Euro Truck Simulator 2 / American Truck Simulator for me.
Spending a week installing Skyrim mods and playing the actual game for a week before running into a game-breaking bug that I cannot get around.
Banished
Yeah! So cozy, that is a delightful comfort game that I forgot about til now
I like games with beautiful open world environments I can just roam around in so Witcher 3, RDR 2, Far Cry 4, Subnautica. I also like games I can quickly jump in play a little and quit, so playing a few quick matches in Dead By Daylight is comforting
Not sure about comfort… but I always find myself picking rocket league up on my steam deck for a few matches. Probably because it’s a bit mindless and lets my brain take a break by only reacting in the moment.
Hell Divers 2. Used to be Mario Kart kind of, although I do get competitive there. Also Muse Dash.
Toy Story 2 on the PS1
Oldschool runescape
Hell yeah. I wish the Lemmy community was bigger for osrs.
Dwarf Fortress
The Sly Cooper Trilogy. I still have them on PS2
For the last two years it’s been BG3.
Final Fantasy XII & Fallout 3 [Steam/GOG]
Alpha Centauri.
I know I’m aging myself, but there has never been anything else like it. The depth, the narrative, the way the gameplay evolves. It’s a masterpiece.
Nice, and I fully agree: The best turn based 4x Civ I have played so far. Music, fractions and the story are all perfect. The factions play quite different and allow for diverse strategies to win. Surprised that there are not more copy-cats that try to pull it off.
Path of Exile, I just love the game so much.
Factorio
The factory must grow.
I turn off biters and play on 100x research because it’s calming.
Lately, it’s been Hell Divers. Used to be Mario Kart.
I can Hell Dive for hours if I’m feeling shitty or for just one mission if I just need a quick escape. I feel like I’ve gotten an insane amount of value out of it.
