Whats your comfort game?

statistically i feel like it would be Team Fortress 2 from my weekly playtime, but that game usually winds up stressing me instead. now the mod Team Fortress 2 Classic on the other hand may fit the bill better with its much more streamlined design for a lot of weapons, no hats, etc etc. And most importantly a new healing gun for medic that makes him way less frustrating.

if it didn't require an available and willing friend, i would also say some Mario Tennis 64 netplay is consistently a great time i can always count on even if i choke a match

My go-to comfort game when I'm feeling overwhelmed.
 
Quake. There is always some new custom map I can play. Gameplay is always solid, level design permitting.

the original xenoblade for the wii is the big one. specifically the wii and 3ds versions. there are many things i do not enjoy about the definitive edition. this game is half of the reason i fell in love with jrpgs (the other half being pokemon rse, mother, and fire emblem). i own it in every conceivable way because im a sucker

to the moon also got me good. i have yet to play its sequels cos im Scared™. ive played and bought several versions of it because it had such an effect on me

WAIT i forgot about bloodborne im so sorry bloodborne
 
Dark Souls - Prepare to Die Edition.
I played that game so many times and so thoroughly that I know every inch and enemy, how everything works, etc. When I just want to play a game and not have to learn new patterns or boards or pay attention to cutscenes and story - I boot that up and chill. Good music for it too.
 
Probably any GTA. It's always nice to load the game and just start driving around, maybe blow some stuff up, with no objectives of any kind ::koishigun

Also, any King of Fighters or Street Fighter where you can just launch the game, have a few quick fights for no reason, quit the game.

If we're talking something longer, I'd go with OG Resident Evil 2 and 3. I've played them both so many times, walking around zombie-infested Raccoon City feels like a nice walk in the park ::eggmanlaugh
 
For me it has to be The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Getting a bunch of items that synergize well is a pure dopamine hit. Unless I just have terrible RNG, it's hard to not enjoy a run, even after playing it all these years.
 
You know what another comfort game for me has been DOOM 1 and 2.

I've gotten soooo much mileage out of them with co-op play and I even bought the android versions to play for a few levels when on trips. I've maybe finished them both at least 20 times over at this point. Never gets old.

Also the mods and wads and custom levels made over the years (and still to this day) always delight. Me and a friend now spend a few nights every year playing them in co-op.

I am also a Quake head. This and DOOM 1 and 2 are the perfect "I just need something to do" games.
 
My main one is probably World of Warcraft, but I haven't played it in a while now so it doesn't feel appropriate to call it that at the moment.

It's probably some Pokémon game, because I always seem to play those when I'm really sick.
Animal Crossing is of course a good candidate also.
 
TETRISTETRISTETRIS I LOVE TETRIS SOO MUCH I SUCH A COOL GAME I LOVE IT I LOVE THE GB VERSION THE NES VERSION THE WONDERSWAN VERSION THE DS THE PSP AAAAAAAAHHHH TETRIS IS SOO GODDD AND THERE PUYO PUYO TETRIS AND TETRIS ATTACK AND TETRIS 3D AND THE NEW TETRIS AND TETRIS CONNECT AAAAAHHHHH I FUCKING LOVE TETRIS

Pikmin 2, Paper Mario TTYD and Dark Souls 1 are like the 3 games I often find myself playing at least once a year. I pretty much know those games inside and out at this point and I find them genuinely cozy lol.
