Either Pikmin or Tears Of The Kingdom! Both are such good games!
Sometimes slowroads is pretty chill. Sometimes subway surfers. Idk
Minecraft is the one I keep coming back to year after year. Throw in a massive automation based mod pack and I'm set for months until the save lags to the point of unplayability.
I'd have to say Dark Souls, honestly any of them. Once you know what you are doing, where you're going, it's easy to just get lost in playing
I guess Overwatch. Im one of those fans.
I think most of all the history of passionate stories drew me in and kept me. But most of all I like these games to challenge me to stay focused on the current game and what I can do and keeping my tilt in check.
Honestly feels like a mental practice to stay chill even in the most frustrating losing streaks.
But to super chillout maybe sims 4 or stardew valley. :)
Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
Train Sim World, currently 5 but TSW updates are like FIFA or Madden so its not that different from previous versions. At least it was a free update.
Just driving a train around, especially if its somewhere I know is really relaxing. Really looking forward to the first Japanese route dropping sometime this year (hopefully).
I do like that you can chose to enable safety systems or not depending on if you want to play on easy mode or very easy mode. It has even less pressure than your average relaxed building game if you ignore the clock.
Downsides, steam engines are pretty bad in the game, I just don't bother with them. Dovetail are pretty useless. Brand new routes are usually overpriced. Some of the routes are bad, really bad, or just plain boring. Very important to read reviews. Everything is DLC.
Upsides, there are frequent sales so if you stay away from the latest content it can be pretty cheap in comparison. If you get a route you like it has a fair amount of repeatability. Some of the DLC overlays nicely with other DLC.
It was Ark for awhile. Anything in the souls series hits for me. But LATELY, it's been wolfenstein 2.
Factorio
I turn off biters and play on 100x research because it's calming.
The factory must grow.
Hearts of Iron III
The binding of isaac
Dwarf Fortress and Settler 2. It's quite comforting seeing everything working and the dwarfs/romans going forth and Back.
Also Kingdoms and Castles works here well too.
I like the "Wuselfaktor" like they say in german
Do you know widelands.org ? Should be right up your alley.
I know it. But never got a grip like Settlers 2. But maybe i'll give it another try.
Thanks for the reminder :)
Slay the Spire
City skylines and factorio.
Stardew valley, minecraft and sometimes mass effect 3 multiplayer. I'm still impressed I can regularly find matches in such an old game.
Satisfactory
Factorio
i love factorio, but I cannot see it as a comfort game.
I've got so many things to do, i need to massively increase processing on novice, gleba is a wrek, all my space platforms suck, everything needs to be reworked, and I won't have the tech to fix fulgira or vulkanus until after I ve beat the game.
very stressful.
#2 most hours of any game on steam.
I got 355 hours in the game and haven't launched a rocket yet. I just built my first silo like an hour ago. I thought I was like minutes away from doing it. Nope. I have a whole new fucking chain to learn. Oh well. I love it. It's not stressful at all to me. This is the type of shit I live for. My OG answer to this question is SimCity 4. The endless replay value and modding in that game got me well over 5k hours of play. Factorio is the only game since then that has come even close to that feeling.
Heavily modded Kerbal Space Program. It's so relaxing building rockets and going on complex interplanetary missions for science
I love that there are people like you who have the kerbal science down. I still try to get into orbit by strapping more solid fuel rockets on and smashing that space bar. I recently became quite skilled at getting up to 12 people into orbit and back down again because, goddamnit, it pays the bills for all the failed missions to the other side of the planet to take thermometer readings.
Id say Long Drive. It's fun to drive and listen to the radio, find weird stuff, and laugh at the hilarious glitches
Super Mario World. It was the first one to really unlock gaming for me. I go back and play it fairly often.
Overwatch is the weird one. The game just clicks for me, and when I'm in the zone, doing call outs and nailing upcoming enemy ults or pushes just feels so good.
Anything Zelda. Stardew Valley. Civ 6. RDR2.
Minecraft.
If I'm feeling particularly antisocial I'll play Angband or Umoria.
Project zomboid: walk around, bash heads in, gather stuff for a base you will never build.
I play with infection disabled though - so not to restart after one bite
This is kind of my answer too. 7 days to die with the difficulty turned down, dying light, last stand aftermath. Still looking for my white whale, someone please come make a non-scam version of The Day Before!
Binding of Issac
