Euro Truck Simulator 2 / American Truck Simulator for me.
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.
Hearts of Iron III
Factorio
The factory must grow.
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
