Thank you a lot everyone for sharing your stories! A lot of touching reflections and honestly right now useful suggestions for games that could help me through what has been one of the hardest phases of my life thus far due to the health condition of a very close family member. In early October of last year, after cutting ties with someone very close to me, Metroid Dread and the Switch OLED were about the only things that were able to give me some joy and distract me when I was actively suicidal. Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 have helped me a lot at different points in the last 1 year/ 1 year and a half. The latter together with God of War (2018) started getting me excited about games again (and something in general) at the start of last year after a rough end to 2020.
