Lawn mowing simulator.
Balatro
Project zomboid: walk around, bash heads in, gather stuff for a base you will never build.
I play with infection disabled though - so not to restart after one bite
This is kind of my answer too. 7 days to die with the difficulty turned down, dying light, last stand aftermath. Still looking for my white whale, someone please come make a non-scam version of The Day Before!
Super Mario World. It was the first one to really unlock gaming for me. I go back and play it fairly often.
Overwatch is the weird one. The game just clicks for me, and when I'm in the zone, doing call outs and nailing upcoming enemy ults or pushes just feels so good.
Probably LOTRO or Enshrouded.
One more vote for the original Doom, running in a modern engine with some of the colossal WADs released over the years.
It loads instantly, gets you fighting in no time. You know the rules, yet you still get surprised by one of these guys with a machine gun.
Compare that to a modern game, where you have to wait for it to update, compile shaders, the studio logo video, the proprietary launcher and the main menu before you are allowed to do anything.
It's buggy but it's mine, pillars of eternity 2 deadfire
I never really got into the one character party hardest mode min/maxing, but everything else about it is pretty much what I want from an RPG
beamNG.
There is no sadness. Only smashed cars and bent metal.
- Super Metroid
- A Hat in Time
- Portal
Factorio, GregTech: New Horizons, Oxygen Not Included, RimWorld and lately Obenseuer and Vintage Story
OG Doom and some random WADs.
I've played more Team Fortress 2 than anything else. I can always go back to community servers there.
Og doom, Duke nukem 3d and Unreal tournament
Anno 1800 👍
Anything Zelda. Stardew Valley. Civ 6. RDR2.
Rocket League, believe it or not. It's one of the more toxic games out there, and the amount of bugs is staggering at this point, known shit too. But I keep playing, hours every week. Been doing so for ten years now, can't stop.
Too much magic can be dangerous. M'aiq once had two spells and burned his sweetroll.
For now it’s Oblivion Remastered.
Once that’s done I have no idea, probably back to Skyrim.
Super Metroid, especially on a dark and rainy day
Rimworld. It's like having a fishtank, but with really sociopathic fish. Only game I can think of where the #1 enemy you struggle with, that which shapes your core strategy and approach to every problem, is its single threaded performance.
Kerbal Space Program. I mostly just make fighter jets using the procedural wings and BDArmory mods now.
Pretty much any rouge like..... But only for a few months at a time...... Maybe I have ADHD.....
Chrono Trigger. Beaten hundreds of times on tens of devices. Short, sweet, doesn’t outstay its welcome but is always, always good.
Helldivers 2, difficultly 4. Gonna roam around and shoot some bugs.
Morrowind.
Half-Life 2 and the Bungie era Halo games. I normally replay them all at least once a year. Steam workshop support for both of them has also been great.
Red Dead Redemption 2 story. Every time I go back and play through it provides a month+ of joy and comfort.
American Truck Sim is a good one too.
Oxygen Not Included is the big one for me. It lets me get inventive, which is something my brain needs sometimes.
World of Warcraft Classic and Stardew Valley.
I don't think I really do comfort games...I'm very much a "I'm done with this, on to the next thing" person when it comes to games. But maybe vampire survivors or FTL. Or JRPGs as a comfort genre.
Stellaris
Snowrunner. Similar concept, much slower.
I second that, sat me the goal to 100 percent that game.... With seasons.. With about half an hour playtime a week...
So i am finished when i am retiring
Ha! You’re not wrong there. 400 hours in and I’m up to Ursk.
Any Fromsoft Soulsborne.
Unlike a Jedi, my anger doesn't lead to suffering and death. It leads to a zen-like flow state. Which I suppose does still lead to suffering and death for the enemies in the game... 🤔

Dark Souls 3.
Hotline Miami, specifically 1 but also 2 every now and then. Not sure if there's been a 6 month period of my life within the past decade where I didn't boot it up at least once
Minecraft
Splatoon
Creaper world. I like putting it on random and listening to audiobooks. It's great for destress.
Echochrome or any of the Trials games.
Rimworld with the difficulty turned way down. And lately, running shipping missions in Endless Sky.
Slay the Spire, on ascension 20, I lose most runs... I think I enjoy torturing myself
For a while it was ets2/ats, but now it's usually BeamNG because I can just go around doing nothing and stop whenever I want instead of feeling like I have to finish the job

Stardew Valley

Rogue Legacy 2
Monkey Island 1 to 4.
Animal Crossing Wild World! I like New Horizons a lot too, but there's just something about Wild World that's cosy in a way no other game has been able to replicate for me
