I'm feeling like shit GAF.

Finally watched Grave of the Fireflies because of all the recommendations here.
I felt very miserable and decided to distract myself with a game. I bought some indie games last christmas, one of them was Brothers:A Tale of Two Sons.

Looked like a lovely puzzle game.

God damn, I nearly started crying. I have a brother and while I was very touched by Grave of the Fireflies, that game hit very close to home.

Now I what I want from you: I need a game recommendation. A game that tells me everyting will be alright. Something heartwarming. I'm not trying out another one blindly...

cosmicblizzard · Feb 13, 2016

Ghost Trick. It's pure happiness.

Alienous · Feb 13, 2016

The Last of Us: Left Behind

Arnie7 · Feb 13, 2016

Journey.

Portal 2.

SirUltimos · Feb 13, 2016

I don't have a recommendation, but that's quite the 1-2 punch of emotion you put yourself through.

Platy · Feb 13, 2016

Do you have any platform that has a Kirby game ?

PRjumpman124 · Feb 13, 2016

Undertale. Short game but boy does it warm the heart.

Bandersnatch1 · Feb 13, 2016

The relationship between Lee and Clem in Walking Dead season 1 will perk you right up.

Mulgrok · Feb 13, 2016

Recettear

Capitalism, ho!

Cess007 · Feb 13, 2016

My "feel good" game will always be Katamari Damacy.

kurahador · Feb 13, 2016

To The Moon will cheer you right up.

Serious recommendation; Tales from the Borderlands

Valonquar · Feb 13, 2016

Never Alone

Moaradin · Feb 13, 2016

Oh boy Grave of the Fireflies...

Now that's the best movie I never want to watch again. I was a wreck after that movie.

Undertale is probably the most feel good game I've played in recent memory. Though there are definitely sections that got me a bit teary eyed.

. Pacifist run.

Just clean your palette with some light Werner Herzog and play some Cart Life afterwards.

Only PC at the moment. Want to buy a PS4 somewhen in 2016. One of the reasons is Journey!

This one is already on my list. Will play it next, heard only good things about it. Thanks!

Finished that one one month ago ;_;

Tune in to the eurobeat station and just drive.

2 great picks right there.

Persona 4 Golden, true ending.

eXistor · Feb 13, 2016

Buy a WiiU and play Mario 3D World. It's unfiltered happiness on a disc.

Yabberwocky · Feb 13, 2016

Ouuuuuch, OP. That's a brutal combination. I physically cringed when I read the thread title. I hope you enjoy Undertale!

Kieli · Feb 13, 2016

Undertale. Try to get as much EXP and LV as you can.

newsguy · Feb 13, 2016

Firewatch

Zekes! · Feb 13, 2016

PC? Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

CengizMan · Feb 13, 2016

Damn OP, I am laughing out loud. Play Life is Strange next! That will definitely work

with making you even sadder.

Skux · Feb 13, 2016

Flower. A pure feel-good experience.

TheWorthyEdge · Feb 13, 2016

My go to game for this would be Journey.

Past · Feb 13, 2016

Persona 4.

MegaSackman · Feb 13, 2016

Tales From The Borderlands... Unless you want to suffer then finish Brothers.

Gerugamesh · Feb 13, 2016

Marlow Briggs

Kuksune · Feb 13, 2016

Oh and Fez is kind of relaxing to play.

Ladekabel · Feb 13, 2016

Tales from the Borderlands or Kid Icarus: Uprising

Played both this year. After Portal 2, the first two games that legitimately made me laugh.

Or give Minecraft a try. After a few movies and games being a downer I started with it and it grabbed me for a few weeks.

atbigelow · Feb 13, 2016

I sold a lot of copies of "Grave of Fireflies" when I worked in retail. Years later (and ago), I finally rented it from Netflix and watched it with my brother.

First five minutes of that movie and we both looked at each other. "Oh no, what have we done...?"

I don't need to watch it again.

kabel · Feb 13, 2016

I'm not sure about some of the comments here, might be trolls with sad games.

Anyhow, I think my next game will be Undertale. I heard somewhere you can choose to not fight NPCs so thats what I want. Hoping for a heartwarming story.

Thanks!

I finished it. That's why I made this thread.

You have chosen... wisely.

Tales From The Borderlands, awesome fun story.

I'm definitely not trolling with Ghost Trick. It has a really optimistic view of death, which is of course only temporary in the game as the point is constantly trying to change events that already happened.

But above all that, the ending is really goddamn heartwarming which is only elevated by the super upbeat soundtrack. After finishing the game, I was unashamedly happy for like a week straight.

It's one of the few story-driven games that can keep me smiling most of the way through.

Jotamide · Feb 13, 2016

Something happy? Hmmm Kirby Triple Deluxe.

Grave of the Fireflies is triumph of modern cinema btw.

SoundPulse · Feb 13, 2016

Undertale is a good choice.

Otherwise, Kirby is shaped like a friend!

Sumio Mondo · Feb 13, 2016

Gravity Rush. Devil's Third. Solatorobo. Mega Man Legends. Persona 4. 90s charming 2D platformer (Sonic, Mario, Rayman, Ristar, Rocket Knight etc). Tim Schafer adventure games (Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle etc). Plenty to choose from.

EndMerit · Feb 13, 2016

As tempting as it would be to troll, Undertale is an excellent pick for feelgood game. On consoles, Persona 4 and Journey are good ones too.

That said, in the context of "feelbad games/movies", The Beginner's Guide has different type of feels, but I'd be interested in your opinion of it.

E_Darkness · Feb 13, 2016

You brought this on yourself I think.

I recommend NieR.

Yes I played it. One of the indies I bought on christmas.
It felt very personal. So personal I felt uncomfortable at the end. It didn't make me sad or happy. I just thought about my life and how other people see me. And how I see them.

You harsh, harsh soul, you. Tsk tsk.

Portal 2.

why would someone play portal 2 if they can just play portal?

...

The Boat · Feb 13, 2016

You should've watched Requiem for a Dream afterwards.

BumblebeeCody · Feb 13, 2016

Did shed a tear but the movie was also not one of their finest. A lot of the scenes felt forced rather than developed on.

Life is Strange is a good "sad face" games

flintstryker · Feb 13, 2016

For true unfiltered happiness play Mario Galaxy
