it is that I feel/experience/mean. When it’s over, it’s almost as thought it’s never truly over as it lives on inside me. I hate that I can’t describe coherently what I mean! I love that gaming can take me away in ways nothing else can.
