Nioh 2 code provided by Sony.

During times of stress, I usually gravitate towards more traditionally "relaxing" games. With the current state of things, however, I find myself. perhaps paradoxically, pursuing difficulty and intensity in my games to a level I never normally do. Let's take a look at some of the psychological reasons this might be.

(Sounds weird to have to clarify this but obviously video games are no substitute for actual therapy. If you're struggling with mental health issues, please seek professional help. Also, I really hope you're all doing OK out there. Stay safe!)
