Rules: only places that don’t exist, so no “NY from Spider-Man” also if you can limit to a building or little town, not an entire city or map.

My pick: The Spencer Mansion from 1996 Resident evil. I always loved that place. Of course without the creatures.

    There are classic ones like the Citadel (Mass Effect) or even Halo for the aesthetic beauty, but honestly I think I think it would be extremely serene to go to the cabin from Spirit City: Lofi Sessions. Each time I play that game I find an incredible desire to be in the cabin; my chest honestly tightens each time I think about being in such a relaxed, no-cares place with the perfect decor and perfect weather.

    However, assuming this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I would probably pick somewhere unrivaled in beauty or technology (gotta pick up some useful things if I can…). I don’t think my desire for peace and tranquility can outgun the practical part of my brain

    Stardew Valley would be calming and escapist. Skellige from The Witcher 3 would be beautiful, but I probably wouldn’t live long there.

    Does Kanto count?

    If not… Howarts from the Harry Potter PS1 game…

    If not… The locations of Toy Story PS1 game…

    (As you can see I am rummaging through my childhood memories).

        Although, I’d rather live quietly in one of the side villages.

        Yeah, who wouldn’t be able to do their chores with magic, or having unlimited housing capabilities with it!

    Meridian, Horizon Zero Dawn The Citadel, Mass Effect Rapture & Columbia, BioShock A large, fully built-up island, any Anno game

    Bonus: Tamriel, Skyrim, but that’s probably too large for the scope of the question

    Another Bonus: Anywhere in No Man’s Sky, as long as I have a spaceship
