Great video. There is also a PS4/Xbox One version of Vanquish as part of the Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle with improvements such as 4K 60fps for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. I believe it's on sale often as well.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Lets go, thank you! I didn't know that, much appreciated

[@mikecalvento]

Every so often when I'm stressed and have a need to decompress, I come back to Tamriel to walk around and soak in the music and the scenery. Just walk around aimlessly until something happens. And then walk some more. Sometimes, I take Lydia with me. Sometimes, Serana. Maybe one of my save files has a reikling with me, and I pass the time seeing what he can do. Sometimes, I just go to my property and start planting.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

I like that, hopping back into Skyrim from time to time really gets the chill vibes going for me as well

[@littlegreen9274]

And sometimes you orbit Nirn via a giant's club

[@kilgoretrout1289]

Mirror's Edge is a great example of how a game doesn't need to be filled to the brim with "content" in order to be good. It's a game that can be beaten in just a few hours, yet I've probably spent 100+ hours on it over the years just because it's such a highly replayable game with solid gameplay fundamentals.

[@lemo0nz707]

"nice games to sit back and relax", shows dark souls celeste and super meat boy. 🤣

[@Hunter-ck1zy]

I have to say I've really been enjoying the more general gaming culture type videos you have been doing lately, they have been really giving me a more positive outlook on gaming with their focus on just having a good time over the state of "modern gaming". Thank you man and keep it up

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thank you very much, that means a lot and is helpful to hear. I'm having a lot more fun just trying to talk about chill gaming stuff, rather than hyper focusing on FPS games. I still love the FPS space but like you mentioned, so much of that space has just turned into criticizing modern shortcomings. Again thanks, and cheers

[@littlegreen9274]

Agreed, I am so sick of the influx of video game KZbin videos that use negative baiting for views

[@MrHeman98]

As much of a cliche as it is Skyrim will always be a comfort game of mine. Borderlands 2 as a close 2nd. Loved hearing yours! Vanquish was an instant Wishlist on steam for me.

[@grogglefexengamez]

RDR2 and Cyberpunk 2077 ❤

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Excellent choices

[@kingoftherain]

For some weird reason Bloodborne has become my comfort game, even though I pretty much suck at gaming. In the past few years I've become somewhat okay at it and the game keeps bringing me joy. Trust me, the doll knows.

[@MisterNoah]

Man, I love Bloodborne. Especially the beginning...just being in Central Yharnum

Devil May Cry 3 and Skyrim are my teo comfort games! Great video!

[@flaminx0r]

Brilliant videos recently, love it!

[@thezachthatsmilesbackgoldf8696]

Super Meat Boy lover here!! I love it for how simple it is. Hard, but simple. That’s what makes it so oddly comforting. That, and the feeling that eventually I can overcome it. Working on getting the dark world ending!

[@amyar123]

LOVE SUPER MEAT BOY! Thanks for mentioning it, no one I know talks about it!

[@FER44]

You just showed in the video like 3/4 of my favourite games, damn. Some extra recommendations from my side that are dirt cheap on Steam are Ghostrunner and Binary Domain. Specifically the second one, it's insane!

[@Katpasniss]

We share quite a lot. My 4 main comfort game I'd say are the Trials games (HD, Evo and Fusion), Celeste (especially farewell), Dark Souls 1 and Half Life 1 All these game I'd consider myself having mastered a good amount, so going back to them now just feel so comforting knowing they were once a terrifying beast for me

Hey, I've found your channel through Splitgate videos, your also the chillest gaming channel I've watched by far, it's good to see gamers that aren't just complaining n whining about every new game that releases Splitgate, Minecraft, Roblox, n LittleBigPlanet was my comfort games

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thank you very much, I appreciate that. Are you pumped for Splitgate 2!? Splitty is such a good comfort game, really happy 1047 is cooking something new. Yo and LittleBigPlanet!!! What a great great choice. I need to go check those games out again, even though I think the user levels on the old ps3 ones had the servers shut down. Can't remember though. Cheers!

[@VitaStarz]

@@BBKDRAGOON ye, im pretty ready to see Splitgate 2, I still play Splitgate today

[@browe091]

Bought stardew valley for my wife so she could decompress after work. I took it over and now have like over 100 hours. Never thought I would be into a game like stardew but god damn do I love it.

[@vans2548]

souls and fire, and the majula theme. dark souls has that ambience, that respite.

[@tobiaseriksson475]

Some great titles in this video👍 I find the Sniper elite games really relaxing

[@Testify087]

My comfort game will always be botw/totk. That game(and my switch) helped me through college and adulting so much. Putting on a Mac Miller record and playing smash with my wife next to me is also my happy place❤️

[@generalpixel]

GTA Vice City - I played this game so many times, I probably know all the missions by heart now. However, I still love to boot up this game just to get in the car and drive around while listening to 80s music. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (any game in the series) - there's nothing like sitting around a campfire with other guys and one of them starts playing the guitar

[@minnidot]

super meat boy becomes a nightmare. after reaching top 2.7% of players while on a gel tab, ill never play again.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

top 2.7, congrats!!!

[@maximumclutch8113]

What about on 2 gel tabs 🤔

[@TheSnoozeFox]

Crazy how you mentioned Vanquish, I play it yearly since it came out. Also Dead Rising is another one.

[@minecraftsteve2504]

You should give Risk of Rain 2 or Risk of Rain Returns a play. It was on sale during the summer sale, but ROR tends to go on sale fairly often. Its such a comforting game to play, with an amazing soundtrack to boot

[@john32505]

¡Great Video as always! I gotta say my top 3 Comfort games are Mass Effect 2, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and Forza Horizon 4.

[@Ty-douken]

For me comfort games are really anything that as you said (& I say often) are just "Gamey Games". They're not trying to be a 10/10 big budget thing & normally score 6-8/10 but they know what they are & embrace it. Most recently it was Pepper Grinder, Horizon Chase 2 & Streets of Rage 4 which I beat in about a week total. All great games that don't waste your time & have legs if you want to go back to 100% complete.

[@DerEchteLinke]

Im'a say it: A good ol' Payday 2 bank heist (cash/gold) is really comforting, be it loud or stealth.

[@vassili3000]

Very good video! My comfort game would be Diablo 3. Even as I’m playing through the slog of FF16 at the moment, part of me wishes I was grinding my 6th Hardcore character instead 😅

[@richbreezy9920]

totalbiscuit mentioned, subscribed.

[@ade1174]

The Mario Maker games are my comfort games. Love booting them up for a quick session. I downloaded over a thousand on my Wii U in SMM1 before Wii U online shut down.

[@anthonysibilia685]

You could also make a video on the chill driving/sports games while listening and music ie Skate 3, Steep, Mx Vs Atv, Forza, Need for Speed…etc :)

[@BBKDRAGOON]

OMG I forgot Skate.... yo and MX VS ATV you are reading my mind right now. I played ATV Off Road Fury for so many hours when I was younger just exploring and jumping around the huge map

[@anthonysibilia685]

@@BBKDRAGOON so many games to choose from, what about Flatout or Motorstorm? Burnout???

[@BBKDRAGOON]

I never really played much of the burnout games unfortunately except the PSP one and that was so good. I wish that series would make a comeback

[@regolith8173]

Videogamy videogames are fun for sure. ^^ I really liked Celeste. Recently I stumbled across Post Void. Can really recommend it as well. Really challenging, but so good

[@mariobarbara2893]

Super meatboy is so much fun and so easy to just launch and play, and when you die it restarts so quickly you don´t even care that you died, it's amazing

[@deadlyswarm6383]

The Dark Souls trilogy are my ultimate comfort games. After countless hours, i still keep coming back making new characters. I also really got into the Halo campaigns recently and they started to become another comfort zone I can keep coming back too.

[@dartagnancurt4392]

TitanFall 2, Animal Well, Elden Ring, Halo reach,

[@RokushoHasashi]

I own Vanquish and Bayonetta for Xbox 360 [Physically] and Xbox One [ Bayonetta and Vanquish 10th Anniversary Remastered Bundle Steelbook Edition]. I bought both Bright Memory games [Plus DLC] on the Xbox Marketplace for half-off on March this year. I have Mirror's Edge and Mirror's Edge Catalyst, I didn't even pay for either because the 1st one, my ex-friend never came back for it and the 2nd one I got it at Gamestop for free because of the Buy2Get1Free deal. I haven't played Super Meat Boy in a long time, fun times!! Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is currently on my game search list. Vanquish, Mirror's Edge, Bright Memory, Bright Memory Infinite are definitely comfort games 💯.

[@jwork5680]

honestly my comfort games would be asseto corsa, gran turismo and the older need for speed, due to the variety of the cars assetto corsa and gran turismo can be challenging and comforting in one game lol, if you have a decent pc, definetly recommending assetto corsa with shutoko mod, its VERY relaxing

[@Fetchdafish]

You gotta' be damn good at platformers for Celeste to be a comfort game, IMO. Game is crazy hard.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

The last chapter is absolutely brutal, but it feels really forgiving thankfully since each screen is so repeatable

[@joshfoustcommunity8928]

Halo is my comfort game, also, since these are stressful times, I’m staying away from challenging games for my health and sanity, once the dark age is over, I’ll be catching up on my back catalog of games!

[@mr.guacamole3961]

recently games like the persona franchise have become comfort games, specifically the modern day games , I enjoy their dungeon crawling and its slice of life elements, it has a relaxing feeling for me.

@@corniel657 😂🙄 Im not sure if you’re joking or just being rude but yeah i do play a lot of games but its still just a hobby. I have a full time career, am working on my masters degree, and have a wife. I still spend plenty of free time with our friends and family and get out of the house a healthy amount. We go camping regularly in the summer and have a weekly board game night with our friends. However, i don’t really watch tv much at all. So the normal amount of time a regular person may watch tv at night/after work is when i play games. I do play a lot but my life is very much in check lol

I'd say the Max Payne series is probably my favorite "comfort game" series. The gameplay is so fun, especially in 3. Halo campaigns are another good choice

does csgo / cs2 count? i don't really try so hard, i just let things goes as it is (i suck at it), and on top of that, they gave you cases on rank up (lose or win, it's still an xp, but winning gives more), so you get to relax and get a dollar or two...

Because comfort doesn't mean without challenge. First 4 chapters are just solid fun. Comfort games don't equal cozy games. They are just fun games that are easy to hop into. No 4 hour tutorials, no giant exposition/prologues, you can hop in and start playing/enjoying right away. This is why everyone's comfort games will be different from one another, everyone gets different enjoyment out of games for different reasons
