Comfort Games Options

[Saffy]

What games do you love to pick up time and time again? You know, those games that give you that warm feeling whenever you play and you always enjoy the experience? :)

For me there's Earthbound and Lunar that first come to mind. Both RPGs, but I just absolutely enjoy every bit of playing them. There's certain charm and feel that is absolute bliss. In Earthbound, the game starts with Onett and Twoson, both of which I heavily explored as a kid when I never understood what an RPG was. Lunar was the the main RPG series I really got into and I personally like to credit it for drawing me into game development. Though I've beaten Lunar twice already and its sequel once, I still desperately want to get around to playing them again. The beautiful sprite work, the story, just all of it comes together so nicely. There's some other games I'd love to play again, but at the moment I'm heavily into playing Earthbound again.

I guess comfort games play a lot on nostalgia. You can just forget everything else and enjoy the moment.

When I think about it, they're pretty much all games from when I was little. Except one or two fairly recent games.

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening- This game was truly amazing when I played it. I was addicted to A Link to the Past at the time, and Awakening felt like just as good a game that you could take with you wherever.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's island & Yoshi's Story- My brother and I used to play these before we stopped talking, so it has a sentimental value for me...

The Legend of Zelda- When I'm in a bad mood, this is the perfect getaway. I can go for hours playing this.

Super Mario Bros.- (See Zelda description)

Mother 3- I guess the ending would be the comfort part for me...

Fire Emblem: Fuuin No Tsurugi- This is probably one of my most absolute favorite games of all time. When I was in 7th grade, and was extremely depressed over something, and was home schooled and had no friends, this game took my mind off of everything for almost the whole year.

Eternal Sonata: Just the beauty of the game's music and scenery is enough to comfort me off the bat. But the story itself is really the best part of it.

Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations- Oh God. The ending of this game is probably one of the few games that almost brought me to eye foaming tears when finishing.

Mega Man Zero: 4- It was so cool how Zero was really back like in his days in Mega Man X. And the ending was truly the way Zero was supposed to go out.

Phantasy Star Online- Well, this is pretty much the game I play when I'm bored. Since there's never a time when it just plain isn't fun.

Wind Waker- This is the game that my sister and I used to play all the time. And really, it was what made me as close as I am to her. And I always am reminded of that when I play it.

There are more, like Mega Man: ZX and Star Fox 64, but that's all for now.

Dude, like, yeah. The ones I underlined are like the exact same for me~

Oh and I also feel comforted when I play Tales of Symphonia, and Rune Factory Frontier, I have a thing for RPGs I guess. >.>
