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?

    For me it’s Ridge Racer Type 4 for the PS1. I think what comforts me is that soundtrack (listen to it everyone), but also it’s the nostalgia kicking in for me

      If you didn’t know, Kohta Takahashi (the composer for Ridge Racer Type 4) has an album of what a Ridge Racer soundtrack would be today and it’s excellent. Reiwa Type 4

      Myrone’s Drift Stage, vol 1 is in a similar vein. Drips with mid nineties Japanese racing game nostalgia.

        Oh, I have listened to it also because I was looking for some of his work that was inspired by RRT4. I sincerely love that soundtrack. I’ll also listen to your recommendation, thanks!
