Euro Truck Simulator 2 / American Truck Simulator for me.
Slay the Spire
Heavily modded Kerbal Space Program. It’s so relaxing building rockets and going on complex interplanetary missions for science
City skylines and factorio.
Id say Long Drive. It’s fun to drive and listen to the radio, find weird stuff, and laugh at the hilarious glitches
Satisfactory
Stardew valley, minecraft and sometimes mass effect 3 multiplayer. I’m still impressed I can regularly find matches in such an old game.
Factorio
i love factorio, but I cannot see it as a comfort game.
I’ve got so many things to do, i need to massively increase processing on novice, gleba is a wrek, all my space platforms suck, everything needs to be reworked, and I won’t have the tech to fix fulgira or vulkanus until after I ve beat the game.
very stressful.
#2 most hours of any game on steam.
I got 355 hours in the game and haven’t launched a rocket yet. I just built my first silo like an hour ago. I thought I was like minutes away from doing it. Nope. I have a whole new fucking chain to learn. Oh well. I love it. It’s not stressful at all to me. This is the type of shit I live for. My OG answer to this question is SimCity 4. The endless replay value and modding in that game got me well over 5k hours of play. Factorio is the only game since then that has come even close to that feeling.
Minecraft.
If I’m feeling particularly antisocial I’ll play Angband or Umoria.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the switch.
Pokemon Silver/Gold.
Recently, Path of Titans as well.
Sexy Parodius
It’s super fun to get drunk and play through. Fantastic music! Gotta MAME it, though. Unless you actually have a Sexy Parodius machine.
The Guardian Legend, for the nes, played on my pc using fceux because my preferred controller is a keyboard.
if I’m feeling bad, it makes me feel ok.
minecraft (playing around with mods is very fun, too)
Therapy 💚
Binding of Issac
OR
Hades
Sudoku, Picross, and the solitaire from Shenzhen IO
Super Mario World. It was the first one to really unlock gaming for me. I go back and play it fairly often.
Overwatch is the weird one. The game just clicks for me, and when I’m in the zone, doing call outs and nailing upcoming enemy ults or pushes just feels so good.
