Hendo Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This has probably come up before in a Hot Topic question, but what games do you fall back into and play just for the hell of it? If I boot up the Switch, it's more likely than not that I'll start to play Dead Cells or Picross, both good podcast games. And today I booted up the PS4 to download the new monthly games, and while I waited I just fired up Bloodborne and it's still just fun to roam around and hack things to bits.

HandsomeDead Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Warframe and Tetris 99 at the mo. I think a lot of the games I play now fall into that play style since I don't play story games very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Bloodborne as "comfort gaming" ? Ironically, the DmC reboot for me. Cause it's nice and easy and flashy looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 At the moment Picross, Stardew Valley or Mario Odyssey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Bloodborne is good comfort gaming. Just switch it, turn your brain off and farm some blood echoes. Same with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls to be honest. Splinter Cell: Conviction for me, I used to be able to run it in one sitting. Haven't played it for a few years but it was always my go to for just playing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 not really comfort, but of surprise to no one I can fall in to Football Manager very easily. It's very easy for it to turn from turning it on to sort a contract or check a player to playing it for 3 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCH Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Binding of Isaac is always the go-to game for comfort and in recent times, Hollow Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time is it? I had to kick that habit...went cold turkey and managed to stay away since my son arrived (some 14 months ago). Forza Horizon 4 (and 3 if my GamePass is out) has filled that hole though...I seem to be doing a lot of milling around in Lego City Undercover though right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Skyrim, xenoblade 2, GTA 5 or San Andreas, ocarina of time, Resi 4. After my recent Spiderman playthru, that could make the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeRKN Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The PSP probably has the most comfort games for me, like Star Wars Battlefront II or Elite Squadron and Dead to Rights: Reckoning. It's hard to pinpoint why but that era just feels very "classic" in game design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regemond Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 It used to be Mario Kart 64, then later Double Dash, but as the MK series has become more intense/difficult at the higher difficulties I've kinda fell out of that cycle. Dynasty Warriors was a great one too - hack and slash your way through hundreds, if not thousands of identikit enemies on each and every level? Sold! Now I'd say the Assassin's Creed series. Going from the Ezio Trilogy, to 3 and then right through to Syndicate, I always knew exactly what I was getting with that series and was quite happy to sit down and enjoy the brainless gameplay. Ubi's studios have perfected that gaming loop that manages to relax me so easily, and it even extends to the Far Cry and Watch_Dogs series.
