Looking for a "positive" game

[HeyIAmInfinity]

Yesterday i finished Nier:Automata, that caused me to fall into what i call "entertainment depression".

If you have ever watched a tv series finale, or finished a game that you really enjoyed, and felt like life had no meaning; this is what i mean.

Any suggestion for a positive/happy game to get me through this? With this a mean a game that has some kind of story with a good ending, not too complex to cause rage quit and a general good experience, if playable with a controller its a plus.

Fallout 4

I wouldn't consider fallout 4 to be a happy game, and its story IMO is not really good. Thanks anyway

Katamari games (Damacy, Forever)

Animal Crossing

Stardew Valley

A Boy and his Blob

Fez

The Secret of Monkey Island

Simon the Sorcerer 

Little Big Planet

Super Mario games (Epecially Super Mario World 2 and Super Mario Sunshine)

Yoshi games (Yoshi Story & Woolly World)

ABZÜ (from the devs who made Journey for the ps-whatever. The art style is stunning. There's no dialog but I liked the story. Took me about 2 hours to complete, if you can, use a controller)

 

A story about my uncle (It's a really awesome first person platformer, I liked the story a lot. Sorta made me feel like a 12-year-old adventurous kid again. Very leaned-back but still the levels are challenging enough to keep you interested but not frustrating at all. Art style is nice too)

What I think you want is a wholesome indie game: Braid, Bastion, Fez, etc...

I just finished the NieR for the first time (ending A), I still need to do the other endings.

 

If you don't mind the genre or art style then I really recommend:

 

Dust an Elysian Tail (simple but great story and gameplay, can hit feels)

 

Ori and the Blind Forest (simple but great story and gameplay, can hit feels)

 

The Talos Principle (complex story, puzzles, puzzles, if you liked Portal you should like this one too)

Play again until ending E, you just played one third of the story.

I've already played some of those games, i think i'll try ABZU and maybe fez.

 

Thanks everyone

I know, I play as a 9S now.

And you're welcome.

What Remains of Edith Finch

NieR Automata was so good I just didn't even play any games for a week after I finished up to ending E. Any time I play something amazing like that it's hard to get into anything new. I always like simple, low action games after playing a big game intensely for a few weeks. For instance the first game I played after NieR Automata was What Remains of Edith Finch, which is a short but sweet casual game with an amazing story (though not happy). Then I jumped on another short game in The Unfinished Swan (it's a PS3/PS4 exclusive though).

 

I saw the Abzu recommendation. I bought that game a couple of months ago but am saving it for when I want a break from the more hardcore gaming. I bought a ton of games like that: Flower, Journey, Abzu, What Remains of Edith Finch, The Unfinished Swan, Unravel, fLOw, Firewatch, The Witness, etc.

Stardew Valley is very, VERY therapeutic. I used it after I finished playing portal 2.
