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?

Outer Wilds is one of the best experiences I had in my gaming life. Just a shame that the magic only seemed to happen on first playthrough. And the expansion didn't quite scratch the itch.

Would highly recommend people play that game if you haven't tried it yet.

That's a shame, I really loved the expansion. I agree that it felt more...focused? Since it was so contained to one area. Whereas the base game let's you wander around aimlessly much more.

But I felt the base story wasn't complete without the expansion's extra details. Without spoiling anything for other readers, I can't help but think about this story any time I think about a new technology that people are afraid of (lately, mostly AI). This game is a celebration of exploration and learning for its own sake, and I love it.

Sorry the expansion didn't find the mark for you. I found the expansion just as engrossing. Reminded me of the first time I read Rendezvous with Rama.
