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?

Over the past years I've played a lot of relaxing indie- and open source games. The ones that really stuck with me were Eqilinox (Steam), Endless Sky (homepage, open source) and Veloren (homepage, open source).

Bonus game which just came to my mind: Slime Rancher (Steam) was a really fun, too!

I've never tried Veloren, is it pretty enjoyable to play as it is now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It has developed a LOT during the past 1 or 2 years, to the point that you can easily spend hundreds even thousands of hours in this game without it getting boring. Veloren is slowly becoming one of my favourite games of all time. So... yeah, it is. Be aware that it is still an alpha though and the learning courve is quite steep. But you can always get help on the Veloren Discord Server.

If it's that far along I'll definitely have to check it out then! Thanks for the info, and I'll make sure to check the discord as well 👍

Slime Rancher is great. My 4 year old loves it, Slime Rancher 2 is out on early access and is just as great.

Ooh, I didn't even know about Slime Rancher 2, thanks for the tip!
