If somebody feels no fear while zooming towards a black hole, their brain has some strange wires crossed.

Strongly recommend Outer Wilds. Falling into the black hole the first time was one of my most scared moments in gaming. I was totally panicking lol

Outer Wilds is exactly what came to mind for me, too. Made a jump...missed. Thrown into a decaying orbit around the black hole. Absolutely terrifying, and panicking didn't help in the least!

And getting close to the upper atmosphere of Giant's Deep for the first time, staring, thinking about the atmospheres of real-world gas giants, knowing that I need to take the plunge.

That game exposed some phobias that I'd only been vaguely aware of before.

The Outer Wilds is one of the greatest gaming experiences of all time. I would love to forget all about that game to just experience it again from scratch.

Easy cure, simply watch "The Black Hole",https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Hole_(1979_film) and you won't ever be able to take them seriously again.

Side effects may include overwhelming hate for Walt Disney Productions.

Looks interesting from the first glance! I should probably try that game – having both the artistic and realistic pictures in mind :)
