So plowing through many different games on e.g. Steam, and just playing each game for a short period (not trying to excel or improve your scores) before moving on to the next game, could somewhat satisfy #1 and #2 (novely + challenge)?
- yvdriess 10y agoMastering or thoroughly understand the system before moving on is implied :) It might also be important to play differently challenging games (#1), e.g. DotA2 + Europa Universalis 4 + CS:GO will give you a much wider spectrum of brain training than going through the japanese RPG catalog. That said, constantly seeking novelty is not good for your grit score, which seems to be a better predictor for 'success' than intelligence.
- glfharris 10y agoDepends on how much actual cognition is involved, after playing many games it could easily just become repetition. Also could come at the expense of some of the others, like networking.
