gaming Your 'go-to' video games for relaxing?

[Here No Longer 5,270]

Probably among the best for this in my opinion would be the Mario Bros. arcade game (of course the version from the GBA ports). It's very laid back and doesn't take much concentration until you get to around level 15 or so.

[Tao 6,719]

Smash Brothers on my 3ds or my Okami game on my ps2.

[Lucid_Nightlight 923]

I just play what seems good at the time.

[Crimson storm 1,826]

For me it’s Sunset overdrive 

[smk.png 181]

Mario maker. I know it's weird, but for some reason, super expert levels make me feel more relaxed. I mean, what part of this implies relaxation? 

[Arkadios 91]

I have a level 77 character in Fallout 4, so sometimes I get on and head to the Glowing Sea to pwn some Radscorpions.

[SkyPie 259]

Definitely Meadow. Its music and atmosphere is nice and calming.

[Elyrse 168]

Ironically, A GTA game.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,631]

A lot of the time, it's the game from my childhood, mainly the Hot Wheels games.

[DuskSong 742]

Elder Scrolls Online. It's been my main game and escape ever since I left WoW back in October.

[Sparklefan1234 161,850]

The WWE2K series are my go-to games for relaxing.

Mainly, because I spend a majority of my time creating things instead of actually playing the game.

astroneer

u spawn on a random uninhabited planet as an astronaut and then proceed to collect minerals and build a space base with a relaxing soundtrack and an artstyle that's pleasing to the eyes

Something Call of Duty usually. Works perfectly for my ADHD addled brain.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

To relax? Really only Skyrim, and firefight in Halo Reach back before my disc copy of that game broke. Pretty much every other game I play stresses me the F out, but they can still be fun. Just not relaxing.

I also like to take out my KV-2 in World of Tanks on occasion. There's no feeling like like popping around a corner and one-shotting a poor unsuspecting medium tank, or shaving off 3/4 of the health of a heavy who was dumb enough to leave his side armor facing you. That is relaxing.

[EpicEnergy 22,074]

Normally the video games that make me relax are RPGs and MMORPGs.

[Sherem 4,807]

Doom and some bit of the sims to relax around

[Treeglow Flicker 13,015]

I play a lot of The Sims 2 and 3 to relax.

[Luna the Great of all the Russias 2,700]

I have recently returned to playing Minecraft. 2010-2011 was the last I played it regularly and 2013 was the last I played it at all for years.

[A Small Bear 60]

Dark Souls 2, actually. It's one of my favorite games when I just wanna lean back and play something and lose track of time.

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

I'm not much of a gamer, but I will say Minecraft is very relaxing...when you're not being chased by a creeper of course. 

[Usager 431]

On xenoblade chronicles, there is a zone called Satorl marsh, seek its time lapse on youtube, during day, dry trees everywhere with coloured mist called ether. The music its cool too.

during night, the magic happens 

[NiceVillains 244]

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale.

Simple elements. Relaxing, friendly vibe. Innocent and optimistic. The dungeons can be seen as grinding, but its not challenging enough to gain frustration and when your reward is items for your shop its really nice.

[CheeryFox 23,811]

Classics, I Am Bread, Pokemon, Tetris online, etc. 

[Clawdeen 12,109]

Specifically for relaxing? Stardew valley.

[Savygriffs 5,021]

Probably either Toontown or Minecraft.
