Recent studies show that video games have overall positive effects on adults when played in moderation: they can improve working memory, mental flexibility, visual processing speed, hand‑eye coordination, reflexes, and problem‑solving skills…
Games also have beneficial effects on mental health.

BUT these benefits are clear only when adults play for FUN (and not for performance): playing for enjoyment reduces anxiety, while playing to win can actually increase it…

So, relax! relax! Relax!
