The format of these posts is simple: let’s discuss a specific game or series!
I'm in quite a bad place mentally at the moment, so I wasn't really feeling like making a post. But then I thought, I could combine this in the form of a special discussion topic:
Let's discuss your favorite Uplifting Games. What helps you when your feeling down or stressed out. What game series has comforted you in harder times. Are there certain genres that work better for you in these times? Feel free to share anything that comes up and react to other comments. Let's get the conversation going!
If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).

Sorry to hear things are rough for you. I hope whatever is causing it improves!
Mine is an odd choice, or maybe not, but its the first thing that came to mind: Night in The Woods
It's about a girl that comes home from college to her old dying town. I know that doesn't sound terribly uplifting, and there's some downer stories mixed in there, but overall I found it a very heartfelt and uplifting game, because the main character's friends are the most wonderful bunch of people, and you hang out with them and go on little adventures throughout. It's got a cool creepy mystery story going on, but the game is mostly about deep friendship, family, and overcoming struggles with their help, and I found that very uplifting and worthwhile.
Night in the Woods was such a standout game. I started to watch a let's play, realized that it was going to be fantastic, stopped the let's play, played the game, then finished the let's play to see their reactions. If you like wholesome let's plays, I highly recommend PlayFrame. Here is their Night in the Woods play list

KNIFE FIGHT!!!
There’s a lot to do outside the main plot, the townspeople were really interactive. Great rec! The falling leaves give it a cozy vibe too
