Pure comfort? Pokemon Crystal Clear - it's like healing for the soul after a long day of marking.
Less pure comfort? Darkest Dungeon - because sometimes you need to feel pain to really relax!
Boy, time to relax from my incredibly stressful job! boots up exceedingly difficult game Why are we like this? lol
Me: boots up game to de-stress
Game: "My name is Malenia, blade of miquella"
Man the brutal rng in darkest just makes me never want to touch it again. I know that's a huge part of those kinds of games but in that game in particular in just feels extra painful
It's a hard game to play if you're playing a story about the lives of your characters. What got me over the hump was a change in view - it's not a story about a party of heroes that save the world, it's a story about the price paid before people can become heroes (and at least try to save the world before having a heart attack because a tiny pig man squealed too loud).
As soon as I started thinking of it as a horror game rather than an rpg, things just clicked more.
