Comfort Gaming
Think of this like Comfort Food where you just need to play this game to relax, unwind, and play something fun and familiar. What games do you consider Comfort Gaming where you come back to it when you're stressed or just want to game but not play anything new or just want something familiar?
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Chrono Trigger, Rune Factory, and Final Fantasy Tactics A2 are my largest comfort games.

My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

Counter-Strike and TF2 are frequently played when I'm not sure what to play or just want to kill some time. Gran Turismo is fun to grab too and just enjoy some driving.
Final Fantasy IX, Girls Fashion Shoot (shut up), Dark Cloud 2
When I'm looking to just chill out and relax? Usually something along the lines of Halo/Destiny multiplayer with friends or Minecraft. I've a single player world on PC with the amplified settings enabled. I'm yet to get very far in it at all and desperately need to find some iron to make a bucket to stop myself from starving to death.
Saints Row 2. And these days probably SR4 as well. And I think Skyrim and Oblivion are great comfort games. Just wander around, explore. Do stuff. Nice relaxing and stress-free. There's probably others, but these are the ones that springs to mind most. Odd that the only ones I can think of are strictly from the previous generation lol
BattleTanx Global Assault
Evil Zone
Final Fantasy VII & VIII
Mario Kart 64
Metal Gear Solid
NBA Live 2001
Resident Evil
Several wrestling games
Secret of Mana and Mega Man 2. Others have mentioned my comfort games already!
Final Fantasy X is very relaxing to me because of the atmosphere and music, and is probably the comfort game I play most. Especially in the end game when just roaming around catching monsters or farming spheres. I boot up Flower once in a while when stressed but not as much. Dark Souls co-op is always a good laugh and because there's nothing at stake when helping other players it can be very relaxing and hilarious.
