There's something to be said for a game's ability to offer sanctuary in difficult times. Growing up I would often return to certain games, simply because I loved the feeling I got when I visited those worlds. Whether I was enduring some major stress in my life, or just having a bad day, I always felt better after just an hour in those safe virtual spaces.

This design is pretty crowded with characters, but I wanted to include as many of my favorites as possible. The little captions read:
