What games do you like to play to just slow down and put your mind at ease?
I've found myself gravitating lately toward slower paced racers and platformers and such. Currently playing Lonely Mountains: Downhill.
Hbu?

On consoles, Minecraft always does the trick for me. Even if I'm not actually doing anything, the music and atmosphere is soothing.
It's Cities: Skylines for me. First it was the first game, but ever since the second game was released, it's been that. I wasn't particularly looking for a relaxing game, but it turns out that building a city is, indeed, relaxing.








Incremental games for me. There are a ton on Steam and most cost $5 or less. They require zero brain power to play.

In a weird way, BOTW/TOTK can be great for this if you avoid combat and just soak in the nature



New Pokémon Snap is my current choice when I want to ease down my mind.
The Another Code games also have that effect on me. Many other non-action adventure games do the trick for me as well.
Katamari. I mean there are time limits but the game is simple and just fun.
