Question what game relaxes you

[SleepingDog]

None. I tend to find that games wake me up. On the relaxation front I prefer music or spoken books. The problem is I may get too relaxed and fall asleep.

I'd say Journey could be the best game to calm my nerves. It's sad that it takes a couple of hours to finish it.

I mean even watching this launch trailer gives me joy.

I'd say Journey could be the best game to calm my nerves.

To be honest, the only game that can calm me down when I‘m furious is a mobile game… That is Jouney‘s little brother Sky: The Children of Light. I just love the game. If it was available on PC, I would instantly install it.

As for most PC games: they are better in setting my curiosity than my mood.
Yet I have to admit… It is somehow calming to watch little Tristis (my shadow from the game The Longing) browse through his books… 🧘‍♀️

There's really only one game in my library that calms me, and it's American Truck Simulator. Which is funny, because by day I'm also driving a big truck, and it's nowhere near as relaxing.

@Crapulence1337 Interesting. Anyone know if there's a 'Forum Poster' game? I'm feeling a bit stressed here at the moment.

I've never heard of these personally, so potential buyer beware, but Control or Cyberpunk sounds like a forum poster game. Maybe give them a try?

Well I fell asleep playing subnautica and drowned, losing a 60 hour permadeath run. I woke up when my GF went to the bathroom at 2 am and couldn't help but notice the Game Over screen. Rough night.

So, Subnautica is very relaxing. I recommend it. Just make sure you head to base when all this relaxation makes you want to nod off.

this forum used to be a good game of whack a spammer but its not as fun anymore.

I used to be on a forum that had an rpg built into it, you could buy equipment and use it to fight other members of the forum. It was fun but the person who wrote it had left forum by time I got there and game just sort of ended.

Welcome to the forum

Any tasty examples?

 

[McStabStab]

Islanders, Dorfromantik, Cities: Skylines, No Man's Sky, Hidden Folks, and Peggle. I also find MTG: Arena relaxing most of the time when I'm just queuing historic to gain gold for drafts but it can get frustrating like any other competitive multiplayer game at times.

 

[eXtreme.gdal]

Don’t know about you, but it was here that I found myself a game to relax.
I liked the game Townscaper most of all I advise everyone.
Who knows more interesting games?

 

[FlightFight]

Abzu is very relaxing.

Portal my lounge game)

 

[playingnamakagravity]

i find teamfight tactics relaxing

 

[Stuinnnts]

Personally, when I come home from work tired, I like to play old strategies - Dune 2000, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, and also Heroes of Might and Magic (although this is not a strategy).

Anything final fantasy

What games do you play to relax.

I play Patrician II or III (NOT IV!) and Medieval Total War (original or II version) for relaxation, but the most calming game for me is FreeCol, a re-programmed version of Colonization by Sid Meiers. It can be downloaded free, or another free turn based game is Imperial Conquest2, also downloadable.

 

[Johnway]

Games that i find relaxing? playing Doom 2 wads. Its not super challenging to stress me out, but just challenging enough not to make me fall a sleep playing it. of course it depends on the wad though, i don't play slaughterfest maps or the super challenging (sunder, opuplok etc) as they are too frustrating to play.

Generally games too laid back like puzzle games, walking simulators etc are just too mind numbingly dull that i can't stomach them for long. Plus i sometimes leave feeling unfulfilled and even agitated.

Something i have done every so often if i can't fall asleep is play a turn based JRPG and grind for exp for a bit. The repeatedly wandering the same areas, rinse and repeat strategy eventually gets me tired.

 

[Alexmusster]

Any games give me a chance to relax. But I especially love games from the 90s and the 2000s. Although I play the new ones as well. I can't name my favorite game, there are many, but I play CS:GO very often.

 

[neogunhero]

Just found out that the map Il Molise on Vampire Survivors with hyper mode turned on is very relaxing. You’re just fighting static plants that only do damage if you walk too close, so it’s a lot easier than the normal maps. It’s quite relaxing and easy to turn your brain off while you just run around collecting gems. The main maps require more concentration but Il Molise is really just plain fun.

My favorite thing is to put on some Aphex Twin or Squarepusher on Spotify and turn off the in-game music while I play, it really helps me unwind from a stressful day at work.
