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? 

Kirby's Epic Yarn was lovely as a chill adventure with cute, wholesome vibes.

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.

Abzu, Flower and Journey.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons, for sure. I still pop in every few weeks to greet the neighbors and tidy the island.

Lately, Pokopia. I actually stayed up way too late last night laying down dozens of railway tracks in a cave system :P

Also lately, Mario Kart World. Before bed, I’ll often slow things down by driving aimlessly around the open world, picking up any collectibles I find and listening to the god-tier soundtrack.

I just about to post this! I do this as well, when I'm feeling too tired or burned out for something more challenging or demanding, I just pop MK World in and coast around Free Roam collecting coins and unlocking stuff.
