Video games are often seen as a form of entertainment, but they can also be a powerful tool for learning. Through games, we can explore different cultures, learn about complex topics, and even develop new skills. But some games go even further, teaching us about ourselves and the world around us in ways that are both profound and thought-provoking.

Here are a few games that teach us about ourselves and the world around us, according to our employees in Tamatem Games:

This War of Mine

This War of Mine is a real-time strategy game that puts the player in control of a group of civilians trying to survive during a war. The game forces the player to make difficult choices, such as whether to steal from other survivors or risk their own life to help others. This War of Mine is a harrowing and powerful game that teaches us about the human cost of war.

Papers, Please

Papers, Please is a puzzle game in which the player takes on the role of a border inspector in a communist country. The player must examine the passports of travellers and decide whether to allow them entry into the country. Papers, Please is a thought-provoking game that teaches us about the importance of empathy and the power of bureaucracy.

To the Moon

To the Moon is an RPG game in which the player takes on the role of two doctors who can implant memories into people’s minds. The player is tasked with helping an old man fulfil his dying wish: to visit the moon. To the Moon is a heartwarming and emotional game that teaches us about the importance of family and the power of love.

Outer Wilds

Outer Wilds is a first-person exploration game in which the player takes on the role of a space explorer. The player is tasked with exploring a solar system and learning about its secrets. Outer Wilds is a mysterious and thought-provoking game that teaches us about the vastness of the universe and the importance of curiosity.

Disco Elysium

Disco Elysium is an isometric RPG game in which the player takes on the role of a detective investigating a murder. The player must interact with a variety of characters and make choices that will shape the story and the player’s own character. Disco Elysium is a complex and challenging game that teaches us about the human condition and the importance of choice.

These are just a few examples of games that teach us about ourselves and the world around us. By playing these games, we can learn about complex topics, develop new skills, and even gain a better understanding of ourselves.
