Dealing with heartbreak, death, bullying, or just something harsh can really impact you negatively. Although video games won't cure what has happened/happening, I want to share with you my games that I have played that helped with my depression in school.
These are the only games I played during my time of sadness so I only could list 4.
As I was getting bullied in the 4th grade I picked up this game as a recommendation from my friend. Its probably one of the most happiest games I have ever played. Sailing on the blue ocean, the funny dialogue and just everything I just love.
Depression comes in many shapes or forms, such as anger. In which I suggest Punch Out!! as sometimes if there is someone in your life you just hate, take your rage out on stereotypes with this game :) Think of this game as Boxing on Wii Sports but the punching mechanic works better .
Another Wii title and a very good one, you can also play the DS version. With a nice soundtrack and funny imagery, this will definitely put you in a better mood. Rhythm Heaven is like PaRappa the Rapper with a Wiimote but way harder as you go on.
Disney and Square created this amazing experience for the PS2 and this the game I played a couple of weeks after my friend took his life. Funny dialouge and Sora's quest to find his friend Kairi makes this my most favourite game of all time.
