We all have that one game or genre that never gets old and we return to time and time again.
What is it for you and why is that the case?

Stardew Valley or MechWarrior Online.
That’s… quite a spread. Care to elaborate?
MechWarrior Online when I’m feeling like an online game, but don’t want something fast paced like Apex Legends or Halo.
Stardew Valley when I specifically want a single player game to unwind.
Hope that makes sense.
Yeah it does. It’s just been so long since I’ve played an online game, nevermind a shooter, that I forgot they can be relaxing.
I have the same reasons but my combo is Stardew Valley and World of Warcraft.
Spyro the Dragon - the first game specifically, I find it more of an immersive treasure-hunting experience than the next two games, which are more obviously… I dunno, video game-y. I like all three but I always 100% the first game at least once a year.
I only played this game on a demo disc. Along with Rugrats. I’ll have to give it another go.
League of legends obviously I enjoy the toxicity
As an Ex-Yuumi player it was unironicly something I did enjoy to calm down, when it was not just stay afk on your ADC. I used to Chill mute everyone and play Yuumi Top, just farming and blocking golds from top tower for ennemy TOP
And I am full serious not joking, it was chill and a viable strategy
Mirrors edge 1.
The level design was just really good. There were many different ways to tackle various obstacles in the environment and the time trials had many routes you could take.
Now that I’m relatively good at the game I can beat the story levels in around 4 hours ish?
I like to revisit it from time to time.
What did you think of the second one? I liked how it was open world, though the story itself left a lot to be desired IMO
I thought the second was interesting. I didn’t like it as much as the first but for what it was it was pretty good.
The way they made the open world didn’t work very well in some ways. For example to get the player into new areas they had to funnel them through specific choke points. Additionally I wasn’t a fan of forced combat.
However I thought the main missions and the graphics were high points. I enjoyed finding various collectibles/exploring and some time trials were actually a pretty good time. I hope one day they decide to revisit the series but I have a feeling it might be shelved for quite a long time.
Definitely Stardew Valley. It’s not necessarily like I could play it endlessly forever but whenever all other alternatives seem boring or like they require more energy than I feel like spending, I always turn to Stardew exactly for comfort.
Yes! I’m genuinely surprised I had too scroll down so far for Stardew. It’s overflowing with charm and coziness! Perfect gaming comfort food.
For me, I always come back to multiplayer survival games.
I just love the building up from nothing with friends.
Games that I had, wanted but never got, or just missed growing up. It’s like a nostalgic topiary. I find hunting, testing, and playing very relaxing.
Factorio for me. There is always some old megafactory to pick up again or a new mod nightmare to try out.
Sid Meier’s Pirates
I have dozens of thousands of hours logged in that game, all because it’s so easy to get in to and so hard to get out of. Just turn it on, do some pirate shit, then realize it’s been hours and you probably should have eaten or slept at some point.
HBS’s Battletech (2018). One, it brings me back to some good high school memories playing tabletop with my friends, and two, you can never have too much big stompy robots shooting each other.
Original Quake, RimWorld, crusader kings, and it’s looking like Against the Storm
Sorry I know that’s 4 but fuck it, I can’t decide.
Minecraft. I go through phases of not playing it, but once or twice a year I’ll start up a new world and just mindlessly build and mine while listening to a podcast or an audiobook, and will play every night for several weeks. I’ve started so many minecraft worlds over the years that I really don’t need to think about what to do next
I feel like Minecraft is one of those games that will always be there as an old favourite.
Borderlands 2, there’s just something about it. I’ve put so many hours into it on various platforms, and it never gets old. The story is so good and I just love the play style. It’s super easy to restart the campaign or there’s always some farming / grinding to do, depending on the vibe for the day
Baldurs Gate 1.
Don’t Starve Together. I suck at it, but I love opening up the map and building up my base.
