Comfort game?

[Echolight]

I play Splatoon whenever I feel stressed. I expected myself to play something calming, like Cattails or Pokemon, to help me feel better, but nope! It's Splatoon haha.

I think it's because I can play it without thinking too much about a complicated plot, it's repetitive, and whenever I battle it's like I vent all my stress and worries into splatting that one inkling.

Pretty much any Zelda game I have played before is comforting. I tend to gravitate to games I know and can play mindlessly, and that's why almost any Zelda works, more so Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is also a game I have replayed so many times that it can be a comfort game. Breath of the Wild also fits, sometimes I just like to explore the vastness of Hyrule with no goal in mind at all, and whatever happens just happens.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - I've played it a lot, and I enjoy returning to Hyrule approximately once every two or so years.

Super Mario Maker/Super Mario Maker 2 - Good for a few minutes of gameplay if I need to unwind.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - You can never go wrong with some Mario Kart, and this is my personal favorite.

Minecraft, botw, or smash bros. It's fun to beat the tar out of my favorite characters
