My brother finds relaxation in playing Legend of Zelda after work. While video games don’t relax me as much due to the intense gameplay, my brother believes it helps him sharpen his mind by diverting his attention and requiring concentration.
I remember hearing about a study that suggested playing video games could help surgeons make fewer mistakes. While I can’t confirm the accuracy of this data, it seems plausible as games can enhance focus and steadiness, similar to other activities like golf.
Before a big college test, I used to study for a few hours and then play the intense Tekken 4 game on PlayStation 2. The game required intense concentration, providing a release from potential stress. It was popular among my roommates, who also played it before exams.
Playing Tekken 4 helped me focus on something different from my studies, possibly contributing to better performance in exams and quizzes. I made sure not to spend too much time playing video games during my university studies.
