Hey guys, to keep it short, I'm going through a terrible heartbreak at the moment and I was wondering about the games that never fail to cheer you up, to brighten your day or simply provide sufficient escapism to forget your earthly problems for a few hours.
I just got Persona 5 and Titanfall 2, what else would you recommend? All platforms are acceptable.

Viewtiful Joe or Ape Escape, probably.

Burnout 3 always puts a smile on my face. The xbox version looks a bit better but you can only emulate the PS2 one.

Dwarfs on steam is a great game that cheers me up when I'm feeling sad.
I'd say Pikmin or Mario sunshine
I'd say Pikmin or Mario sunshine, comfy games.
For me, it's painting the map in Europa Universalis 4
Wind Waker never ceases to make me smile. Simple, adventurous, sweet, and fun.
Also, Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley is great at cheering me up, but if your heartbreak is related to romance, you might want to skip that, as marriage is a big part of those games.
Blessings, user.
For me it's Pokémon, anything up to the 4th Gen never fails to pick me up.
it also helps to talk about it, if you feel like it
Super Mario Sunshine, pacman world 2, the sonic adventures, halo 3, the mass effects, and deadly premonition all do it for me
Slime Rancher
Animal Crossing can either depress or cheer you up depending on your mood.
L4D2 can be fun as hell with friends even randos.
Go for nostalgia. For me, a WoW vanilla server is easy comfy fun. Pokemon gen 1 or 2. Link's Awakening.
You're a fucking monster
Postal Redux is on sale on Steam right now. Never fails to brings a smile to my face. Especially the level with the marching band.
Devil May Cry always makes me happy, 5 is coming out soon so now would be a good time to get the HD collection if you're interested.
It gets better so don't focus too much on the sad times, just remember that those give meaning to the good times.
Super Mario World is always a comfort game. No matter how shitty your day is going, you can just fire it up and enjoy yourself.
Thank you all for your recommendations, I'm getting these games asap
Just your typical break-up shit: she left last week after eight years, she was my first everything and now she's gone and I've been crying myself to sleep every night since.
Wait, hold the phone. Maybe it's because it's right beside but is that fucking Mike Stoklasa from RLM?
Megaman X4 with Zero is great for that to me, the game is so fun and the soundtrack is great
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition
Patapon is another great one. And I tentatively recommend God Hand. It's difficult so that might stress you out, but something about the atmosphere and mood of it is very cheery.
>So Mike! What did you think of foot fetish porn?
>Personally I thought it was a real kick in the teeth!

i feel it, buddy. happened to me a few months ago. it'll get better, but it's gonna hurt like a bitch for a long while.
i recommend burying yourself in something immersive, like terraria or minecraft. something you can just lose yourself making progress on stuff, with little stress. osrs and e.y.e. also helped me in that regard.
make sure to let it out if you need to. too much bottling up and you'll break down. it'll be alright in the end, and if it isn't alright, it's not the end.
Nier Automata but only the very beginning and end of the game.
Well Jay, what did YOU think of OP's depression?
Hey man, just wanted to say that, good as vidya is, what you really need is to focus on real life goals right now; no better way to pull out of a heartbreak than self improvement. Games are great but do not lose yourself in escapism.
It'll get better man, hang in there and keep fighting. We're all gonna make it.
