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?

    super Mario galaxy for sure

    When I was very young I had something wrong with my nose and I couldn’t breathe so I had to get surgery

    When I left the hospital my parents said I could get a game to play while I couldn’t go to school for a week and I chose super Mario galaxy

    I played the shit out of that game and it just has such a calming positive vibe, like everything is gonna be ok

    That game is a part of me, I love it so much

    … that or left 4 dead 2

      Oh yes! SMG was the game we bought the day we bought our Wii back then and it is a masterpiece. It is also the only Mario Game I ever “finished” (all Stars with Mario, not Luigi tough). We loved everything in this game. The Music, Level Design, Controls… and whenever we thought that we have seen all, they came up with a new game mechanic that surprised us and was super fun. It was truly a fantastic and memorable experience.

    BOTW for sure. The expansive open world is just great to get lost in. Not to mention the soundtrack can be calming when you’re out riding your horse in the fields.
