I have a few points to mention after watching this video: 1. Phil, you are amazing, and BEYOND talented. Definitely my favorite video that you’ve made so far. 2. Celeste and Shadow of the Colossus appear to be incredible examples of video games that can help us learn to process our own emotional trauma. While I haven’t played these games, I agree 10,000% (yes, I know this isn’t a real percentages) that video games can help us cope as a form of therapy. I lost my mother when I was 16 and spent many years battling depression from that loss. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was the game for me that was therapeutic and encouraged healing. Majora’s Mask is often referenced to having the Kübler-Ross model built into the storyline. Playing through that game again after losing my mother was a very effective form of therapy and helped me through the stages of grief. And is likely the reason why anyone who asks for my opinion regarding “what I think is the best Legend of Zelda title ever made?”, I will always tell them Majora’s Mask. 3. The way you switched up to Adam Sandler made me die laughing 😂 I was not ready for that Lastly, anyone who has read this long-winded comment who might be struggling with depression. You are not alone, I strongly encourage you to seek help. There are many forms of therapy, the best thing you can do for yourself is to actively seek assistance. I wish I had been more honest about my downward spiral following my experience with loss. I’m grateful for my journey, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Glad to see your videos again - I really enjoyed it
