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?

Factorio, mostly. I can play it slowly and methodically with an audiobook when I want to, or throw my brain into it and build a beautiful large processing plant when I need to. Sometimes it's an exercise in fighting personal demons of paralyizing choice and breaking down overwhelming tasks.

Second is Rimworld. Getting lost in the drama of my colony is an effective escape from the world.
