I have several!
Disco Elysium: I played Disco Elysium at a dark time in my life and seeing the protagonist hit absolute rock bottom and begin to cope with his myriad problems throughout the story amidst how fucked his situation (and the world's) was resonated with me a lot. I could go on a lot longer about this game, but it definitely changed my perspective on life and the world.
Mr. Robot: What starts out as a story about a hacker and the ethics of technology ends up as a look at personal trauma and coping mechanisms. As someone in tech who's dealt with a lot of mental health issues throughout my life, I (and my sister) saw a lot of me reflected in Elliot as well.
A lot of similarities between those two pieces of media, lol
Story time. I was taking about Christian Slater and how badass an actor he is and we both agreed on that point. Immediately to back up outlr claims I say, "Yeah Mr Robot is one best peices of media because he's in that."
Andy friend looks at me and just says he thought it was so dumb. I was appalled. I should have called him a fucking idiot but im not that type guy. Anyway he lost points in my book.
I agree with everything you just said about Mr Robot.
Ah. I had KotORII:TSL in the same role. While the game you're talking about was apparently that for one girl with which we didn't understand each other. But the game is good and I think it did help me get to the better condition I'm in now.
