What are your "comfort videogames"?

Hollow Knight.

Great vibes and game play. Technically challenging so it gives a good reward when I accomplish something. Definitely played it through at least 3 times. Can't wait for Silk Song!!

Pikmin 3 also comes to mind. It's a pretty chill experience without a great deal of challenge and it's always fun discovering faster and better ways of time management.

Oddly enough. Resident Evil 2 remake. Essentially the horror aspect is gone so now it's a have I can finish in five hours, more or less in one sitting.

 

For me, comfort video games are those that allow me to focus my attention on listening to a YouTube video on the background without the game itself distracting me too much.

I found these games to be good for that type of gaming:

• Euro Truck Simulator 2
• Minecraft, mainly fishing or mining
• Just Cause 2, just driving around the map looking for collectibles

 

• Ghost of Tsushima
• Anno 1800/1404

 

The Bejeweled, Halo and Tony Hawk franchises. There hasn't been a new Tony Hawk game in years, so I hope that someone is working on one (not just a remake). There is a Skate game in development, so I'm very excited about that. I don't know when it's coming out, though. A new Halo probably isn't close to being done. Maybe in an year or two.

 

Genshin for sure. I just love spend time there

 

NBA 2k, I'm a basketball junkie I need my fix I tell my self every year Im a stop buying the games but I cant help it because 2k has an monopoly over basketball games.

SMT/Persona. I'm really into the franchise. Honestly I'm glad SMT is gaining some popularity. Its the god father of monster catching JRPS and isn't giving the credit it deserved.

 

Honestly you aren't missing out on anything.I play on the switch version and its riddle with bugs and cheap exploits.

 

I have alot of them! So im just gonna make a list in no particular order.
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2
Minecraft
New Super Mario Bros
Resident Evil
Halo 3 & Reach
Black Ops 1
Ratchet and Clank
Pursuit Force
Kingdom Hearts

All of these i played either growing up or during a difficult time in my life. I hold them all very dearly

 

Brain Exercise with Dr. Kawashima. It's an abandonware. You can get it for free.

 

Mine is either Hollow Knight or Dragon Ball Legends for sure. Both games that challenge me and make me forget about my worries for a little while.

 

My favorite was Day Z. I loved exploring and meeting people.

 

Eden a APP on the Itunes store. Basically like Minecraft but an open world builder, amazing for opening creativity and exploring. Allot of professional maps to explore that are cities and fantasies. I highly recommend for people who have tablets Ipads or Phones.


Another is Zelda: Majora’s Mask it’s finicky and can take your mind off stress. You will need a guide book in the process.

 

I’m sorry for the people that don’t think video games help. But Zombies on COD always took my mind off everything. I believe Video Games do help. They can certainly advert your mind from the internet.

 

If you need another good Skateboard game SKATE is a good one. You have tasks and it’s more open maps. I have played one and two had the graphics are pretty decent and vivid.

 

The Binding of Isaac, with the game audio muted and Spotify playing over it. Recently I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2. Didn't like it that much back in 2018 but I think if you are willing to take it slow and not just play it like GTA then it's a good time, and simply exploring the map can be very relaxing.
