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?

    In addition to RimWorld, I would say Deep Rock Galactic has never even once left me in a worse mood after playing it. Every time I boot it up, I cannot stop admiring the love and care GSG has put into their game and almost all of it for free. The only monetisation in this game is purely cosmetic, but they make sure that the stuff you can get through gameplay alone doesn’t look worse than the stuff you pay real money for. Add on top of that the awesome gameplay, atmosphere and community and you got a game that pretty much never fails to lift you up.

    If shooting native lifeforms as an exploited space miner isn’t quite your mood right now, you could also try Tchia. Super pretty and lovely game, although I suspect it doesn’t offer too much replayability, once you completed it. But the same could be said for Okami and that is the game I first say when asked what my favorite game is.

      Currently Deep Rock Galactic is my comfort game. There’s something rather cathartic about shooting alien space spiders after a long day at work. I’ve been trying to persuade my friends to join me but no luck yet. Rock and Stone brother!
