Mine is playing AOE2 in easiest (or standard if I want a bit of challenge) mode against 3 bots. I just build my economy, wall up (and laugh at the enemy soldiers attacking my walls in vain), reach imperial age and attack once my army reaches the population limit. I also send 104 in the chat so they don't surrender and I can enjoy razing their all buildings one by one. If any of them builds a castle, even more fun. A build a trebuchet and watch it raze the castle from a safe distance. If there is sea, after I am done with the land, I build 3 docks, do research and build a navy and hunt down ships around the unxplored sea. It is fun, satisfying and relaxing.

What is yours?

Replaying old games that I have fond memories of. We're in an incredible renaissance of classic games getting source ports or updates that bring them up to modern standards, and I'm loving it. Daggerfall, Blade of Darkness, Jagged Alliance 2, Morrowind, Jedi Knight, Caesar 3... I'm sure I'm forgetting ~~some~~ many. They let me forget the present and pretend that I'm back in simpler, happier times, at least for a little while.

Daggerfall? I'll have to check that out!

The Daggerfall Unity re-release was free some time ago on Bethesda's official website. I'd check there.

I'm here for all these but my personal zen is Lucasarts' Gladius. I have kept my original Xbox all these years just to play it but it was finally recently made backwards compatible for my series x.
