Discussion What's a video game that brings you comfort?

[CuteThing]

mario kart 7

 

[Xernarot]

Black Desert Online, riding around on my horse and exploring the map always brings me comfort.

 

[Scythe]

My favourite game died a while back actually... other than that, my comfort games are Spiritfarer, Hades, Dragon spirits, random small indie games on itch.io (special shoutout to Homegrown Pet, the game about being a eldtrich entity taking care of a boy, fear and hunger series, peer into the void, Hatoge, and this other weird psychology horror game with a dope ass artstyle) I also especially love the short and sweet story based games on itch, those are usually love stories.

Been doing Deep Rock Galactic to just relax.

 

[Lonelyhotcake]

The sims 3.

I love to play it, with or without expansions - mods. I always find the way to entertain myself.

My favourite thing to do is the "homeless challenge".

 

[drmihilo]

Half-Life, Black Mesa, Stardew Valley, Terraria, maybe Starbound, Skyrim. Although I don't seem to enjoy gaming right now. It looks like it's just not a good time.

 

[y'ffre]

Skyrim!

Oooh The Sims 3!! That game looks super fun- I have The Sims 4 and it's quite enjoyable :)

life is strange :)

 

[watchdog]

minecraft, inside, sea of solitude, and roblox (cringe, ik)
but i cant play them no more because my xbox is acting up :/

 

[Sprite_Geist]

Half-Life 2, or Fallout 76 - more specifically rebuilding or modifying a C.A.M.P.

 

[Square251]

Now that I think about it, I actually don't know. Maybe payday 2?

 

[umjammertranner]

Osu Tatakae Ouendan and it's sequel has a lot of nostalgia value for me, although sometimes if I'm in a really bad place I can't play it because it just makes me cry with how positive the whole game is

 

[Danyyyyy]

osu! or any rhythm game (that I can play)tbh I used to spent wayyy too many hours on it, but now it's just from time to time. I play mania and I kinda HAVE to play from time to time due to the pain i get from my wrists so instead I go to the arcade and play DDR :D

 

[H.O.Xan]

Asphalt 9

 

[Toji]

Cyberpunk 2077.
although the game had a terrible launch i've played it since release on both PC and Console, i've always loved the cyberpunk genre and all things futuristic, the atmosphere and aesthetics of the city are truly amazing. i spend hours just walking around in the game, it has shards you can pick up and read more into the lore about Night City the glitches don't stop me from enjoining it and it truly brings me happiness i admire it's beauty and immerse myself in it.
i would recommend the game to anyone who is also into that stuff. <3

Have you played the 3 original DS Osu games (Ouendan 1&2 + Elite Beat Agents)? They're really good

Nice to see there are several people here who also like stardew valley, it's probably my all time favorite game. I enjoy crash bandicoot but I suck at those types of games tbh, I stick to a lot of chill stuff and if I really want comfort I go back to the Nintendo DS. So many good games and good memories on that console.

 

[hhmmmm]

Stardew Valley and Fantasy Life (and maybe even Dragon Quest XI and Fire Emblem: Three Houses)

Although, I've spent more time modding, and updating said mods, SDV than I did playing it. ^ ^

I have been currently playing Dragon Quest XI on switch and loving it!

The only games that consistently give me comfort are Skyrim, Dark Souls, Persona 4 Golden, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Pokémon games, and Pikmin games (including Hey! Pikmin). The problem is that (outside of Pikmin and Skyrim), they all make me wanna draw and write, which creeps in and spoils the comfort.

I forgot, I also get comfort from NU:Carnival because BL is soothing to me.

Love Persona 4 Golden also. That was my first persona game and M rated game I bought. I believe I was back in the 10th grade I went to gamestop to buy it and they forgot to ask for my ID.

My comfort games would probably have to be SMT III Nocturne, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pokemon HGSS, Pokemon Platnium and Pokemon BW/BW2.

 

[leloyon]

Yume Nikki and Postal 2.

pokemon, animal crossing, and minecraft <3

Those are fun games!!

Stardew Valley is awesome, it's such a relaxing game to play!! It's cool to see somebody else who also likes Crash Bandicoot :) Also the Nintendo DS is such a nostalgic console, sometimes I go back to it or other nostalgic consoles to relax :D

 

[Zelonis]

Mainly sandboxes, such as Minecraft and Stardew Valley. I also enjoy Mario Kart Wii, and Pokemon Platinum. Both give me strong childhood nostalgia, back when I was happy.

 

[EmmaD]

A game called Medievil from back in the day

 

[painfulwords]

I LOVE to talk about this. Okay, so a game that made my life change completely and just changed my perspective of life was Life is Strange. I love this game, from the story to soundtrack to every single character.
But if you're asking the games I'm playing recently, I think it is BanG Dream!, Cytus II, Ace Attorney and Wild Rift. The games that i used to play but my phone can't handle it anymore are Project Sekai and Genshin Impact. (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡

 

[TheShadowKing]

TellTales TWD Season 1-2 the story and characters are just amazing and reminds me of simpler times

 

[Emi]

Outlast, as odd as that sounds. There's something about it that just brings me comfort.

 

[lemonbunny]

animal crossing new leaf <3
and i kinda get the sentiment about outlast. i like games that are so far removed from real life
