[Come On Tars]

it was rocket league till that was stressing me out.

now it's apex

 

[Otterz4Life]

Splatoon 2 Salmon Run

 

[Damien Crowley]

My Turn would be something like Tekken 7's Treasure Battle... Endless Fights with Paul on Tekken God Prime Rank (I am lousy against online opponents, but against the machine i do pretty ok).
Also I just love to search and try out mods on games... All those Unreal-Engine-Games, where you just put that .Pak-File in the right folder and boom, John Wick in Street Fighter V

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Right now it's COD: Modern warfare. Used to be splatoon 2, I overplayed that game though.

It amazes me that anyone can chill out playing MW.

 

[DelireMan7]

Dark Souls without any doubts. Such a great atmosphere. I love hearing the NPC speaking, seeing the phantoms of others players, making some coop to help some new players, making a newbuil, walking around Firelink Shrine with its wonderful music...

This game is pure magic for me.

 

[Reave]

Stardew Valley has been my go-to game for relaxing. It’s straight up therapeutic.

 

[yoyo67]

It amazes me that anyone can chill out playing MW.

The new shoothouse mode is a lot of fun. Plus, I play local co-op most and campaign most often. You can set up bots and play king, gulag showers, speedball, etc. Me and my buddy play those maps alot.

 

[Mega Man]

I've been enjoying grinding ladder in Hearthstone on one monitor while watching something on the other. It's chill enough that I can (almost) do two things at once.

Not going to lie, now that I've passed rank 5 the intensity may ratchet up a bit...

 

[Thabass]

Geometry Wars 2 or Breath of the Wild.

 

[ToxicPhantom]

I used to just wander around in Fallout 4. Just explore the entire map and see what I would find.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

SSX

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Back in the PSP days, it was Burnout Legends and Lumines for me.

 

[Shodan09]

Sea of thieves! But I don't do any quests, just sail around the shores of plenty and wander round the islands. Maybe do some fishing.

 

[Benjamin_MFF]

Picked up Rez Infinite this weekend, looking forward to see how I can chill next weekend with it.

 

[Patrick S.]

DayZ

Assetto Corsa

 

[GV82]

Golf Games, this Gen I played quite a bit of Everybody's Golf as my Ex bought it, funny though as that’s what I’d play when she would stress me out, as we game shared on PS4 & were in a long distance relationship, as soon as she had gone home, that’s what I’d play.

Also to be fair I’d Play it to de-stress from other things in life like work too and yet in real life I don’t Golf at all.

I kind of need to get my own copy of any Golf game now, since I stopped game sharing with my Ex when we split 2 years ago.

Oh yeah Steep is another one, ignore the actual Challaneges and just go exploring the Mountains Ubisoft has put in a lot to explore so I can spend hours Snowboarding or Skiing with some chill music on.

 

[OrionNebula]

This year, I have found Resident Evil 2 Remake with unlimited rocket launcher ammo to be quite therapeutic and relaxing

 

[Dross1984]

Binding of Isaac.

 

[Tiamat2san]

Got 3 actually.
Witcher 3 when I need to relax.

Killer instinct or dead rising 3 to blow some steam when I am angry.

 

[GenericUser]

Currently the Hunter - Call Of The Wild

Just sitting on my tripod, enjoying the scenery. Lovely.

 

[GametimeUK]

Skater XL

 

[Södy]

Red Dead Redemption 2, Forza Horizon 4 or Halo (campaign).

 

[flacopol]

slay the spire , hades atm

but most of the time farm low tier maps in poe

 

[Katsura]

I like to play online games more, for example Destiny I Find more info here <link removed since mod removed his post> Has anyone already used these tools?

Yea, that sure doesn't seem like a suspicious link at all
Was 'pleasehandusyourcreditcardinfo.com' already taken?

 

[Naked Lunch]

Final Fantasy XII and World of Tanks fit this bill nicely.
Zone out and game.

 

[grainflavour]

Sonic all Star Racing for me but it is a tad stressful

 

[sedg87]

Might be a bit of a random one but...Sleeping Dogs. I love driving around when it's night with Killswitch Engage on the radio.

 

[BattleBabs]

Depends on my mood and how tired I am. Overwatch is a fav, but ES Skyrim and Fallout 4 are both good for mind-numbing it out, and No Man's Sky for the spacy music and exploring.

 

[Azelover]

Nothing beats Tetris!

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Probably Rocket League.

 

[Pansy]

A calm game like Syberia is always a treat. However, if I’m feeling an adrenaline rush I’ll pop in House of the Dead 2 for the wii am day just blast away.

 

[Tesseract]

i'm looking for one right now

thinking terraria since it's so chill

 

[Laconian Sword]

Yakuza series. I play Judgment to wind down from Sekiro at the moment.

Most relaxing game ever for me: Animal Crossing on my DS Lite around 2007-ish. Pure joy on the way home from work.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Lately it's been Skater XL and Session.

 

[Halo0629]

Definitely animal crossing or sim games like the sims 4 or parkitect.

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Open TTD

 

[Hostile_18]

Race the Sun

 

[M1chl]

Chime with Markus Schulz - Spilled Cranberries level, the ultimate chill game for me.

 

[Tesseract]

get to the orange door

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

Bubble Bobble !
But this only works for the first dozen of stages, after that I'll get exponentially angrier.

 

[Urprobablyright]

Actually at the moment it is Warcraft 3

 

[SpiceRacz]

Rollercoaster Tycoon

 

[cireza]

Phantasy Star Online v2 on Dreamcast, I do a couple runs of whatever area and I am good.

Also Dead or Alive 6 (and 5 before 6 or 5+ on Vita), I love this series, great AI, great fun.

 

[Zannegan]

Used to be that SSX game for Wii. Anything with a decent freestyle/free roam mode really relaxes me. I should really look into a new snowboarding or skiing game.

Endless Ocean was also extremely chill. I need a new one of those.

Right now, the closest thing I have is Luigi's Mansion, but that's just because it's what I happen to be playing and it's not particularly challenging (plus it's just all-round charming). Won't be my go-to once I finish the story.

 

[Rac3r]

Practice laps on Gran Turismo Sport if I just wanna chill out. Rocket League if I'm looking for something a little more competitive but still mindless.

 

[Spukc]

Practice laps on Wipeout if I just wanna chill out.

 

[HyprDnk]

Golf Story is usually my go to

 

[NahaNago]

civ 5. Unfortunately it is also the reason my backlog is so huge.

 

[Menace-UK-]

Don't have one. Gamers are too sweaty and frustrating nowadays for online games to be chill.

 

[Holgren]

I think I have fallen prey to online multiplayer games since those are the ones i instantly go to play when I have free time and want to relax. Previously Overwatch, now LoL. It sucks because I don't end up relaxing at all and sometimes frustrates and stresses me more, so I am currently looking for a chill out game to play. I was thinking of Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl since it looks like a Fallout type of game with an open map and not objective oriented. I just wanna roam through an open world game and do dumb stuff without any worries.
