What game do you play to just chill?
What game do you play to just chill?
Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.
In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.
So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

Just started a new colony yesterday because an update was released with new tools and content. The colony I was playing up until that point was almost 3000 cycles old.
It's on sale on Steam in my region, I've heard a lot of good things before so gonna check it out!
Nice.
ONI's one of those games with a lot of layers of game mechanics. Expect your first few colonies to go bad while you get a handle on things.
I'm lurking in the lemmy.world community I linked to above, and I'll be happy to help you out there if you get stuck on something.
Here's your first tip: Geyzers and Vents are one of the main sources of renewable resources in the game. They all have to be "tamed" in some way before you can collect their goodies. They also all have the same Achilles Heel that will keep them from erupting while you're building around them; if there's a natural tile 2 rows from the bottom and 2 rows from left it will always think its over-pressure and eruptions will be suppressed.
