A couple games for learning japanese ive found and liked have been shashingo, and learn japanese rpg: forbidden speech. I also tried the noun town demo but didnt care for it. and any multiplayer game can drive social interaction. VRChat also has learning communities. >
> and while ive yet too play ive seen some tunic and wish there were versions for real language learning. And while i admit ive been a terrible learner the addition of context in games is appreciated. Also once you pass the basics any game can be a treasure trove of contextual vocab
Fascinating out of curiosity are the Japanese language games you mentioned specifically developed to help learn the language or have you found that language learning is a secondary aspect of the game?
For shashingo it depends on how much you like photography but its mostly a study aid imo. For learn japanese rpg seems surprisingly well integrated for what is a humble rpg maker game at the end of the day, and noun town is very much just a study aid, which is why i stopped at the demo.
