The first fantasy life is super cozy. Very excited for the sequel

Alba is a really sweet game with a photography mechanic. It’s short and usually cheap and well worth the time you’ll spend with it if it sends like something you’d like.

To top up the happy tank, I love playing

• Katamari games
• OpenRA (Red Alert)
• Wrestling games (Smackdown on PS1/2)
• OpenRCT (Rollercoaster Tycoon)
• Baldurs Gate 3
• Mass Effect
• Frog Detective 1, 2, 3
• Game Dev Tycoon

I was playing Sanibi yesterday, my heart was warmed by the introduction with his daughter playing with the main character. Now I’m just crying all tears, but the game is amazing

• Book of Hours. It’s a strange game, set in the Secret Histories, the same setting that Cultist Simulator had. Unlike Cultist Simulator, which was rather gruesome, Book of Hours is a relaxed game, about cleaning out and restoring an abandoned library, reading the occult books left in it, and drinking tea with your guests.
• Potionomics. While it’s primarily a puzzle game about brewing potions, it has a lot of heartwarming dialogue.
• Settlers 2 (the original DOS game, not the remake). The Settlers series was what brought up the term “Wuselfaktor” (No clue how to translate this. There is an English explanation of the term in this article.), and imho Settlers 2 is (by far) the best part of that series.
• Kerbal Space Program. I can’t say why this game makes me happy, but it does. There’s something strangely relaxing about drifting through space in free-fall, seeing the planetary surface pass by at high speed below.

so far spider-man 1 on friendly neighbourhood difficulty (i usually play on ultimate though lmfao)

Fallout: New Vegas, with mods, is one game I always return to. Same with Borderlands 2. They never get old, for me!

For general games with very happy and uplifting messages, Outer Wilds, In Stars and Time and Celeste are wonderful experiences.

Slime rancher and Subnautica for sure.

Toy Story 2 PSX

Super Mario 64

New Super Mario Bros DS

Mario Kart DS, 7, and 8 Deluxe

I love going back and replaying Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy on my PS2; awesome memories there. I really want to try out the OpenGOAL project

Forza Horizon 5 is my comfort game, but lately Rocket league is making me all extatic

Zelda OOT. I’ve been playing it before bed to wind down. It gives me good feels.

I’m like that with OG Doom. Its half nostalgia and half it just being a fun game to play.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild The new game, legend of Zelda tears of the Kingdom, is good but it doesn’t give me the same happy fuzzies that breath of the wild does. Stardew valley is another happy simple game. If you’re looking for the challenge tingles, dark souls is always fun. XD

Stardew Valley for sure. Sometimes Euro Truck Simulator 2 to chill.
