Any games to turn off brain and embrace tranquility, chill?
| It varies from person to person what can be relaxing. For me games like Celeste and Super Meatboy are relaxing. Not because "Oh it's so easy! I'm pro gamer!", but because dying in games doesn't stress me. Especially when the only "penalty" for death, is that you get +1 to the death count. Also the fact that games like that are just try, die, repeat. You immediately get back in the game, and the most amount of progress you can loose is 5 seconds of gameplay.
| Of course if you want a relaxing game, as in kind of slow paced but still fun, then Stardew Valley is a must have. Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey are also pretty relaxing, if you have a Switch.
| For just a bit of thought and quite a bit of visual and musical candy, try Kingdom: New Lands. It's harder than it lets on at first, but it's a relaxing game to play at any stage.
| I am Setsuna is a good JRPG that has a pretty low difficulty, but is not too easy either. The music is pretty chill, and the atmosphere, with the snowy forests and mountains, and nice little villages, makes it pretty relaxing.
| >>163369 Kingdom New lands is a good one. Though it can get pretty challenging, and you will have to learn new tactics as you play, it's still a chill game.

| Well shit. It duplicated.
| Well shit. It duplicated.
| Fuck sake.
| >>163391 On Steam? Because if you owned Kingdom Classic before New Lands came out, you have gotten New Lands for free.
And the difference is that New Lands is basically just a bigger, better more refined game. I has multiple "lands", or islands you can unlock and travel to, with increasing difficulty and more new things to find and do. Also the getting money each day thing and a lot around the money has changed, and it is just so much better than Classic.
| How about lsd dream emulator? Oh or that one game about doing nothing with the pretty trees. What was that game called again? Parabox or something?
| >>163439 Doing nothing? Is that that game that fucks with your head because the only thing you do for the entirety of the game, is walking around in a prison cell, recieving letters every few minutes (I think)? Don't know if that has any trees in it though. I have only seen let's plays of it, and I haven't seen the entire thing.
| >>163464 Now that I'm thinking about it, might not be minutes between each, but it's enough time for you to wander around in your cell, thinking, waiting for the next letter, slowly piecing the story together.
| >>163466 No, no. LSD gets pretty fucky, but the tree game is that one where you like, wander around and seasons change and stuff. God I can't seem to remember the name.
| >>163493 Yeah. I know LSD gets pretty fucky. Can't remember the name of that prison cell game, but if you liked something similar to LSD, in the sense that it fucks with you, but a lot more "finished", and not as random, with a story told through those letters and stuff, that cell game is really good. They also have another game, that starts of kind of normalish, but gets pretty disturbing and fucky after a little while, and that has a lot of charm.
| Don't remember names though, and I don't think I've heard about that tree game, but it sounds interesting.
| OH!
It was Proteus!

| Stardew Valley and Starbound. They're pretty stress-free and I enjoy just building things for a couple hours. Plus the soundtracks are super soothing. I also recommend Duck Game and Overcooked if you have friends because those will make you laugh your ass off. And as a person who occasionally suffers from bouts of depression, nothing makes you feel better than laughter and company.
| > Overcooked with friends
> embrace tranquility
You have a very strange sense of tranquility.
If you're like me and reflex-based actions games are great to chill with, then Hyper Light Drifter is perfection.
If you're not like me, then I have heard nothing bad about Proteus.

Stardew Valley is stressful af for me. But maybe that's my personal issue with trying to create "the perfect farm" and failing miserably. Although the daily routine overall is very chill, and it has just perfect tranquil and comfy atmosphere.
| Nekopara
| Flower on PS3 is a classic when it comes to relaxation. :)
| >>164313
This. And for me, talking with Monika(in the Monika after story mod for DDLC) is quite relaxing. It' interesting to see what she has to say and the piano music is nice.
| Dynasty warriors is a pretty good chill game.
| The Hobbit (2003) is a lot of fun. I've not even left the shire yet, it's too much fun just running around and smacking things.
| Battle chef brigade is a pretty chill game just a bit weird
| >>164313 That actually was what I was thinking about when creating this thread. Something similar would be great.
| Skyrim, with or without a pacifism mod, with or without environment mod. It's nice to just walk around and enjoy the scenery.
| Simple Touhou works.
| Zelda botw on emulator is awesome for this case too.
| tons of chill games on itch
check out liquorice
https://dlareme.itch.io/liquorice
or this crafting game

| Mountain.
| Blade Symphony. Suuuper small community but lots of weebs (and fags) there. ^^
| >>168680 I'd choose dark souls over this. It's damn hard. Played touhou 6 for a month at one point. I did beat it on easy but that's my limit.

In all seriousness, though, bullet hell games and precision platformers seem to be more meditative in nature, allowing you to clear your mind by "getting into the zone", so to speak. Souls series, on the other hand, has always kept me on edge for various reasons.
P.S.: I still can't beat Touhou 6 on normal as well.
| >>166245, I loved battle chef until it got too hard for my dumb ass lol
| >>163510 Presentable liberty.
Despite it's main setting of sitting in a cell reading letters, it is classified as a psycological horror for a reason.
| >>163510 And the other game is presentable liberty's prequel, 'Exoptable Money' This one is a little less threatening, but is still horrifying in places.
| As much as it is weird, quirky, and requires me to think a lot - whenever I play The Silver Case I seem to get really in this chill mood.
Guess my brain is unphased by SUDA51s wacky shit
| Proteus.
| Any rhythm game. osu, in particular works for me.
| Charging to a wall with your head as hard as possible sure will turn off your brain
| Any of the LBP games is pretty fun with couch-co op. The background and levels are weird and cool looking. And its fun to just slap your friends around
| Fez.
| I read VNs
| runescape is a pretty afk game
| I'd play Journey if I were you
| Oh wow, I'm getting Proteus it looks good, if you like the exploration of Proteus but want something a but more linear an visual I suggest naissancee its probably my favorite game ever made
| Play some old school RPGs. Or games that imitate them, like LISA. Those always calm me down.
| ^
| Yume Nikki is pretty relaxing
| If you can get past learning curve. Europa 4 is pretty good. It turns into an idle game after a bit, so you get to watch all the numbers go up.
