Timeless Comfort Games You Need To Play

Dark souls is my comfort game the bosses know me by name now

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thank you!

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Much appreciated

[@radicalcentrist4990]

- the GTA games are comfort games for me, but especially Vice City and San Andreas as I have the most nostalgia for them - NFS Underground 1, 2 and Most Wanted (2005) - Star Wars Jedi Academy and Battlefront 2 (2005) - Skyrim - Left 4 Dead 2 - the Halo franchise (CE to Reach) - Resident Evil 4 - the Batman Arkham games - Warcraft 3 - Diablo 2 Honorable mention: World of Warcraft from back in the day, until the Panda expansion. WoW used to be my favorite game way back in the day, but it's not the same anymore.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Such great games!!! I haven't played RE4, Arkham games, Diablo 2, or San Andreas, all things I want to try at some point.

[@radicalcentrist4990]

@@BBKDRAGOON these are all time classics that every gamer must play. Surprised you missed them, but you better get to it.

[@ezioauditoredafirenze5453]

​​​@@BBKDRAGOONYou should play them as soon as possible. Personally I haven't finished Arkham Knight and Arkham Origins isn't even part of Rocksteady Arkham series because it is WBs game. They just copied Rocksteadys Arkham trilogys fighting style. It's not bad though but not as good than any of the Rocksteady Arkham trilogy games. I would play Diablo 1 through before playing Diablo 2 because it gives better perspective on the sequel.

[@joaovasco3059]

My ultimate confort game ia Sonic...when I install the latest PlayStation port of Sonic, just with the intro Im already with 10 years old playing my Megadrive with that warm feeling. But then GTA series, metal gear solid series, those are also confort places for me. Shadows of the Colossus is also special, it just blew my mind at the time and have returned some times to it.

[@frozenninja4030]

Nier Automata is one of those games that can never have a peer. It is so far beyond and unlike any other game. Masterpiece for sure.

[@ianmitchell5979]

What I also love about FAST RMX is how it took an already amazing Wii U game, gives us all the tracks and DLC, adds new tracks, and improves the visuals, resolution, and framerate consistency. It even supports HD rumble! A lot of Switch games have been Wii U ports, and it's nice to see the quality and value of these games noticed, I wish people would realize the Wii U WAS a good generation due to its amazing library.

[@vidurpatel9381]

Man I don’t know if you’ll read this comment, but I wanna say this: I first started watching your videos when you dropped the Warframe guides, and expected to see more Warframe content, but then I saw your channel was much MUCH more than that. You make exactly the kind of videos I like, videos that talk about all games and life. It has a little more effect than you might think it does. Love your content, keep it up.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

I appreciate that, thank you and thanks for being here since the warframe days. Cheers!

[@elifretty1018]

Saw 2B on the thumbnail and instantly clicked, Nier Automata has to be one of the best video games ever made

[@BBKDRAGOON]

YESSSS! That makes me so stoked to hear. Hard to believe it's been like 7 years since it came out. I played a bunch of it again for the footage and it's just held up so well.

[@darinherrick9224]

No. It’s THE best game ever made. I own over 2000 and it’s my #1.

[@yummykitkatyt4580]

Thought it was the iana elite skin am I cooked

[@jaredemerson1485]

Lots of comfort games come to mind, but any PS2 era mascot 3D platformers like Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, and Sly Cooper will always have a special place in my heart. Between the colorful worlds, quirky humor, and interesting enough stories, puzzles, and mechanics, they always keep me entertained enough to reach the credits. That said, its been a lot of Risk of Rain 2 for me lately. Something about the atmosphere, music and game loop (along with being able to play with friends) has captivated me more than a lot of recent games and convinced me to try out some more rouge-likes.

[@thephantomparadox6572]

i think that my favourite comfort game has to be Valheim, the vibe is just unmatched, especially in the first biomes, everything feels so calm and beatiful and every single music track is just wonderful. I also might be a bit biased because i really love the retro/ps1/ps2 style, but i really think that it's an awesome game and with friends it's even better. Anyway i hope you keep it up with this style of more laid back content, i actually really enjoy it and find the topics really relatable! :)

[@darinherrick9224]

My comfort games are Nier Automata, Mass Effect Trilogy, Banner Saga Trilogy, Valkyrie Chronicles, Xcom Enemy Within, SSX3, Downhill Dominstion, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Dragons Crown, Hearthstone, Nowhere Prophet, Persona 5 and Strikers, Xenosaga, Xenogears, Chronologically Trigger, Sonic Adventure, Outrun 2, Sega Rally 2, Ace Combat 4, Dirge of Cerberus, Kingdom Hearts 2, Gran Turismo, Forza, GRID series, Tetris Effect, Rez, Child of Eden, VA-HALL-A.

[@kraventhehunter1495]

A game I play every Halloween time is Pumpkin Jack. Such an underrated game. Strongly recommend.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

I had never heard of the game, it looks cool! thanks for the recommendation!

[@drgonzo123]

A video on games you enjoy on the different holidays would be great.

[@Phirestar]

I watched the introduction sequence of NieR:Automata, and that alone was enough to convince me. It’s possibly the most perfectly orchestrated opening I’ve ever seen in a video game. It’s going on my to-do list for when I can get a new PC, probably after I play Elden Ring. On a sidenote, I go with the pronunciation of “aw-tom-uh-duh”. It may not be completely accurate to the spelling, but it has a much better flow to it than all the other ways I’ve heard people say it, and I think that’s sometimes the most important aspect of verbal language. You don’t want it to sound “choppy”, as my old high school French teacher would say.

[@ezioauditoredafirenze5453]

Castle Full of Cats has been one of the most comforting games to me

[@eziothedeadpoet]

I will definitely play the No: Tomato game!

[@BBKDRAGOON]

YESSSS hahaha tomatotoauto

[@ROJC-21]

love your voice and your videos keep up bro

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thank you very much! Have a great Friday

[@drawingtoptarp3101]

Grew up as a nintendo kid mostly on the wii. But one of my top comfort games of all time has to be Super Mario World. I know all the secrets, all the bosses, know how to get through it fast, and I’ve beaten that game more times than I can count.

[@Estaran]

Great list! Deadlink really flew under my radar. I remember the game from previews, but did not hear from it until now again. Regarding FAST RMX: In early 2017 I was invited to a Nintendo Switch review event, where my team and me had an interview with Shin'en Multimedia, the creators of FAST RMX. They told us, that most of them started with the AMIGA Demo scene. When I was researching their other games, I found out, that they are real tech wizards, when you have a look at their older games - especially those on GBA. :D NieR: Automata is also a special game for me. Only played the first Drakengard a bit but the old NieR on Xbox 360. Played Automata shortly after release and somehow did not finish it. Came back to it in 2021, because I needed a distraction because my father unexpectedly died and BAM - this game really took me feelings and... those who played this game, know. 😭

[@Raggsocka]

Subnautica is my #1 comfort game. I always find it funny how so many people call it a horror game, but I've only ever found it relaxing.

[@infernas]

Mine would have to be any of the Forza Horizon games. Even when I'm not in a compettive racing mood, I can just drive around the map, see the sights, and still get XP/rewards. They're my "brain off" games lol.

[@salitz91]

Great video as usual! A humble request from a subscriber - any chance you'd ad a little text label in a corner to indicate what game is showing? Easy way to tell us what is on screen, even if only for 20 seconds. You play some that look amazing and I've never heard of - this video not so much, but some - Thanks!. Turns out I own Deadlink, will have to play it!!

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thank you, I may do this for some videos. Often times I like to put them in the description or in a pinned comment, as I like the way the footage looks without the text, but I will do this on some vids moving forward. Are there any games in particular you want the id on? Cheers and thanks

[@salitz91]

@BBKDRAGOON There is a multiplayer arena shooter that looked incredible you had on a couple videos, where there was a lot of movement and jumping (not Titanfall). I did wonder about Metro Exodus for a while, which you clarified. And I guess the last one is the thumbnail for the "Must Play Singleplayer FPS" video from a bit ago. That said, thanks for taking the time and feedback. I find your videos refreshing and your gaming philosophy and focus on intentionality to be great. Looking forward to every video you put out!

[@eziothedeadpoet]

@@salitz91 That's likely Lawbreakers footage, a game that since then has been shutdown.

[@salitz91]

@@eziothedeadpoet bummer!

[@lwfii9264]

I've had Nier Automata sitting in my library untouched for some months, gonna give it a shot! Thanks for the recommendations, a comfort game is just what i've been looking for, great video man!

[@JohnDoe-vu8ji]

Everybody has his own comfort games. I wouldn't play titles you mentioned - lately my comfort games are No Man's Sky and Last Epoch. Both are chill but engaging, I can hop in and out any time and both allow me to do what I want in a given moment.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Absolutely, it's unique to everyone. How do you like the No Man's Sky update? I've heard its great

[@anasbundegji]

@@BBKDRAGOON it is indeed. a bunch of new things were added. and thats a free update. i'm happy that there are still developers left who actually care about their gamers and dont put every update behind a paywall

[@sneakingelephant]

One game I feel like folks sleep on for a comfort game is crysis warhead. It’s held up so well and works so well now on modern computers

[@guryurfur528]

I just finished Nier Automata a week ago. Platinum trophy. Its actually a masterpiece of a game. Looking to start Nier Replicant sometime soon just because I need to scratch that itch for the universe of Yoko Taro now. Also a super good comfort game I just picked up and have 10 hours in pretty quick is Dome Keeper. Its perfect to play on the Steam Deck as well.

[@andyglovergames]

Oh my gosh, thank you for reminding me how good Deadlink is... I remember booting it up and just being so happy it existed, but it got lost in the shuffle of my backlog last summer. Time to revisit it, for sure!! At 50% off today, its an absolute steal.

[@onlineidentity6826]

I have never even heard of Nier Automata ! I will go give it a try. My game of choice to relax is Fallout 4, strange I know, but tinkering around my settlements and meandering around the map works for me. Keep up the great videos.

[@kideevee8444]

Nier/Drakengard series is one of my favorite video game series of all time. A must play for everyone IMO

[@Shredder1400]

Deadlink is on my backlog so I’ll play it at some point. I’ve mainly gone back to work on achievements for either the Master Chief Collection or Batman Arkham Trilogy. Fast RMX looks amazing so I’ll probably pick that up soon

[@RokushoHasashi]

Great comfort game list!! Especially Nier Automata!! 😊. My comfort game are Halo MCC, Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Lollipop Chainsaw, WET and BulletWitch.

[@hispanic88]

I recommend Nier Automata to all my gaming buddies. I’ve always had a thing for Zone Of Enders the 2nd runner. I recommend that one as well. Quick game. But it was made my Kojima.

[@ThatBlackGuy1337]

Wow someone else who appreciates Fast RMX! I bought it on switch when it was on sale and was blown away by how good it was. Basically the fzero gx sequel we never got!!

[@NabanDibaliknabaN]

[@BBKDRAGOON]

[@damndanieI]

For me my last comfort game was star wars battlefront 2. I found star wars to always be epic and very calming at the same time.

[@Hovel420]

Castle Crashers is my go to if I really wanna chill out

[@kolinsoots8343]

Nier Automata ending E is the best ending to a game possible. It extends beyond gaming. I have 3 tips before playing, 1) play until ending E 2) turn on the setting that allows you to see other online player's death comms and messages 3) if you die and want to keep your stuff, you have to go pick it up before dying again if not i believe you lose it. Besides that buckle up for a deep thought provoking masterpiece.

[@kolinsoots8343]

What is crazy is you hear youtubers and comments about the game and it sounds over dramatic but when I say the ending goes beyond gaming, it TRULY does. I am not overexaggerating!

[@TheTraveler980]

I did in fact beat Nier Automata and achieved all the endings... but I did not care for required repeated playthroughs, the side content and constant running around. Even the combat did not impress me. The "true ending" was even a bit predictable for me, while also leaving me with a few questions anyway. I guess I can understand why some people consider this game a... masterpiece, but it didn't hit me the same way. It is not replayable for me, not even as a "Let's Play" by a streamer or a KZbinr.

[@Agumon5]

If anyone is into endless runners, there's a really good one called race the Sun ... Game has been installed on my Xbox since it released and I play a regularly when I have 15 or 20 minutes to kill and don't feel like doing anything else to demanding. It's the perfect pickup and play comfort game.

[@dajungle4010]

Nier Automata, a game with a fun gameplay loop and a (seemingly) mildly interesting story. Doesn't seem like anything special on the surface apart from just being pretty fun. but one of those games that lets you delve deeper and if you choose to do so Holy Crap does it go above and beyond!! When I unlocked the OPENING CREDITS after over 30 hours of playtime and "beating" the game twice i realized this game had something to say! probably the most rewarding game from a narrative perspective I've ever played. The only games that gave me a similar level of satisfaction from "solving" them are Outer Wilds and Tunic! which are both in very different genres but are both equally about figuring out what's "really" going on!

[@shefikshera]

My comfort game is Metal Gear Rising, it helped me a lot during a tough time in my teens

[@Surasia]

Loving these videos

[@kryptonknight5463]

A game that has never left my mind is The Witcher 3, Im always thinking about it, wow how i wish i can play it for the first time again, same goes for the Last of Us on ps3, my sister and I were absolutely blown away at how incredible that game is, from the story, the narrative and the sound track, absolutely amazing. God of War 1, 2 and 3 has such a special place in my heart, growing up playing these games along with cartoon network on a Saturday just hit different So Ive been itching to get into Nier Automata, where should i start? Nier on ps3 or just go straight to Automata?

[@GoldSrc_]

Nier Automata is THE only game I wish I could forget everything about it, just so I could experience it for the first time again. The gameplay, the feels, the soundtrack, and the booty, a perfect game.

[@DonutTalksGames]

Deadlink looks pretty cool and will probably check it out. Been meaning to play Nier Automata for awhile now. Ill get to it I promise😭. My favortie comfort game is probably breath of the wild. Its just so chill but at the same time you can come at it as aggresive as you want. Keep up the great work Dragoon!

[@ging3rbreadtiger618]

Neir Autamata is my goto comfort game. I play it at least once a year. and one of my favorite ways to play it is on switch. a small amount of visual differences asside. it plays well on there.

[@jontybray743]

A comfort game for me now is Armored Core 6. It’s just so much fun to replay the missions and blow shit up.

[@snaxx2662]

I think I've tuned into what games chill me out and realised that single-player games are the tough as hell aren't for me right now. I would rather sweat in PVP games like Valorant or Tekken, and somehow, that feels like catharsis to me.

[@RenanBarsaglini]

I've been trying to play Nier Automata, but I don't know man... after a great opening they throw you on that 'semi open world' and is totally killing the vibe for me. Feels like I'm just fighting potatos machines and doing fetch quests for no reason

So far the games that you have showed is too intense, too fast that’s even worse than sonic frontiers, and too overwhelming, yes I like challenging games, but not too that level, that’s what turns me away from games, and with everything going on in the world, I need something calm, something easy to pick up that’s worth my money because of rising costs!

All I have to say it's just guys please play Nier !

[@alexanderhugestrand]

Should I give Nier Automata another chance then? I have it in my library, played it for one hour and found the arcade-like bullet hell to be just as boring as I remember arcade games. It would've been okay if I only knew how to put the game down. But the game starts with "in order to learn how to save your game, keep playing". But I never reached that point. How many hours do I have to play before I can save? I can't play a game that expects me to have no life. I have no comfort games by the way. I play until the credits roll, and then uninstall. But System Shock remake and Cyberpunk 2077 came pretty close.

[@TurnerTurnip]

I hated Deadlink. Having to start all the way back from the beginning when you die is just not fun. Waste of precious time.
