Photog Video Games

I was thinking this morning about lessons I learned from video games. I still frame my shots with Pokemon Snap & Bioshock rules - multiple full subjects, action, focused. I loved Umarangi Generations, but was always frustrated that the actual camera settings were endgame skill gated. It feels like so much of what I'm doing irl is twiddling knobs, its what i know.

Umarangi instead forces you to explore, to find the shot, to make it with your feet and hands. To use height and angles to create something interesting. This is tough to do irl though, I feel like I look like an idiot 😄

What are some lessons you've learned from video games, or other game-ified photog sims you'd recommend?
