Comfort games? (beehaw.org)

With gaming often bringing me into a really depressive headspace sometimes with how the markets are developing, whats a game you can always go to and just be lost in, or just be happy with?

Personally i would go for advance wars 1 and 2 on the gba (there is no remake and never will be)

the artstyle, the music, the game-play is just simple, yet effective, a sublime experience of very fun times.

Whats yours?

Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect, and the NHL/MLB games are always my go-to when I just want to chill out and be comfortable. There's lots of comfort in being "with" some of your favorite characters time and time again. There's a different comfort (more of a zen feeling) in booting up my favorite sports games, turning off my brain and just letting instinct and reflex take over. Most Friday nights at the end of a tough week, I play MLB with some beers until late in the night after my friends log off.

I think Dragon Age: Origins is one of my favorite games of all time. I haven't played anything like it since. I loved the story, cared about the characters, and found the combat to be fun.

Kind of hoping someone comes in and says "have you heard about x game that's super similar DA:O" and that I haven't heard of it, cause I agree with you and I'd love to have that experience again fresh.

People always tell me Divinity, but it feels like a different kind of game to me.
