What's your "comfort zone" game?

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

I have a few - mostly highly replayable games that I just boot up when I'm not really sure what to do. Sandbox games are especially great for that since there's always something new to try out - Kenshi and Mount & Blade Warband are personal favorites of mine, as janky as they are. Don't Starve is also always fun

Big fan of Yakuza games as well - currently playing through Yakuza 3 after 100% Yakuza 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2!

"Total War" games

Minesweeper. It's always there for me when I can't focus on anything more demanding.

Gotta say Yakuza 0 as well :) it's a perfect game and definitely my favorite of the series

Now if only we could get Ishin and Kenzan localized, that would be the dream

never thought about story heavy games as comfort zone games, interesting. Usually are games i an relax and not think too much, was Test Drive Unlimited now is Forza Horizon, or games like Terraria or Minecraft, or Project Zomboid.

Darkest Dungeon and Mortal Kombat X

Soul Blazer on SNES, and Panzer Dragoon Saga on Sega Saturn.
I've beaten both many times.

I'd have to say Mass Effect or SKOTOR.

Final Fantasy Tactics

Mega Man Legends is the first that comes to mind. I could probably also include Majora's Mask and Star Fox 64 too.

Euro Truck Simulator 2. I always love to come back from time to time and relax on it. I'm always looking forward to events just to have an excuse to play. I'm just sad I can't get the map expansions I'm missing.

Kerbal Space Program.
And, like above me, Euro (&American) Truck Simulator.

Definitely Diablo 2. Played like a thousand hours over the years and still want to come back to it from time to time.

Probably Path of Exile, Binding of Isaac or the first Spelunky

Used to be R.U.S.E., but my copy is borked, and you can't buy it any more :( These days, I guess I'd say I jump between it being Space Engineers, Farming Sim 22, and Wurm Unlimited.

Depends on my mood.It's either Sims2 or Hatred xD

minesweeper

Definitively the Zelda games of the N64 era.
Can always go back to Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask and enjoy playing them for the I don't know how manyth time:)
Also enjoyed playing Sudeki several times and guess I could go for another round.

Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, Cyberpunk 2077

Half Life (especially the first), and Final Fantasy VIII.
The Balamb Garden theme song always gives me the feeling of returning to a home I've been away from for a loooong-long time.

Good question! I'd say Apex Legends, only cause I get to play with my friends when I play.

Single player: Rimworld, Madden or CK I'd say

Definitely The Sims. No matter how much I play it, I can come back and play it again after months. Good time killer too when I have no idea what else to play.

(Classic) Doom.

Final Fantasy VIII -- walking around Balamb Garden is practically like walking in a virtual backyard (or, well, garden) of my childhood. Suikoden 2 is exciting to return to every time, and I suspect Yakuza 0 will be the same way (though I won't revisit that one until I've played through 3-6). Jumping into any Tekken game (well, any post-Tekken 1 Tekken game) is also a chill, almost second nature-type thing. I have a bunch of comfort food games, though I try not to return to them too frequently and risk in any way getting desensitized to them.
