For me it has to be Stardew Valley. The farming life and simulation just gives me the calm I need when I’m rather occupied.

Animal Crossing during lockdown was therapeutic beyond words. The gentle routine, positive interactions, and slow progress gave structure when everything else felt chaotic. Sometimes we need games that nurture rather than challenge us.

Games like “The Legend of Zelda” and “Journey” helped me through tough times by providing escapism, comfort, and inspiration. They offered a sense of adventure and hope, reminding me that challenges can be overcome and moments of peace can be found even in difficult times.

There have been a few games that really helped me through tough times. For example, playing "Stardew Valley" was great because it let me escape into a relaxing world where I could grow crops and build relationships. "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" also helped me feel adventurous when things were rough. Just exploring that big, beautiful world made me forget my worries for a while. Overall, these games gave me comfort and joy when I needed it most!
