all my stress just melts away picking up my switch and sitting out on a bench somewhere riding on a horse in breath of the wild while hearing soft, soothing melodies play.
I swear I think I’m gonna have hundreds of hours into this game before I ever beat it
StarCraft 2. I have too much to think about in real life so I need something that forces me to devote 100% of my attention to it. I don’t particularly care if I lose so I can just queue again and again and come out with my brain reset.
The only time starcraft calms me down is when im doing something brainless like coop or the campaign. At my level of play, it is honestly not very fun on the ladder because I dont really feel like I can still do fun stuff and still win. And being a competitive person doesnt lend itself to being ok losing a lot more because I wanted to do something stupid instead of what works.
I all use a lot of rational thinking daily, so i do like a game that take all of your focus but i’d rather have something brain dead. So in short, rocket league. (Also MHW can be like that sometimes)
Idk. I’m broke in the brain. The games I play to unwind tend to have high performance demands. I became the top ranked player in project muse with what I thought was casual play. Turns out that obsession is second nature to me. What I like more than anything else is being able to have my fingers move as fast as I can think.
I don’t think I actually de-stress though. Anyone have any ideas for me?
I de stress by engrossing and ignoring my problems so I tend towards whatever sucks me in. Started Osu! In 2012, other than that I like things like tarkov and am getting close to 4k hours in hunt: showdown. I get told it’s not as casual as I say it is, but it’s casual to me lol
Descenders. Just has a real nice flow state quality to it. Chill soundtrack. You can play as fast or slow as you want to. No pressure to do tricks or get high scores. Just making it to the finish line eventually is enough.
IMO Mini Metro quickly becomes super stressful. I assume Motorways is the same.
Instead I would say Islanders is quite relaxing. Super minimal city building.
What I’d really like though is something for Steam Deck with a good flow state. Any suggestions? Lonely Mountains Downhill looks pretty good maybe. Someone else mentioned Superflight which is great but maybe too minimal.
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.
Refunct. The perfect game for when your brain is fried after work imo. It’s super minimal so not something you can sink tens of hours necessarily into but it’s worth checking out for sure.
