With gaming often bringing me into a really depressive headspace sometimes with how the markets are developing, whats a game you can always go to and just be lost in, or just be happy with?

Personally i would go for advance wars 1 and 2 on the gba (there is no remake and never will be)

the artstyle, the music, the game-play is just simple, yet effective, a sublime experience of very fun times.

Whats yours?

    Civ VI for me, I never gave the earlier ones a chance and part of me regrets that, but I’ve dumped an unhealthy number of hours into the game in the last couple weeks alone. I got real confused when I looked at the clock and it said 9:30 before I looked out the window thinking “it’s real bright out still for it to be 9:30 at night.”

    Yeah that was 12 hours before…. I got sucked in and the time just slipped away over a couple games.

      Definitely Civ VI for me as well. I’m stressed out by some work obligations lately, and nothing relaxes me more than coming home and sending some giant death robots to obliterate a few cities now and again.

      If you’re looking at the older ones, I’ve got a soft spot for Civ IV. The smooth dulcet tones of Leonard Nimoy reading historical quotes every few turns are always a plus.

      Ah yes, Civilization, otherwise know a Time Travel: The Game.
