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.

Old school FPS games. Doom, Quake, Unreal, etc. They’re just simple, cathartic stress relief.

In the same cathartic relief idea i also remember finishing both god of wars on ps2 as a kid. Worked great as anger management too. I feel like doom as a very similar energy in that regards.

bradek,

Same. But I have found OpenArena (based on the Quake III code) to be an update with a decent amount of online players.

Parrying in Arkham Origins. It took me SIX. MONTHS before I finally understood how to beat Deathstroke 😬

As funny as it may sound its dark souls 1/3 and elden ring for me

The next project is a remake of the remake of TLOU, clearly.

Same moment as you, I swear it was either the game or someone else said you have to learn it or you’ll have a bad time.

I knew I wasn’t getting the parry right in Revengance either. Thanks for the tip, I’ll redownload that game.

Kung Fu on NES, the magician. The arcade version was normal sized and you just had to kick his ass. The NES edition he was tiny, and you could only hurt him with a crouch and punch. When you have to take turns with your brother, and it takes several tries to make it that far, it seemed like the greatest victory to finally figure it out.

Don’t even start me on MGR parrying. I beat the entire game without once learning to parry. I did it by accident like once or twice but couldn’t replicate it.

The second Monsoon fight took hours.

SO IT WASN’T JUST MY DUMBASS. Thank you, you have no idea how much better that makes me feel XD

So, a long time ago I got Little Big Adventure 2 a.k.a. Twinsen’s Odyssey.

This game has a “behaviour” feature that lets you switch between 4 modes : normal, stealthy, athletic and agressive. This has an impact on how the main character Twinsen moves and acts : normal walks and interacts, stealthy sneaks around, athletic runs and jumps, aggressive lets you punch stuff.

Note that all of those except athletic are unbearably slow, and the game requires quite a bit of jumping, so I quickly considered athletic the default one, only switching for something else briefly when I needed to do something specific.

In this game you get your second and last weapon, a sword, quite far into the game. It does a lot of damage, and it’s required to beat some enemies. But every time I’d try to use it, Twinsen would do a ridiculous backflip first, then do a jumping attack forward. It was very hard to hit a moving enemy that way, it required a lot of space and since I could barely control that move (tank controls by the way), there was a huge risk I’d get hit in the process.

I lost many times against a huge boss that was only vulnerable to the sword, eventually beat him with great difficulty and after that went through the rest of the game still trying to get the most out of that ridiculous weapon.

It took me another playthrough to understand that the way Twinsen used the sword depended on his behaviour. Only athletic did that double jump first, agressive in particular just let you hack stuff up immediately.

I have not seen anyone mention these, which is surprising. They are the definition of relaxing lol

  • Dorf Romantik
  • Islanders

Relaxing base builders with a nice soundtrack and a “get as many points as you can. Failed? No problem, just start over and relax again” kind of vibe.

Then there is duck game if you have some friends to relax with. It is hilarious.

Blueshift,

In that same vein: mini motorways and stacklands

Rocket league. I’m still not very good but I’ve had a lot of those moments as far as the controls. I used to see my friend and it just looked like button smashing magic. It’s actually not that hard tho

runjun,

I nearly have 2000 hours in rocket league. I’m not good and it’s one of the reasons I don’t play anymore lol

I got a free fighting game on epic. Dnf Duels or something. One of the tutorials had a combination to block or counterattack, can't remember, and I tried every which way I could think of yet nothing worked.
So finally, I got out of the game and uninstalled it.

The big moment was figuring out it's not my job to find a way of fixing some company's dumbass decisions. That it's ok to say "this shit ain't worth the hassle".

Episode 1 racer. I finished the game multiple times before realising that there was a turbo you could activate

Damn, you accidentally did a challenge run!

You can WHAT? How?

Archelon,

Angle the your nose down on a straightaway and you’ll see the speed indicator on the right get a red bar that’ll go up to a green light. When that light goes yellow, you can hit the boost key to go turbo.

(On keyboard, the defaults are the up arrow to angle down and shift to activate boost)
