As ASMR becomes more popular, a lot of game makers are developing games with that community in mind, meaning there are a ton of games out there that complement the ASMR video players have played in the background and emphasize the tone and mood of the game players are playing at the time. With that in mind, here are some great games players can play while listing to those soothing ASMR videos.

5 Minecraft

One of the better games to play while players listen to some ASMR, Minecraft is a rather calm game for players to play mainly because there’s no linearity meaning players can do whatever they want. Because players can get lost in the world of Minecraft for hours, listening to ASMR makes things much more enjoyable since it makes the player feel less overwhelmed with doing everything that the game has to offer.

On top of that, Minecraft is also a slow-moving game at times which can make things boring at times so if players have an ASMR video going on in the background, then Minecraft comes more alive, but this aspect is contextual. Additionally, Minecraft is a game that revolves around the world players are creating, as the player pays attention to take in the world with the help of ASMR video the story gets conveyed a lot better because the calmness of ASMR matches the calmness of Minecraft and in general makes things a lot of fun to play in the end.

4 Inside

The eeriness and strangeness of Inside can make any ASMR video strange as well, with minimal sound and effects the ASMR-styled voice of the creator impacts the gameplay of Inside. The style of Inside is one of the best things that compliment and enchase the ASMR video they’re watching because just like Inside the video can have this calmness with an undertone of eeriness which can make gameplay much scarier.

This helps Inside because the game itself conveys itself through the action of what the player is doing and if players are listening to an ASMR video while playing, things feel much more noticeable and that makes things clearer for the player. Inside is already a great game for many reasons, the style, the tone, the story everything about Inside feels very different from many games in the same genre and this new ASMR content emphasizes that because not many games can work with this style of video.

3 Mirror’s Edge

The great thing about Mirror’s Edge is that players can play an ASMR video in the background and have a more fluid time playing because Mirror’s Edge is all about finding a rhythm, and players who have a video playing will find that rhythm better. Although Mirror’s Edge never got the third entry that fans wished for, there’s still a lot of content and gameplay to enjoy while listening to ASMR, which includes time trials and side missions, and many other things that are in a free-running game. Not just in gameplay, but visually like the other games on this list, Mirror’s Edge looks amazing, and the style is emphasized through ASMR videos in some pretty cool ways.

The busyness of the City is brought down by the calmness of the ASMR creator the player is listening to which helps make Mirror’s Edge seem less stressful because it’s mostly about trial and error and since the player will be missing their steps more often than not, listening to ASMR helps players not lose their composure when playing Mirror’s Edge. Not only will listening to ASMR help players relax when playing, but it’ll help players get through the game faster by making players less frustrated which Mirror’s Edge has done to many players.

2 Trek To Yomi

This 2.5D side-scroller has a lot stuffed in for a small game and listening to ASMR makes things much better while playing. Trek To Yomi will have players getting frustrated quite easily because of the somewhat steep learning curve which can add to the playtime and listening to ASMR allows players to digest what Trek To Yomi has to offer. Most of the game is fighting and timing the parries, and Trek To Yomi can be quite unforgiving so having an ASMR video playing while playing makes things a lot more manageable for players.

The one-of-a-kind tone, style, and the homage to legendary director Akira Kurosawa can certainly make the ASMR video a lot better which in turn can make Trek To Yomi a lot more fun. However, because Trek To Yomi is about the detail, listening to ASMR while playing may leave players distracted, so to combat that, players should listen to one that does not pull that out of the world too much but at the same time keeps them calm.

1 Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

A game that requires mostly hearing to convey its story is best done while listening to ASMR, while music or any other sort of media will take the player out of the world of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice so an ASRM video fits perfectly for this game that is considered one of the best psychological horror games to date. For Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice being a smaller game than most others in its ilk, it does deliver a compelling story about redemption.

Playing while listening to ASMR helps players get through the many aspects of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice the big one is the puzzles and how they’re little to no indicators of how to do that unless players are listening to the cryptic voices in the character’s head. While listening to ASMR the puzzles are more tangible, players and players can figure them out easily without losing patience, which is something that Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice requires. However, players should note that listening to ASMR will help them get through Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice but shouldn’t lean fully into them because the game does need players to listen before acting.
