We all have that one game or genre that never gets old and we return to time and time again.

What is it for you and why is that the case?

I go back to a few almost routinely.

  • Mount and Blade: Warband (with and without mods)
  • Rocket League
  • Crash Bandicoot 2&3
  • OpenTTD
  • Pokemon (The mainline ones are all basically the same game lol)

For M&B and OpenTTD, being able to rely on my old knowledge of the game to succeed feels satisfying since they both have a steep learning curve.

For RL and Crash, muscle memory taking over the majority of play is relaxing.

For Pokemon I just have a crippling amount of nostalgia
