Game is the ultimate Zen game. Super relaxing and able to play passively. But has high stakes at the same time.

Sable has been a relaxing game, technical issues aside.

Usually something older that is simple and easy to get into. Modern games actually make me stressed because of how much shit there is to do. Sometimes I want to be funneled in and have a linear direction to go in.

Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask. The music alone takes me back to my younger days and it’s very cozy.

When you are good at one game, it turns into a relaxing game!

Oblivion. I put it on the lowest difficulty and sneak about putting arrows in everyone's backs.

Race the Sun. Might not be relaxing to all but that particular pace and trying to avoid hitting things, it's pretty ideal for not allowing room to think about much else.

At the moment: Superliminal and The Long Dark
In the past: Fallout 4, Skyrim, Minecraft, Worms, No Mans Sky
I love games where I can just chill and explore, enjoying some type of light, non stressful gameplay loop. Fallout 4 might be my favorite of all time for this. I couldn’t tel you what the hell the story is about, any of the characters names or the narrative in their missions, but I can tell you where to find a bunch of different rare and unique items as I have explored nearly every inch of the wasteland. On top of collecting them, I have created a museum of sorts to display all those items along with books, armor, weapons and nearly every permutation of power armor the game has to offer.
I rarely even engage in combat and never engage in conversation. I just sneak around, loot everything I can, and bring it back to my base and organize all my haul into separate containers, bins, toolboxes, etc, or put it on display. It’s immensely satisfying and super relaxing.

This is a good one
But I play it a bit different and you’ll probably hate me for it lmao
I actually don’t try and play the game. Not in the traditional sense at least. I’m more of a bash brother type of role, where all I do is try to get demolitions
even my team mates hate me for it but ho man is it satisfying. And yeah it’s weirdly relaxing too, bc I’m not the least bit concerned about the score. I just drive in a circle on the track and hog all the boost so I can easily demo anyone on the opposing team, and I love it!Come on man don’t try and start a console war, especially in a thread where we’re talking about relaxing
I don’t typically like to thread police, but the console warring shit has reached childish GameFAQs level of stupidity, to the point that mods are getting sick of it too. Read this if you haven’t already…

No Man´s Sky Floating in Space
... doing nothing but staring at everything flying by, the colors. Might be worth to get a VR HMD, just to chill in space listing to some soothing tunes.

Empathy definition is - the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings (imnotgrey), thoughts, and experience of another of either ....

JRPG are my go to for everything. I like long cutscenes and conversation scenes, but sometimes I just like running around through fields and forests and seeing stats rise with level ups and items increasing. This might stem from my agoraphobia and other issues that prevent me from living normally outside my home.

I remember floating in space in VR for the first time in NMS, smoking a bowl and just chilling out, looking up at the planet above me and watching freighters and other ships fly by. I dreamed about VR as a kid, and as I grew older I fell more in love with sci fi and space games/movies. So to finally be there and experience it was quite the memorable gaming milestone for me.

is trying to take a dig at me saying “I dreamed of vr since I was kid”, I assume because he feels that is beneath him, like I’m so nerdy or pathetic or whatever that he feels bad for me. And he does all that while simultaneously posting on a video game message board and doesn’t see the cringeworthy irony there my dude, I didn’t sit there and stare off into the night thinking about playing VR everyday as a kid (which is what I assume your imagining for you to take this to such a weirdly antagonistic level). I simply meant that I thought about it and I wondered what it would be like and couldn’t wait for it to be a thing. And now it is here and I am happy to enjoy it. lol like I was trying to be cool and just say I also enjoyed a thing that you enjoyed and you come back at me with “I feel bad for you”. I mean, what kind of a dick move is that?

It used to be Dead or Alive Xtreme 1 and 2 back in the day, but nowadays? I don’t really know.
