I like mini motorways and stardew valley. What about you ?
I like to wander around the environments in the Hitman reboot games. Not really trying to kill anyone or achieve anything, just enjoying the environment.
Minecraft, Skyrim and valheim
I started Skyrim last month, for the first time ever, but already have it up there with Minecraft. No pressure, just exploration. Add a bowl, and I’m set.
Any game I’ve played so much I can do it mindlessly is one I’ll use to destress generally. Specifically something like Wazhack or another roguelike where if I die oh well, back into it! Maybe something with no fail state like Heaven’s Vault instead.
For me it’s probably KSP and/or KSP2, which is weird because I literally design and program for rockets as a job…
Have you ever done this?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Skyrim, without a doubt. That ambiance…
I feel cold when I play it. Especially in the northern parts of the map.
Old school FPS games. Doom, Quake, Unreal, etc. They’re just simple, cathartic stress relief.
Same. But I have found OpenArena (based on the Quake III code) to be an update with a decent amount of online players.
In the same cathartic relief idea i also remember finishing both god of wars on ps2 as a kid. Worked great as anger management too. I feel like doom as a very similar energy in that regards.
I have not seen anyone mention these, which is surprising. They are the definition of relaxing lol
- Dorf Romantik
- Islanders
Relaxing base builders with a nice soundtrack and a “get as many points as you can. Failed? No problem, just start over and relax again” kind of vibe.
Then there is duck game if you have some friends to relax with. It is hilarious.
In that same vein: mini motorways and stacklands
Cloudpunk
I wish cloudpunk had optional fetch quests. I liked the narrative. I enjoyed the experience.
But the world is so big and I want to just mindlessly chill and be a taxi/delivery driver and watch a optional meaningless bar go up.
Totally agree. I love to just drive around and discover new places in this game. With Camus.
I bought the DLC last week after finally finishing the story, mostly because it’s stated as almost a direct sequel, with a story about as long as the first. It also deals with the consequences of some of your decisions during the main story.
I haven’t played it yet, but I’m excited to jump in.
Building in minetest or wandering around fishing and stuff in FC5. Pretty area, shame about all the cultists.
The Dark Mod - absolute incompatible with stress
Brotato
Who’s out there down voting brotato lol
Game is a gem and potato’s are objectively the best thing

Minecraft survival, some podcast and a phat ass joint.
Any Dark Souls with a heavy weapon. Just smashing those puny hollows into pancakes.
