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?
You're viewing a single thread.
Minecraft, Doom (first two), Cities Skylines, and more recently, Unpacking.
unpacking is great.
How's Minecraft as a singleplayer chill game? Been debating on getting it, just to explore and survive pretty much.
Seems like it can go a long way.
It's an almost perfect chill game. If you want to be creative, you can build all kinds of cool stuff. You can work from a homebase that you build up over time, or stay on the move. Or dig a big hole, just because.
It's become one of those games that I go back to every couple of years.
I’ve seen quite a few mods making it even more immersive. Also seems to be quite playable on the steam deck even with mods.
Thanks for the reply.
I used to mess with mods, but even just vanilla it's a great experience. But whatever floats your boat :)
