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?
Animal Crossing New Horizons. Extremely chill, no pressure to do anything in particular, just a very “go at your own pace” type of game.
If you like New Horizons, I recommend trying some of the earlier entries, like New Leaf or City Folk, if you haven’t already.
New Horizons took a page out of Pocket Camp’s book and turned a lot of the gameplay into a grindy collectathon (get wood to build stuff, seasonal events are just “collect 50 thingamabobs”), and personally, I’ve found that to be stressful.
So if you haven’t tried the other entries, I definitely recommend giving them a shot. You might find that they’re even more relaxing :)
