We all have that one game we swore we downloaded "as a joke" or "just for the memes." Fast forward, and we've got 40 hours logged, a fully decorated virtual cafe, and a deep, unironic love for cartoon dads and talking guns. 🤷‍♀️ There's no judgment here, only solidarity. These are the games that are maybe a little corny, sometimes designed for kids, but we adore them loudly and proudly. They're our secret (or not-so-secret) gaming comforts, and we're not stopping anytime soon. Get ready to see your own habits reflected back at you.

10 Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator

Romance Me, Grill King

Let's be real: we all said we were playing this ironically. But Dream Daddy's wholesome, heartwarming charm is utterly disarming. It's a dating sim where you woo a cast of wonderfully written cartoon dads through dialogue and quirky minigames. The writing is surprisingly sharp and heartfelt—it has no business being this good! You'll find yourself genuinely invested in a barista's backstory or crafting the perfect Dadsona. It’s the ultimate soft spot game. Our type? Definitely the soft, pun-loving widowers with impeccable grill skills. No shame.

9 Club Penguin Rewritten

I Decorated My Igloo Instead Of Adulting

We log in for a quick nostalgia hit... and suddenly two hours have vanished while we're redecorating our igloo or competing in Sled Racing like it's the Olympics. Club Penguin Rewritten is a pure, unadulterated time capsule. Sure, we have bills and deadlines in the real world, but for a little while, it's blissful to just waddle around, play mini-games, and forget we ever grew up. It’s the digital equivalent of finding your favorite childhood toy, perfectly preserved.

8 BitLife

One Tap From Saint to Sociopath

The descent into chaos is both swift and glorious. One minute you're vowing to be a model citizen and a doctor. The next, you've married six people, robbed a bank, and joined a crime syndicate—all before lunch. BitLife is a beautifully unhinged life simulator that lets you live out every morally questionable fantasy from the safety of your screen. The simple tap-to-choose interface belies the peak mayhem within. The best (or worst) part? We feel zero remorse. It’s the ultimate guilt-free power trip.

7 Five Nights At Freddy's

Why Are We Like This?

Logically, we know it's a jump-scare factory with lore so convoluted it requires a PhD to understand. Emotionally? We are terrified. FNAF taps into a primal, irrational fear of haunted animatronics and flickering security cameras that is way too effective. You can mock the merchandise empire all you want, but when the power drops and you hear that familiar music box jingle... you'll be holding your breath, whispering "please no" to a pixelated bear. The fear is real, and we keep coming back for it.

6 PowerWash Simulator

The Zen of Blasting Grime

It is, quite literally, just cleaning. And it is perfect. There's something profoundly meditative about methodically pressure-washing a filthy playground slide or a grimy van. No stress, no timers, just you and the satisfying pshhhh of dirt disappearing. It's the digital version of popping bubble wrap. You boot it up to relax for ten minutes and emerge hours later, wondering if your own patio needs a deep clean. Dirt? Obliterated. Anxiety? Temporarily vanquished. It’s simple magic.

5 Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Pure, Unfiltered Wholesomeness

Yes, it's essentially Sanrio's take on Animal Crossing. No, we do not care. This game is a pastel-colored hug. Your biggest stressor is whether Cinnamoroll approves of your new outfit. You bake cakes, give gifts to friendly frogs, and decorate your space—all without the grind of other life sims. It's self-care in a video game. After a long day in the real world, sometimes you just need to vibe with My Melody and pretend everything is perfectly, adorably fine. And here, it is.

4 Pokemon Cafe Remix

I Would Commit Crimes For My Eevee Barista

Let's call it what it is: Candy Crush wearing a very cute Pokemon hat. And we are utterly enslaved by it. The pastel aesthetics rope you in, and the deceptively challenging match puzzles lock you down. There's an inexplicable thrill in building a team of culinary Pokemon and mastering Gengar-themed latte art. We're not proud of the hours spent chasing seasonal recipes or the deep investment in our cafe's vibe... but we're also not stopping. The heart wants what it wants, and ours wants Pikachu making macarons.

3 Fortnite

The Chaotic, Ever-Changing Theme Park

We've heard all the critiques. "It's for kids." "The meta is exhausting." And yet... we queue up for one more match. Fortnite in 2026 isn't just a battle royale; it's a cultural phenomenon and a live-service theme park. It has concerts, crossovers where Ariana Grande can fight Darth Vader, and a sentient banana named Peely. Is it loud, chaotic, and sometimes cringe? Absolutely. Have we all used a default dance emote unironically? Also yes. It's popular for a reason—it's pure, unpredictable fun.

2 Among Us VR

Betrayal Has Never Felt So Personal

The original Among Us made us distrust our friends. The VR version makes us question reality. Hearing the genuine panic in someone's voice as they fake tasks, or the guilty cough right after they stab you in the back... it's a whole new layer of social deduction horror. Standing face-to-face with your impostor friend as they spin a blatantly ridiculous alibi is both terrifying and hilariously absurd. It takes a party game and injects it with raw, unfiltered chaos. We love to hate it, and we hate how much we love it.

1 High on Life

Chaos, Crude Jokes, and Talking Guns

The gameplay is fine. The humor is... aggressively specific. But High on Life has a bizarre, sticky charm that we cannot shake. Maybe it's the vibrant alien worlds, or maybe we're just suckers for a game that fully commits to being the loud, chaotic friend who never stops talking. Your guns are sarcastic companions, the jokes land somewhere between clever and deeply regrettable, and the whole experience feels like a playable stoner comedy. It's the definition of a guilty pleasure—a game we know is flawed but keep returning to for its unique, unapologetic vibe.

So there you have it. Our confessions are laid bare. These games might not top "best of" lists, but they've carved out a permanent, cherished spot in our routines. What's your guiltiest gaming pleasure? Go on, tell us. We promise we won't judge (much). 😉
