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?

Pure comfort? Pokemon Crystal Clear - it's like healing for the soul after a long day of marking.

Less pure comfort? Darkest Dungeon - because sometimes you need to feel pain to really relax!

Man the brutal rng in darkest just makes me never want to touch it again. I know that's a huge part of those kinds of games but in that game in particular in just feels extra painful

It's a hard game to play if you're playing a story about the lives of your characters. What got me over the hump was a change in view - it's not a story about a party of heroes that save the world, it's a story about the price paid before people can become heroes (and at least try to save the world before having a heart attack because a tiny pig man squealed too loud).

As soon as I started thinking of it as a horror game rather than an rpg, things just clicked more.
