“Coziest” Games, AKA The Long Space Voyage Games Thread Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Khajiit didn’t see a similar thread on the first page, so he thought he’d make one!

*Ahem*

You know the type. Those comfy cozy games that you know inside and out. The games that you can sit down with anytime and enjoy them, no matter how many times you’ve played them in the past. They might be 8-bit classics. Maybe they are games that came out only a few years ago that just sank its talons deep into your heart and never let go. Whatever they are, Khajiit wants you to tell us about them! See below…

It suddenly becomes possible to safely travel to a distant, but habitable planet, and you have won a free trip. Congratulations! The trip will take a while, but the ship’s entertainment system only has the capability to run a handful of different games. Which games would you most wish to see on the list and briefly explain why.

Yes, yes, Khajiit can see you rolling your eyes at the dumb scenario he has proposed, but, it’s just for fun, so try not to think to hard about it and just write about the first 5 or so that jump to your mind! Thank you!

Yeah, these are great answers up above. I can see ghastley getting cozy with puzzles, for instance. They'd drive me up the wall, though.

Well, my instinctual answer is all the Bethesda open-world games, because a lot of times I play in bed, or while sitting in a large, comfy chair. And there's also modding, which can be relaxing & satisfying, as long as I know what I'm doing. But if I'm being honest, modding can be stressful when things go wrong, and the Beth games--yeah I'm cozy while playing, but my characters often are NOT. They live in brutal worlds.

And to be honest again, dang, sometimes I'm not really cozy while playing Fallout 3 or any of the Bethesda games. Sometimes I'm swearing out loud! Or full of adrenaline as a draugr (which I DIDN'T know was there) creeps from right beside my character.

So my answer, without a doubt, is Sims 3.

In the settings menu there's a fricking Free Will slider. Crank that sucker all the way to the right, and my Sims pretty much live their own lives, with very little input from me. No battles. No fighting. No creepy monsters. No vampires (well... there are... but they're cute and rarely show up). Look at how pleasant those technicolor graphics are. 📺

It's possible for a Sim to die, but you'd really have to screw up before that happens, or intentionally kill them somehow. No Free Will, lock them in a house with no food, for instance.

I like to pretend that my Sims are in a reality show, and I am their producer sometimes. "Okay Connie, she's gone! Raid the refrigerator NOW!"
