My GF and I have recently started playing WF together and have been playing a lot. We’re enjoying our time a lot and like having another multiplayer game at our disposal when Overwatch and League get on our nerves.
Now, school’s starting for me again on Monday, so we tried going to sleep a little earlier last night. I kid you not, whenever I closed my eyes, I could not think or dream of something else apart from WF. Literally, just jump, bullet jump, dash over and over and random objectives that I’m clearing before my inner eye. I couldn’t sleep properly, this kept going up until like 5am or something where I took a painkiller against my headache and a couple sprays of melatonin so I can fall asleep finally.
Long story short, we went to sleep around 12pm so so we can wake up at 8am for some normalcy and now it’s 11am :D
I had barely even been playing the game the past two days - my brain just thought it needs another fix or something.
Something like that ever happen to you?
I don’t think I ever dreamt of Warframe (or if I did I forgot, I’m terrible at remembering dreams) but during my peak playtime days I definitely had moments where I tried to bullet jump in other games and wondered why I’m not going fast. This game’s parkour system really is something else!
I’ve had dreams of other games before that occupied a lot of brainpower for days at a time before (Balatro, Slice & Dice, Diablo) but not like this. I literally couldn’t sleep properly because my dreams were too demanding kinda. 0/10 can’t recommend
For sure! It’s super simple but it works so well and makes for a super fast game. The game would probably not be half as fun if they stripped it of all the movement abilities
It’s called the “Tetris effect”.
I used to get this with Path of Exile after many hours of running through maps spamming the same ability.
It hits super hard after even moderate sessions of guitar hero.
PoE did that for me too
At some point I could legit go mapping in my inner eye
Hours and hours of mashing a single ability and running through maps…it’s going to affect your brain at some point.
