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?

    Depends sometimes if I just want to play a shooty game, it’s usually a Doom .wad I haven’t played yet. Destiny 2 is my addiction but sometimes there isn’t such a thing as a chill game of destiny. Cyberpunk 2077, despite it’s launching flaws can be a fun game to turn your brain off to. If I’m feeling nostalgic, I’ll put on Super Mario sunshine, or Crazy Taxi, Chu Chu Rocket, Super Metroid/Fusion/Zero Mission. And those games always give me a big smile across my face.

      Destiny 2 was my goto, something an about the game loop and mechanics is so satisfying. But agree that it’s becoming less and less chill, especially for solo players. The most frustrating aspect with the recent changes, is trying to get exotic armour. You can only get them by completing a master lost sector, solo. But you have to be at a high stat level, achieved by either a tonne of grinding, or teaming up with other players. Ultimately one feels stuck between a rock and a hard place. Don’t have enough time to spend teaming up with other players, but can’t level up to complete the super hard solo content. Makes me want to jump back into Pilotwings.
