I know we usually don’t talk video games here, but I thought discussing relaxing games might still be nice
League of Legends ranked solo queueLake. Just driving around delivering mail and parcels and communicating with the residents, whilst listening to the soundtrack is so soothing.
Monument Valley. No rush, no timer, pretty puzzles. I keep replaying it now and then.
Beautifully made game
Yes! Love that game so much
Orbit. You’re just trying to achieve and maintain a stable orbit. I would play it one-handed while rocking my infants back to sleep. So peaceful.
Going fishing in rdr2
Stardew Valley. It can be stressful, but even when it is, the stakes are pretty low.
Journey on playstation 3. It’s now on pc too
Atmospheric and visually pleasing yes. The few moments where you had to sneak around the monsters was a bit stressful.
Factorio. It is as relaxing or as stressful as you want it to be.
Especially in no bug mode, and moreso with infinite ore. Time no longer has any meaning
Oh god, factorio drives me so crazy. I lose all sense of time from the pressure and get sucked in. It really is like crack.
I always loved Canaster for its chill. But the most relaxing was actually Mers (a Pen and Paper Game).
Boccia is relaxed as well, but you have to remember the balls.
It was a flash game called flOw. You’re just a microbe wandering around eating things, and you occasionally evolve, based on what you ate. I can’t find an instance that works properly with a flash emulator, but that game would actually lower my heart rate.
its like the early levels of Spore. really nicely done.
Oh, that reminded me of Osmos and also Feeding Frenzy. Makes me wanna play it now…
Damn I forgot about that. I think I had that on the PS3!
I fucking love that game! You can buy it on the Playstation store!

I play Merge Dragons which is just a game where you endlessly merge and build worlds. It’s relaxing.
Anyone play “the longing” ? It looks like it ought to be really chill. I guess I will have to find out.
Dorfromantik it’s a sort of puzzle game that’s deeply relaxing
Played it too, very chill!
Hexologic. Make sure to play with the music on too.
Firewatch, the walking simulator.
Truck simulator either the American or European version.
Dear Esther, the original walking simulator
That was more of a stroll.
The Long Dark’s DLC…The Long Walk
