When I was having major anxiety issues around the beginning of the pandemic (isolation + law school is a bad recipe), Zelda: Breath of the Wild took my mind off of the anxiety and gave me short periods of time where I could be at peace. Definitely helped me get through it until I could get on anti-depressants.

Also, Red Dead Redemption 2 helped me the same way during law school before the pandemic.

Less depressing than the Switch version? I never played the Switch version, but playing on the Wii U kept me hopeful while my relationship was reaching its end. Running around Hyrule, finding new and interesting things each time I sat down to play kept me going through some hard times. I didn’t find the game depressing, it became familiar and peaceful at times and at anytime I could battle and overcome something bigger than myself.
