Comfort games? (self.gaming)

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?

I actually did play Pillars of Eternity and was quite fond of it, except that I eventually had to give it up because I reeeaaalllly suck at the real-time-with-pause combat at that scale, and I just got stuck.

Months later it dawned on me that I could have just dropped the difficulty level, but I had forgotten too much about what was going on and couldn't get back into it.

The story can be convoluted, admittedly. Pillars of Eternity II added a dedicated turn-based mode for the combat and also added a few QoL changes, my favorite being that spell usage is reset between combat, rather than requiring you to rest. That said, I think the story is a bit weaker, but that may be because I've never really been interested in Caribbean settings or pirate themes.
