I think all these "brain training" games aren't as engaging as people think. They forget creative problem solving. Games like "The Witness" and "Portal 2" require a lot more critical thinking.

[@manikhari5619]

I want link of these games...

[@DisasterEXE]

You're not wrong, but these are phone games. Portal 2 definitely requires critical thinking, but it also requires you to be dexterous with a mouse and keyboard (or gamepad). Furthermore, Portal 2 is a story-based puzzle game - believe it or not, that makes a difference. I've been trying the Elevate app and I'm on a 15 day streak. I really wish the paid version was more inexpensive but honestly I love what they've done and I would pay full price if I could right now.

Elevate and Lumosity are great! What both are missing is multi-player functionality. During cover-19 it is more helpful to compete against others even if we are of different levels. Lumosity got a lot of bad rap because of misleading advertising but that doesn't make it all bad. It is more about building or refreshing skills. I LOVE Taking Root, Contextual, and Word Bubbles. Tidal Treasures and Train of Thought really do focus on memory and concentration. I would be very happy if our 19 year old son would play either Lumosity or Elevate, just because it would would help him with his reading skills.

Games are only needed by modern societies because the don't have the ambition to learnhow to do anything more worthwhile. Like learn how to take care of their own health, learn how to grow medicinal herbs, learn how to actually cook! How about learning how to build simple, attractive shelves, end tables, lamps? This generation is lost, totally lost. Games are for really old people like me (age 82) who can't get into the garage to build stuff.

[@smalltownglobalproductions]

There are a lot of factors that go into how you can improve your cognitive memory and other cognitive functions. No one game has the answer but games definitely have the potential to unlock skills that perhaps we ignore a lot of the time that can be applied to the real world. Why do you think the military use the simulations games before they send people out to the battlefield? Because they work. When you play something in your mind over and over, research shows you get better at it even when you don't practice it. Best solution for improving your brain is to play a variety of games and also to do a variety of activities that use both the left and right brain to solve tasks. Even playing a piano or other instrument can achieve this. Think outside the box and be good to your brain.

This review sounded to me completely disconnected from the reality that affect most people. Some play games because it's a pass time, some others because they just like to play. So, to me there is absolutely no point whatsoever to start a review on what games should people be playing when the basics are overlooked. This brain training game is indeed a good idea, however since they decided to make it it fun, it's therefore only just a useless pass time that enables them to cash in by millions of dollars. Just like the frog crossing the freeway, exactly the same.
