What games bring you 'in the zone' / provide a 'flow' experience for you? (self.games)

Some games bring me in the zone/give me flow like no others.

For example the following games do that for me:

  • Olli Olli
  • Contra (NES)
  • Dark Souls
  • Street Fighter II (SNES)
  • Street Fighter 3
  • Street Fighter 6
  • Like Dreamer
  • Choplifter HD
  • XCOM
  • Infested Planet
  • Tetris Effect

What games are providing you with flow experiences?

Rogue Legacy does it for me in a pinch.

The Last of Us does too, but I tend to zone out and take my time sneaking around or observing stuff. So I don't play it unless I know I have a lot of time to waste.

Sound Shapes did it for me too, but I haven't played in awhile.

Monster Hunter World once I got down the controls/equipment well enough that I didn't have to think about them. But once I dropped it, I didn't go back because I don't have time to relearn.

Halo Reach would take my time for hundreds of hours back in the day. It's a unfortunate/fortunate that the Master Chief Collection doesn't include multi-team in matchmaking.

Xcom was a good one too during missions. I have some great war stories from that game. My first encounter with chryssalids was straight out of a horror movie. Quickly went FUBAR and barely got one soldier out alive.
