What’s the last game you played that gave you pure happiness?

[Brix]

2020 has delivered some major hits. But the game I continue to play when I'm bored or feeling down is dragon ball fighterz. It's just a pure joy to play and it's very easy for even casuals to pick up. And the game continues to get better with new characters & updates. Online play may be underwhelming but I can ignore those flaws and still have a great time.

How about you?!

Tetris Effect. The first time I put it on, I went straight through the game on normal. It aims to inspire transcendent feeling and, at least in that first time playing, was pretty effective.

Fall Guys is the first in a really long time for me.

I played A Short Hike a few days ago and it was just the right amount of whimsy and cozy during pretty crappy times. My GOTY so far.

 

[Weiss]

I don't have an answer and that bugs the shit out of me.

The fuck have I been doing all this time.

Mario Odyssey was just bliss to me. Even the frustrating rocket levels. I just loved that game. The New Donk City festival and the ending segment are some of my favorite setpieces of any game this gen

 

[JoJoestar]

The Origami King for me. The music and the art style can't make me feel another way.

 

[FireCloud]

AstroBot Rescue Mission

I smiled through the whole thing.

 

[kamineko]

Spider Man. When I was a kid he was my fave (tied with Batman) so having that experience really felt great

Fall Guys, I'm legit happy every time I play it even if I lose.

 

[Splader]

Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

It also gave me other, more somber, emotions.

 

[FunMouse]

Mmm I'm content in a lot of games but pure happiness? I don't think I've played a game like that since turtles in time lol

[poncle]

Had quite a few recently

- FF7R during the coliseum boss fight, even more on Hard

- A Short Hike from start to finish. Even went back to it after completing everything just to hang around

- One Step From Eden, when your build is strong, but not op, and the boss themes kick in

Fall guys, its just a silly, fun game that never fails to put a smile on my face

Grabbing and pushing people off in Fall Guys is bottled joy.
