Do you think gaming is the best stress relief?

[Alpharius]

Playing video games is a good means of entertainment. It helps me to relax depending on the kind of games I want to play because there are games which add to my stress because of how tough the gameplay is. There are other means of relaxation like watching movies, playing music and etc but do you think gaming is the best way for stress relief?

Sometimes going to a rage room where you can throw and break stuff is the best way as well. But yeah, playing games is a good enough way.

Not all games. For example, games like resident evil and COD are definitely not stress relievers for me. If anything they even add to it! But some selected RTS games and make other types that are not too demanding can help in easing any stress that I might have

It depends on individual interests. If you enjoy gaming, it is certainly the best stress relief, but those who are not into gaming, how can games be best stress relief for them. Even though I enjoy gaming, and I can de-stress myself through gaming, sometimes I find that gaming makes me more agile, so I sit and relax with TV shows.
