The Last of Us 2 — 5. The Last of Us 2: The Last of Us 2 is so dark and brutal that some players hated it more than they loved it. The first game was already bombastic in terms of graphics, and the facial expressions of each character made us feel their pain or joy just like they did. The second part went a step further, even if we would have liked to do without the explosion of negative feelings at the end... (Credit: Naughty Dog)

Ghost of Tshushima — 4. Ghost of Tsushima: The setting, the environment, the story, and especially the animation makes this game a masterpiece. Rarely have I experienced a game that arouses so many emotions from its appearance alone. The graphics and atmosphere are so breathtaking that you'll have to stop and start the extensive photo mode almost every minute! (Credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment)

Hellblade — 3. Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice: In Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice you'll play Senua, a Celtic warrior with a psychosis that is constantly fighting against her. Accompanied by the voices in her head, the atmosphere is mainly used as a narrative element to realize Senua's psychosis. From one moment to the next, a sunny clearing is covered with shadows, formerly small shadows of branches suddenly become the only rays of light. Hellblade is simply outstanding audiovisually.

Microsoft flight simulater — 2. Microsoft Flight Simulator: Let's move on to a slightly different game. Microsoft Flight Simulator not only uses accurate, geographic data from Bing Maps, but also real-time weather information that makes the game more of a visual spectacle than a simulator. You'll experience 1-on-1 what it looks like to be at 10,000 feet. Especially on the ultra-graphics settings, you'll see details from jagged, snow-covered mountain ranges, to vast desert valleys, to bustling cities, that you've rarely seen before in a video game.

Late shift game — 1. Late Shift: You've probably never heard of this game. That's because Late Shift is actually a motion picture where the audience makes decisions via their smartphones. With this, you decide the fate of the characters. These look so real that you'll be feverish after each decision, and sometimes doubt yourself when they don't lead to the desired result. There are numerous different storylines, and seven different outcomes. Give the game a chance and see for yourself which ending you'll reach. (Credit: Wales Interactive)

We love games for many reasons. Not only because they are fun, but also because they deal with different facets of our daily lives. Some of these benefits are physical, psychological, and social. Others make us feel so immersed in a world, that we almost feel a part of it. Inevitably, you'll snap out of it and come back to the real world, and of course, tastes differ when it comes to storylines and characters, but we have to agree on one thing... These 5 titles are so immersive and realistic that you could almost forget that they are video games.
