A thread for positivity in a maelstorm of shite. 


A thread for games that you found over the past few weeks that maybe you had neglected, or found the time to play now, or maybe ones you just went back to as comfort food.

Anything that has helped, basically. 

This is not a thread to dunk on a game that is mentioned - there are plenty of other outlets for this. Rather, it's kind of building on the most recent issue of Edge's idea about games that have helped in the current situtation; although as you'll see below, the restriction on non-shooty shooty is not here at all. 

So go at it. Talk about the games that have helped, the games you have found solace in, or maybe just a game that you think needs to shine when people may have more time on their hands.

I'll start...

The Division 2

There's probably an element of irony here in that I bounced off D1 because of the too hard-on love for the military and its associated miscellendria, and that now I am going into D2 during a time when it has somewhat proven itself prescient in its prediction of a pandemic, and the economic and social fallout following. 

Thankfully, D2 is not a game that really is able to present plot in a cohesive, or, to be frank, efficient manner. And that's what helps it onto this list. I've found just toddling about landscapes and shooting people (again, dodgy politics aside) to be a very relaxing way of spending time. 
And what helps most is during those fallow stretches - when you know it's 2 hours until dinner, or there's no more e-mails to send a day, it's something that can make time pass very quickly. 
I'm sure Animal Crossing will appear here at some point, but as a contre-pont to that, I wanted to provide the mindless, tick it off, satisfying shooter alternative.
