What game do you play to just chill? (discuss.online)

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?

Weirdly, Satisfactory, a game about thanklessly building a factory for a faceless corporation to exploit an alien wilderness.

But you get a coffee mug and there are lizard doggos.

Lol, you sold me. That's been on my backburner for a while. Now I just need to download it.

I just tried this game. While i 'get' it now, i really wish there was just a 'creative mode'.

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is. Just released last week.

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep! There's a box you click for advanced options or something like that when creating your world, and you can enable the use of various cheat toggles such as flying, God mode, all tech unlocked, zero cost everything
