With gaming often bringing me into a really depressive headspace sometimes with how the markets are developing, whats a game you can always go to and just be lost in, or just be happy with?

Personally i would go for advance wars 1 and 2 on the gba (there is no remake and never will be)

the artstyle, the music, the game-play is just simple, yet effective, a sublime experience of very fun times.

Whats yours?

      I’ve got OpenTTD downloaded, but always end up going down the rabbit hole of looking at mods, and then sort of giving up on the idea :p

      Is it worth it vanilla or do you have any other tips at all for trying to get into it?

      Oh, I remember checking this out! It’s a very cool project, although I’m not very good with these types of games

      I love the look and stuff but just could never get into it, any tips for a newcomer?

        The wiki is pretty good at introducing the concepts and basic gameplay strategy. Overall I’d say just learn by doing. Half the fun is building crazy train networks and seeing if they actually work.

        My usual strategy is to just build out bus routes at first to generate a steady income stream, and then from there start to go wild with the trains.
