What games make you happy?

Hello all! I would like to know what games give you that cozy, fuzzy feeling of simple happiness.

I’m currently experiencing this with Tchia, a wholesome game about a girl doing fun stuff on an island.

Weirdly enough I have a similar thing going with Doom (2016) at the moment. Something about the intensity of the levels and the interesting map design make me feel really satisfied and immersed.

Lastly, Super Mario 3D World really has a similar effect to Tchia, we’re I immediately get a happy feeling just by booting it up and looking at the wonderful colors en design.

What is your go-to game for feeling relaxes or happy?

Subnautica and Raft are my go-to relaxed-fuzzy-happy games. Being able to do things at my own pace and just noodle around with whatever I feel like is nice.

@knokelmaat Not sure if it's a certain category, but here are some that really made me so:

  • Stardew Valley
  • Life is Strange (for now I only played the first series)
  • Memoranda
  • Tiny Echo

I'll edit the list when I remember more.

I always say that the Mad Max video game is my comfort game, and it's very much true. For me there's just something so relaxing and enjoyable about just driving across the wasteland, going from site to site gathering scrap and taking down camps. It always puts me in a better mood.

Heat VR. Not even for the adult content; just staring into the character’s eyes or mussing their hair is incredibly relaxing.

VRChat, too, but since those are all real people you can’t just necessarily go around admiring them up close since it would disrupt their experience. Just as rude IRL, imo.

VIntage Story one of the coziest games around.

cyborganism,

On the SNES: Star Fox and TMNT 4 turned in time.

On PC it’s probably gonna be Space Quest 3 and Star Wars X-WING Alliance.

Quexotic,

Zelda OOT. I’ve been playing it before bed to wind down. It gives me good feels.

bonegakrejg,

I’m like that with OG Doom. Its half nostalgia and half it just being a fun game to play.

Forza Horizon 5 is my comfort game, but lately Rocket league is making me all extatic

Kattiydid,

I’m surprised no one has mentioned The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild The new game, legend of Zelda tears of the Kingdom, is good but it doesn’t give me the same happy fuzzies that breath of the wild does. Stardew valley is another happy simple game. If you’re looking for the challenge tingles, dark souls is always fun. XD

noctisatrae,

I was playing Sanibi yesterday, my heart was warmed by the introduction with his daughter playing with the main character. Now I’m just crying all tears, but the game is amazing

gwen_real,

so far spider-man 1 on friendly neighbourhood difficulty (i usually play on ultimate though lmfao)

LordGimp,

Honestly hardspace shipbreakers is giving me that feeling. It’s a real cozy corporate nightmare with very chill game play. Reminds me a lot of snow runner in how laid back it is
