Rocket league

Any soulslike. When the boss movements click in your brain it’s very much a flow state.

Used to get this from Rocket League back in the day. My eyes would practically glaze over at times with just how automatic my movements would be.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

Factorio

Both are almost exactly like programming for me. Impossible not to get in the zone.

Any simulation game usually.

I was playing bakery sim the other day, before I knew it 6 hours had passed.

used to be smash bros melee but I can’t do it any more. my hands just can’t go that fast without seizing up here and there.

(Real life. Games dont put me in a flow state anymore it seems.)

Sekiro, and nothing else has ever come close. It’s so smooth and so fast that I drop into the flow state with no trouble at all.

Rhythm games do it for me!

• One Finger Death Punch
• Rock Band

Dead Cells, especially the first level puts me in a flow where I’m wondering at the end how I actually got there.

Apex Legends. Its a difficult game to master, but every once in a while I get “in the zone” and pull moves/plays that impress myself. It’s not often, but feels nice when it happens. I still enjoy it even though I “suck” most of the time. I basically play it as a survival game >90% of the time.

Dark Tide (Warhammer 40K). The combat just flows so well, and the relentless hordes of enemies lay on the kind of pressure that forces you to use every tool in your character’s arsenal to its maximum potential.

Don’t play it much anymore, but the original Borderlands on xbox360.

Monster Hunter Series

AVGN agrees with you when it comes to Contra (NES)

For me, it’s probably Richard Burns Rallye. Some times just everything seems to fall into place as you flow through a stage and the weight of the car transfers just right from one corner to the next. Also the boss fights especially in the souls series…
