[Pasta_Soup]

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Rayman 1

Kingdom Hearts

Final Fantasy X

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Any Final Fantasy game.

 

[JCX]

Pokemon Trading Card game. Very short/simple, great OST,

 

[PillarEN]

On and off I would say the Super Smash games.
RE4 is another.

 

[BlueBadger]

Pokemon Trading Card game. Very short/simple, great OST,

This is an unbelievably good choice! I totally forgot about that game. I need to replay it now..

 

[HardRojo]

Metroid Fusion.
Arkham Asylum.
Ace Attorney.
MegaMan X4 and X5.

 

[Aranjah]

WoW.

It's like going home to sleep in your childhood bedroom.

Gonna have to say WoW for me as well. Whenever I feel like playing something but can't decide on something in particular, it usually ends up being WoW. Whenever I don't really know what I feel like doing, I end up hopping on WoW. It's just so easy to think of/find something to do in the game "for just a few minutes" (even if that always turns into an hour) that doesn't take much effort or planning or involvement of other people.

Have tried to make FFXIV do that instead, but it just hasn't happened yet after a year.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

With the exception of MvC2 in the below list it's basically any game that I enjoy speedrunning or doing tricks on.

Crysis Warhead(I just load some save points of favorite spots)
Tetris
Halo 1(AOTCR/SC)
Halo 2(High Charity/Delta Halo)
Super Mario World
SM 3D World
TMNT3
Mega Man X

MvC2(Arcade mode against A.I)

 

[Nosgotham]

Final fantasy xi. Just chill in ronfaure is my comfort spot

 

[ionitron]

Yoshi's Island, although more recently Shovel Knight I think. Undertale has that potential, although I need to give it time to play it again, I know that when I replay it I'll get a whole bunch of oozy feelings.

 

[DJIzana]

Earthbound, Chrono Cross or PSO are definitely my comfort games. Just love the lightheartedness / mellowness of those games.

 

[JCX]

This is an unbelievably good choice! I totally forgot about that game. I need to replay it now..

It's on 3DS VC now so even easier to replay.

 

[oroboros]

Dungeon Fighter Online or Warframe

 

[Baron Von Beans]

GTA Online, and soon, No Man's Sky

 

[CrimsonGun]

When I just wanna relax and kill time I play Madden.

 

[Neff]

Resident Evil/REmake is I think the one game I can play anytime, anywhere, and enjoy it.

A Link to the Past and Mario 64 are always instantly gratifying no matter how burned out I am on them (ie never), but they take a bit longer to see through from start to finish.

 

[OneLessIcon]

Usually some sort of multiplayer FPS. Just run, shoot, repeat until I'm feeling relaxed. CoD is usually the default choice because I can zone out and not get too competitive. Halo and Titanfall I love but I tend to get aggro if I play too long.

 

[etrain911]

I find any of the Lego games to be pretty low pressure and fun.

 

[RMI]

Project Diva games have been my go-to games for when I just need to unwind.

 

[anothertech]

Overwatch is turning into that for me. Quick match to wind down for the night. Very fun.

 

[Paertan]

Suikoden 2. When life kicks me in the nuts I play Suikoden 2. Escape to another world. All stress goes away.

 

[Mister Megative]

Chrono Trigger. RE4. Uncharted 4. Dark Souls 1&3. FFVI. Skyrim.

 

[Sesha]

Not a single one.

 

[Bulby]

Hangover - Crackdown - Collect Orbs. Done

 

[i am unagi]

Spyro 1, 2, or 3.

 

[smoothj]

Easy, Harvest Moon. Always chill.

 

[_Ryo_]

Shenmue. It's just such an atmospheric game. I get lost in Shenmue's world so easily and it makes me feel great. Which is kind of ironic since you've just become an orphan... but still.

 

[Chezzymann]

Rocket league, minecraft, fucking around in planetside 2

 

[Aaron D.]

 

[greekappi]

A Link to the Past

I feel so comforted and full of awe each time I start that game. I'm playing it through again right now on the n3DS.

Best game of all time.

 

[4Tran]

I'm mostly a PC gamer, but Dynasty Warriors has been my go-to for ages now. There's nothing like depopulating half of China to de-stress.

 

[True Fire]

Digimon World 2

 

[BlueBadger]

Digimon World 2

This is one of my favourite games of all time! Along with the first one, actually!

 

[bounchfx]

SMW and mega man x usually

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Story of Seasons.

 

[dangerskew]

Rock Band/Guitar Hero
Doom 1/2
DDR

 

[Vic20]

Warframe. I play it between major releases throughout the year.

 

[Weetrick]

Roller Coaster Tycoon. I've been playing since it came out and I go back at least once a year when I need something relaxing to play. To be honest, it's probably my favorite game of all time.

Been playing a lot of Parkitect lately. Love that game.

 

[Pantaghana]

Warframe.

Feeling stressed? Here's an endless horde of enemies and an absurd arsenal, have fun.

 

[War Eagle]

Super Mario World

 

[eliochip]

Back in the day it was Street Fighter 2. I'd just do a few rounds on arcade and i'd feel better.

Lately i've been playing a lot of Mirrors Edge Catalyst if I feel too overwhelmed to play a more demanding game. Just running around, getting collectables and trying to climb up to odd pieces of geometry.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Diablo 3

It is the best game where I can turn down the game volume, put on some Spotify music and just mindlessly bash some enemies.

 

[Markitron]

Banjo Kazooie, particularly the Freezeezy Peak level.

That goat Music.

 

[ACR0019]

Destiny. There is something thereupetic about jumpig into the game and just running random quests and bounties. Love it so much.

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

Probably WoW, been playing that game since Vanilla.

 

[Neiteio]

Mario Kart 8 is "pure Nintendo," if that makes sense

 

[Dark_castle]

I don't have any. I'll rather listen to video game music than actually playing as comfort.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

From that other thread:

Theme Hospital, or rather Corsix TH (free, open source version)
