MODERATORS
These are my picks when I need a game to relax. Sadly a lot are not "while away the time" kinds of games, but they do make up a catalog that I revisit from time to time based on my mood.
Flower (short but good)
Spiritfarer (maybe avoid if you've lost a loved one recently)
Tetris Effect (if you aren't stressed out by intevitable failure)
Donut County (mindless fun)
Journey (does have a couple of mild chase scenes but is consequence-free and can be finished in one sitting)
Slime Rancher (colorful and productive)
The Witness (chill puzzle game)
Firewatch (some dark parts but is very peaceful and meditative)
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (a basic RTS propped up by a very rich narrarive)
Unravel (cute and beautiful platformer)
Untitled Goose Game (if your idea of "relaxing" means being the living incarnation of Satan)
Abzu (relaxing scuba game, maybe not relaxing if you're thalassophobic)
Civilization VI (just one more turn...)
Plus 1 for Abzu
I'll take a look at these! The only one on there I've played is Untitled Goose Game. It was great for this but now the timed missions are too stressful, at least for now.
Great list. I would also add... Unpacking. Very cool game about unpacking boxes and finding a place to put things in a new home.
Viewfinder. Cool Puzzle game about taking photos that change the world
Toem. Explore a quirky world and take photos for people.
Chicory. Solve puzzles by painting. Does however have some mildly challenging action sequences
