Seriously though, the game goes on sale often

Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger (DS Version), Final Fantasy 1-4 (PSP Version), FF5-6(GBA/Steam), Pokemon Games from GEN 1-8 (except Gen 9 cuz I haven't playing), Mushihimesama, Mushihimesama Futari.
Celeste (just replaying B-sides or C-sides), any Mario Tennis game (I pretty much rotate through them, with Mario's Tennis being my current fever thanks to Red Viper), Rocket League, Smash 4 on 3DS.
There are a few others that come close, but ultimately these are my go-to when I just need to tune off from brain noise haha. Preferably played in a portable device.

Mirrors edge (both OG and catalyst). world setting of this game, being detached from noisy city widens scope of how I look at everyday life, and overlooking NPCs go on their daily lives makes them appear tiny and insignificant, and I realize almost nothing is worth being anxious over in life, and it inspires me to be mindful and enjoy present moment.
EDIT : to lesser extent, Watch dogs 1 too. Taking a walk in rainy Chicago with "Califone - funeral singers" playing in background is soothing too. worth mentioning that I was not part of hype train leading up to its release because I was not following gaming news at time and just bought game because I liked cover (lol), and since I had no high expectations I enjoyed game for what it was.

For me, it's Gadget Racers (US) (!) on the GBA and King's Bounty on the Genesis. I've completed both games hundreds of times by now. King's Bounty is great because the scepter is in a different location each time you play. Sadly, the second Kings Bounty is nothing like the first one.
Tears of The Kingdom is turning into a comfort game as well. Sometimes, I just build things or look for fucking Koroks and their over packed backpack. FFS guys, thats why you cant move. I'd travel by vehicle, horse (this is a vehicle?), or foot looking for those little bitches. I fight all along the way and my inventory is crazy, so I should probably upgrade my armor soon. I really like the fairies.

Another Code Recollection is really relaxing
The team did a good job bringing the point-and-click originals to graphic adventure(?) and I like those types of games because they invite you to explore while solving puzzles

Real Robot Battle Line for the Playstation 1, i can always play that old one. Its similar to Super Robot Wars games.
animal crossing new leaf. sometimes the game i mindlessly play the most changes over the years but that one has always been there.
honestly any game i have for my 3DS would probably be just as worthy of the title :-)

My go-to comfort game has to be **Stardew Valley**. There's something incredibly soothing about the routine of tending to my farm, caring for my animals, and exploring the mines. The gentle soundtrack and the charming pixel art style create a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding after a long day. On days when I need a bit more action, I switch to **Minecraft**. Building and adventuring in my own world, at my own pace, allows me to relax and let my creativity flow. Both games offer a peaceful escape with no pressure, just pure enjoyment.

I have two different kind of comfort games, relaxing and simple action that I can play without thinking too much.
Relaxing:
- Cities skylines 1. My nr.1 relaxing game,
- Lucas arts point n' click.
-Zelda Alttp,OOT,WW
-Mario World SNES
Simple action:
-Doom 2
-Hotline Miami 2 (not easy, but the gameplay is so simple and addicting)
-Red alert 2 and C&C3

gaia online, whirled club, any disney mmo that came back, and pokemon games on my 3ds. still trying to complete Moon.
Right now it's Yoshi Touch And Go, but I gotta give all respect to Minecraft as the true comfort game. Always had since childhood, always will in adulthood

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell". -

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
