I like mini motorways and stardew valley. What about you ?
Just Cause 3, but I’m honestly a bit tired of it now. I love just wingsuiting around the place and I’ve never found anything else that gives me that same level of catharsis.
I do switch to JC4 occasionally just for a change of scenery, but the wingsuit feels too… floaty? In that one. Idk, just doesn’t feel the same.
I am desperately open to suggestions for something similar in terms of brain off flow state gaming.
I kinda liked the wingsuit in 4 tbh. I loved actually flying around with the jetpack. But it has nothing on the jetpack in 3, with the rocket launcher and all.
Teardown is good if you are playing for the destruction aspect. If you’re a fan of nice open world movement than the spiderman games are good if you ignore the copganda. And honestly I really enjoy death stranding for a game to relax too. It gets action packed sometimes but not too often
Teardown is on my wishlist! Might pull the trigger this weekend and try it out. I did enjoy Spiderman, but death stranding was waaay too slow for me lol
Teardown is a really solid game under the technical gimmick. It plays more like a puzzle game, but way more open ended.
Building in minetest or wandering around fishing and stuff in FC5. Pretty area, shame about all the cultists.
A fellow minetest player in the wild!
Indeed. I’ve been doing my best to spread the love. :)
Any game I’ve played so much I can do it mindlessly is one I’ll use to destress generally. Specifically something like Wazhack or another roguelike where if I die oh well, back into it! Maybe something with no fail state like Heaven’s Vault instead.
Recently: Brotato and RAILGRADE
I got Brotato on sale a couple weeks ago on steam and I’m terrible at it but still having a good time.
Got 3 victories under my belt & a bunch of unlocks, though. Any pointers for a “noob”?
Minecraft survival, some podcast and a phat ass joint.
Cloudpunk
I wish cloudpunk had optional fetch quests. I liked the narrative. I enjoyed the experience.
But the world is so big and I want to just mindlessly chill and be a taxi/delivery driver and watch a optional meaningless bar go up.
Totally agree. I love to just drive around and discover new places in this game. With Camus.
Factorio’s a great one for this, as is RimWorld, but specifically on the modes where there’s no combat in the former and “base builder” difficulty on the latter. Lately, Palworld has been filling this slot for me. Just build stuff, occasionally tackle enemies, and listen to podcasts while you do it.
Oh, also, mid-pandemic I played A Short Hike, and while not a long game, it was an incredible escape for a while.
I like to wander around the environments in the Hitman reboot games. Not really trying to kill anyone or achieve anything, just enjoying the environment.
Lately, it’s been Factorio. It’s nice to set all my worries aside and pick up an entirely new set of worries regarding factories and the growth thereof.
I will not touch this game because I know myself too well
I told myself this for years before finally buying it, haha. It’s exactly as addicting as you think.
Honestly I find Stardew Valley quite stressful, with it’s short daily time and so much to do.
I like anything turn based or pausable. FTL and Into the Breach are good. Slay the Spire is fun too. But I am kinda missing a chill game tbh
Slay the Spire is super chill and has a ton of replay value.
Stardiew Valley with mods
Honestly I find Stardew Valley quite stressful, with it’s short daily time and so much to do.
Sounds too much like real life to me :/
Superflight is fun. Simple wingsuit flying game. Mini Metro is great. So is Fez!
Superflight looks like my jam! And it’s super cheap! Thanks for the recommendation!
Brotato
Who’s out there down voting brotato lol
Game is a gem and potato’s are objectively the best thing
Elite Dangerous was a good one. Just free, open space.
No Man’s Sky, in the same vein
Age of Empires 2. Random real world map.
