1. Minecraft
Minecraft is one of the most open sandbox games. Players can create an entire world with small blocks, from small houses to large cities. This limitlessness makes players feel that the world they form is directly our world. Whether you choose the adventure, survival, or creative modes. This game is like a white canvas waiting for us to fulfill our dreams. It makes many people feel like they are really living in another world.
2. The Sims Series
When it comes to games that allow us to “live another life”, it is inevitable that The Sims, a legendary game from the 2000s and developed to the present day, will allow players to create characters that can almost be copied from themselves. From your body shape to your habits and life path, you can choose to be a businessman, an artist, an athlete, or even a scientist. Trying to make this kind of second-life decision, The Sims is not just a simulation game, but like another life experience where players can fully enter and participate.
3. DAVE THE DIVER
Despite being a small indie game, DAVE THE DIVER creates an underwater world that captivates players and makes waves around the world. Despite the obvious main character, the friendliness and charm of the game’s lifestyle make players feel like they are immersed in the world of the sea and become part of a warm small village.
4. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The game became a popular trend during Covid because it allowed players to escape from the real world to live on a deserted island. Do daily activities, meet with neighbors who are cute animals, everything goes on in a slow life. It makes us feel relaxed like we are really moving to another place. The highlight is the friendliness of the neighbors who gradually become our best friends, making Animal Crossing another warm world that many people don’t want to come out at all.
5. Stardew Valley
From exhausting city life to moving to farming in the valley, Stardew Valley offers an experience that makes players feel like they’re starting a new life. We can grow vegetables, raise animals, mine, fish, and build relationships with the villagers. Its charm is the warmth that gradually builds up until the player feels like they have another home in this game world. Anyone who has ever been immersed in this game will feel that Stardew Valley is a parallel world that you really want to go back to every day.
6. Palia
Palia is a slow-life online game that combines farming, fishing, and socializing with other players. Uniqueness is to build a community together. Players are not alone, but can share the world with new friends. Do activities together and slowly. Build more beautiful homes and farms Palia’s feeling is different from other slow-life games because it’s “another world where we have real neighbors” that are played by humans, not NPCs that are set up.
7. Coral Island
The game is inspired by Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, but is refreshed with an underwater world and tropical island atmosphere. Players will be able to live a slow life, farm, fish, and help restore the marine ecosystem, making Coral Island not only living in a village, but also taking care of another beautiful world like a new sea-themed paradise. The atmosphere in the community will be full of diversity, whether it is quirks, ages, genders, skin colors, everyone is gathered in this community in a dimensional way.
8. inZOI
The game, which many people call “The Sims Unreal Engine 5 version” because of the realism of the visuals and details, players can create an avatar that looks almost like themselves to live in a big city full of activities. The distinctiveness is the graphics that make the player feel like they have actually moved into that world, and the updates that add possibilities to the virtual life, making inZOI a parallel world that invites long-term immersion.
9. VRChat
VRChat is your gateway to virtual worlds that are virtually boundless. Players can choose their avatar to their heart’s content, and socialize with other players through VR or even a regular screen. From small rooms to large cities, the feeling of putting on VR glasses and stepping in and talking to other people in our avatars. This makes VRChat not just a game, but another world in which we actually exist. Focus on talking and getting to know friends online. The players in it are always ready to be your friends.
10. Roblox
Roblox is more than just a game, it’s a platform that allows players to create their own games and share them with others. The diverse and limitless world allows players to choose their own life, be an adventurer, a café owner, or even a game creator himself. Everything makes Roblox a never-ending parallel universe and an “other world” that anyone can have. You can have your own house in some games: garden, plant trees, collect your own crops. When I’m bored, I invite my friends to go out. If you have a regular to play with, Roblox is a multi-dimensional world that really wants to be anything.
These games are clear evidence that video games are not just a medium of entertainment, but can create an “alternate world” that we really want to escape to or live a new life. Whether it’s a valley, a bustling city, or a cozy deserted island, each world has its own charm that keeps us immersed in it for so long that we forget about time. For those who want to escape the truth for a moment. These games are always waiting for you to step into.
