I remember the exact moment it became my favourite was when I was looking at the cliffs and ocean, a seagull was chirping and soaring around, oak leaves swayed in the breeze and a herd of deer roamed the plain. All to the sound of castlejam.
It really makes me nostalgic to play.

I really like Knytt. It's an atmospheric platformer with no NPCs or combat but some enemies and deadly obstacles. And nice atmospheric music.
After crash landing on an alien planet you have to explore the world in search of the parts that blew off of the spaceship and scattered around. You mostly navigate by jumping and climbing walls. Pressing a button will show you the exact direction towards the nearest part, and you use that for vague navigation.
Highly recommend. And it's free!

STALKER is comfy in an eerie sense. The music is creepily soothing, the cloudy weather make you feel like you are blanketed from the rest of the universe, the sound of the rainy weather, and the rubble, burned down buildings accompanied by the hilly, green scenery makes the environment really comfortable. I would say it's a comfy game for sure.

The ps2 had region locking so you need the same iso region and driver region. ISO (europe) BIOS (europe) for example.
I got this ISO (undub is really hard to find as it turns out):

Then just load the ISO and select "Boot CDVD (fast)" and you're playing.

>>462Such a shame it got taken off of steam, at least there's still physical copies around.
Katamari and Outrun 2 are both games that I can play any time and take it easy doing.

Even though it's pretty active and can be intense if I want it to, it's thoroughly therapeutic.

Mobil 1 British Rally Championship is a comfy game, looks kinda shitty but after toying a bit with the physics, you get a nice result.

Another game that I really enjoy is Rise of Nations, it's really good however it never really picked on, unfortunately. Microsoft tried doing some sort of remake and while it looks decent, the community isn't there anymore I think.
By the way, I strongly recommend E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy, pic related.

Unfortunately I haven't played KS for a long time, so I can't immediately suggest some good levels. The level archive is a mess so it will take a while and a lot of trail and error to find the good stuff.
Speaking of games with level editors: Dustforce has become my go to quick chill game. Despite how difficult and demanding it is, the atmosphere of the game is always calm, and it's really pleasant to play and replay stages. Stressful stages like "Hideout" are disarmed by the atmosphere set by the music and quick restarting. It's really a nice game to have.

A while back I played Persona 5. For me that's probably the best made game I've ever seen. Everything about the atmosphere, sound design, environments and art direction is just right.
When I found myself with nothing to do for the last part of a day I just walked around shibuya. Night rain playing in the background as my character ambled down the street passing the crowds beneath an umbrella. It sounds dumb but I felt so content.
I should really get back to playing that, I've not touched it for so long. I think I'll try to get back into it when the next holiday hits.

Usually the games I go to for comfiness tend to be indies like Elona, Cave Story, Rainworld, or Minecraft.

Earthbound is also there and an outlier in comparison since it's not an indie but it's one of my favorite games of all time and I have a lot of good memories of playing it and beating it for the first time on a winter break.
