Good morning!
Itās been a while since we had a nice videogame chats, so thatās what I have for you today šĀ Gaming can serve the same purpose as reading would; which can be either connecting with people, or simply escape reality for a little while.
Iām sure we all have some sort of comfort reading, wether it is a specific book or genre ā Our go-to whenever we need a good pick-me up, or something that just means so much to us.

With starting to use my bookstagram more, I discovered a new genre of games on instagram that I never really explored beforeĀ (Iām mainly a nintendo gal, as iāve been introduced to that world pretty early in life by my uncle. I never really went too far from it; though I discovered more games that I liked since, I didnāt really asked myself what genre it was; pretty similar as I did with books), and that isĀ Cozy gaming.Ā Basically itās for the more calmer games out there, that are perfect for relaxing.
To be honest with you, I have no idea if my picks fits the bill for it or not š Ā as iām pretty new to the concept.. though I can almost certify for the first one, iām not too sure of the other.

ā„ The Sims franchiseĀ
As mentionned, I started playing games at around 5years old when my 17years old uncle was babysitting me. Once of my very first games was the original Sims; through the years, iāve played every one of them ā currently being obsessed with the Sims 4. I donāt usually have too many games that iām playing at once, but Sims 4 is always a constant with me, no matter what else I might be playing.
ā„ Zelda; Breath of the wild
I canāt even fathom how many times iāve restarted this damn game since it released š Ā Which iām also currently restarted not too long ago, so thatās what iāve been playing lately.Ā While that had always been a common behavior of mine of restarting my games, I get into periods where I get urges to replay it- and it being literally the only thing I can think about; I even dream constantly that iām playing a zelda game ahah!

What games do you tend to gravite more toward?
What games are your comfort gaming?
Are you a fan of the Cozy gaming?
Really fun post! My comfort games would be Animal Crossing or a Kirby game, and back when my Gameboy Advance worked without help it would also been Sword of Mana.
Ooo nice!
I still never really played any kirby or sword of mana; but animal crossing is def a good choice šš¼
The Sims is my comfort videogame too! Iāve been a fan of the franchise since the first game and Iāve put the most hours into The Sims 2 but I tend to gravitate towards The Sims 4 these days. Iām currently attempting a legacy challenge in my Sims 4 save and Iām up to my third generation š
I should try challenges like that! but after the 3rd gen is usually when I get tired of my current save and start another hahah
