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?
Dragon Age Origins - love the world, love the story, love the soundtrack, love the companion interactions.
For all the hate it gets, Inquisition was this for me as well, when I wanted a relatively simple primary plot where the problem of evil could be solved by hitting it with a sword. The musical interlude “The Dawn Will Come” that happens after the player’s party saucers their first big setback has such with me as well.
I love DAI but its open world is exhausting. DA2 gets even more hate yet I love it to bits! In a way DA2 is even more comforting/relaxing because of the rushed development leading to recycles environments. Just makes me focus on getting from one story beat to the next without wasting time finding my way out in a large open world.
