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?

    Stardew Valley is amazing for this. Minecraft was it for years and years, but Stardew is just like a nice hug. I adore it.

    Hogwarts Legacy has also fallen into this category for me now.

      +1 for minecraft, but i tend to go through phases where i play it 24/7 for a few months and then i never even think about it for a few months

        My days with Minecraft seem to be behind me though. With the account migration, I was unable to complete it due not using the email registered with the account for like 5 years. The email needs me to verify by SMS, of which I’ve not had that number for 6+ years. With them reportedly deleting accounts that aren’t migrated, looks like I’ll be done for permanently. So, RIP Minecraft, my old friend.

      +1 For Stardew, you can get lost for hours in pelican town looking after your turnips and parsnips.
