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?

I have no game to contribute here, but wanted to say thanks for the thread and those who replied.

My go to game has ways been WoW (lately Wotlk classic). However last night I had to put my crying kid to bed who's about 1 week post surgery (he's ok and will be ok), logged on 20 min late to raid time, had no spot (I get it, I do, I was late with no comma), and just off the weight of the week was feeling a bit numb.

I opened Steam to see if I could play something else and just stared at my library of unplayed games for an hour and picked nothing.

Sorry that's all quite sad. I'm ok. My kid is ok. But my overall point is, this thread has given me some ideas of what to play instead of WoW. And for that, thanks!

You've had what sounds like a really big week, or, hell, month. I've stepped away from mmos myself, and I hope you find something that you can really actively enjoy. Because, apologies if I'm making assumptions, my experience with mmos ended when I realized I wasn't really there while playing. It's great to turn the brain off, it's like having old episodes of the Simpsons on in the background as a videogame. But after a while it just gets too be tiring.

I hope you have a lovely day, and find something to relax with :)
