I'm not talking emotional games about working out parental trauma, I need shit to play past my bedtime while drinking soda and eating pizza. I last did this with diablo 3, and I wish to revisit the headspace

I'm playing kotor 2 right now and if you can get past the jank and some of the sillier bits it's a great reminder of why it's a classic. Would play the first but can't be buggered getting it to work when I believe the remake is on the way.

Any of the old school Tony hawk's games also fill this role for me, especially Pro skater 1-3 (I never really vibed with the open world stuff in the later games).

Or of course whatever kind of extended rpg suits you. The PlayStation or PS2 final fantasy games are obvious contenders, or maybe some of the cooler western RPGs (which I have never been particularly big on so no suggestions).

But really it's hard to say without knowing what you like and what you played as a kid.
