From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

The format of these posts is simple: let’s discuss a specific game or series!
I'm in quite a bad place mentally at the moment, so I wasn't really feeling like making a post. But then I thought, I could combine this in the form of a special discussion topic:
Let's discuss your favorite Uplifting Games. What helps you when your feeling down or stressed out. What game series has comforted you in harder times. Are there certain genres that work better for you in these times? Feel free to share anything that comes up and react to other comments. Let's get the conversation going!
If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).

I see a bunch of mentions of Journey. Recently, I've been playing Sky: Children of the Light for the first time, which is made by the same devs. It is beautiful, and feels like a spiritual successor to Journey, to me. It is also free to play, so it is easy to recommend trying it out.
What's the monetization like?
I just read the top review on Steam and it answered this question well: TL;DR it's a shame this is a F2P game since the seasonal cosmetic FOMO is diametrically opposed to the message/spirit of the game, but if you can ignore the cosmetics, then it's a fantastic experience that's completely free.
Seems like it is just some cosmetics? Seems like many items you get by interacting with NPCs and others are somehow paid, but I haven't looked at how that works.
