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?

    I can see how it’d do that to someone, I know some people that are in it only to optimize their revenue to squeeze out more golds for instance, and that’d be stressing to me. Personally I don’t care about completing the game, at a given time I just try to fill a few objectives, like getting a spouse and finishing the community center bundles, or reaching the deepest in the mines while upgrading my tools… Just free yourself from that FOMO feeling and you’ll be better off :)

      Gaming is probably the only sphere of my life where I actually experience FOMO. There are several games where I can’t resist trying to do EVERYTHING, only to get burned out and leaving the game before I finish it. If I’d just concentrated on the story, I’d probably have finished in half the time, but instead I walk around trying to achieve everything.

        I can understand to an extent, to me it’s appears a lot in open world games such as Skyrim and to a lesser extent Zelda BotW/TotK. Or maybe it’s a hoarding issue hehe ^^’
