What games make you happy? (beehaw.org)

Hello all! I would like to know what games give you that cozy, fuzzy feeling of simple happiness.

I'm currently experiencing this with Tchia, a wholesome game about a girl doing fun stuff on an island.

Weirdly enough I have a similar thing going with Doom (2016) at the moment. Something about the intensity of the levels and the interesting map design make me feel really satisfied and immersed.

Lastly, Super Mario 3D World really has a similar effect to Tchia, we're I immediately get a happy feeling just by booting it up and looking at the wonderful colors en design.

What is your go-to game for feeling relaxes or happy?

Factorio without bitters. The music of desolance, alone on the planet trying to get efficient so you can leave and go home. I don't know why it is so relaxing, but it is... just having time to plan and build exactly what you had in mind is bliss.

On the other hand if you want some adrenaline, play bitters in deathworld.

Factorio has this thing where if I play it while listening to a podcast or audiobook they use up exactly 100% of my focus. No less, I can't think of anything else. But also no more, I never get tired. It's a very specific form of relaxation for me; where I feel like I'm existing "just right".
