![]() ![]() I totally get how that's frustrating for some folks and I legit don't mean that particular aspect to come off as apologetic for it, but it oddly has a compounded effect on the satisfaction for me personally. I can get kinda lost in the personal projects I assign myself in this game and VERY ODDLY the unnecessary tedium of the game kinda adds an additional layer of satisfaction to actually completing something. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is just chill through and through for me. I use these games to feel positive when I'm feeling negative, to go from yin to yang. I have emotional swells when I play either game, and I've played through both games so many times already. Both games do feature some music tracks that are kind of tension and anxiety-raising but they tend to come when I've kind of entered the zone and I don't take them in isolation for the kinda harsh vibes they're meant to express - it's just part of the journey for me at this point. Rez Infinite and Tetris Effect for their abstract visuals and relaxing and often thematically uplifting music. ![]() Its a beautiful piece of digital art celebrating two of the best albums Radiohead put out. Less of a game and more virtual art exhibit, its progression of environments is done in much the same way as a real art exhibit, which is what it was planned to be at one time pre-pandemic. This is kind of a melancholy example given the source material but the Radiohead Kid A Mnesia: Exhibition had a really elevating effect on my mood. Throw in a tornado and some water sprinklers and watch this dazzling display of spiral patterns in the sky. The sandbox mode is just pure relaxation, watching the ebb and flow of creatures and objects adding and removing sand and water in this perpetual back and forth elemental dance. Sometimes it can be something as simple as being in one of the Bigscreen environments, or something gameplay heavy. VR definitely helps me when in a bit of a slump, the virtual tourism aspect sort of resets your sense of being stuck in a particular place, both geographically and mentally. I usually boot up COD if I'm in a good mood. I don't like playing with other people when I'm down in the dumps. it can be anything from COD to Friday to Dirt to UFC. I like talking to people online, but I hate losing over and over again to random people. I find that really competitive online multiplayer type games make me more depressed lol. Skateboarding games like Skater XL are good for that too, just mindless map creation and character customization and mods and random tricks, very chill. ![]() They're just very linear and I feel like I can kind of turn my brain off and the game design kind of spoon feeds you the story and action. I always reinstall Uncharted 2 or 4 and have a good time. 1-8 are perfect games to play when I'm feeling down, remakes/remasters of course.įor some reason stealthy games like Uncharted scratch that itch for me too. my childhood was moreso ps2 games so I'd say anything from HP and the chamber of secrets to Resident Evil games. I crave nostalgia when i'm feeling bleak, too. ![]() both games are excellent when i'm feeling depressed during fall/winter. i could spend many hours running those maps and not get bored. the games just reminds me of halloween and has a very spooky and cool atmosphere. ![]()
