It’s a game where you place tiles to build a map and you get scored based on how well the placed tile matches the rest of the tiles. Extra score comes from additional goals which usually mean finishing a certain area.
It’s my go to game when I’m burnt out and can’t think or I’m so sick I can’t focus on anything, because the game is perfect when you’re low energy. There is no clock, there is no mental overhead of keeping track of something. The game gives you all the information you need and you can play one tile at a time. The music is calm and the tiles you place create this idyllic world that’s pleasing to the eye.
Warframe as well. And Star Trek Online, if only for the ships. Gonna go back to Neverwinter for a spell.
Might hop and jump into the Fallout series, with New Vegas coming to mind.
Even Mount and Blade has me ride from time to time.
if I were sick, I’d probably play some RimWorld, or whatever open world RPG I have going, but those are probably more involved than it sounds like you’re in the mood for.
Heh, I remember travelling to Proxima Centauri from Alpha Centauri in Elite Dangerous… around 80 light days, one of the longest in-system distances in the game (for inhabited systems), using in-system engines because that’s too close to jump through hyperspace… last time I looked the record was at around 26 minutes, most ships probably did it in around 30 to 45.
Good trip to just set the cruise speed, grab a book, and relax…
When I’m sick I often get nauseated, almost like vertigo. So my answer is none of them.
If I’m not nauseated, any of them. I play a lot of low-impact, easy games. Animal Crossing on the Switch is both of those, until you see a knee-high tarantula! (They are in the game and are big because they’re not to scale, like most of the bugs. They run away from you though… unless you have a net out, in which case they will attack! You can’t die in AC though, they just knock you out and you wake up in front of your house, no harm no foul.)
I play Blue Prince on Mac and on Xbox (it’s also on PlayStation and PC). It’s a puzzle game, kind of a deck-building (but not really) building game (also not really). It’s pretty unique. I absolutely suck at it, but I like taking a run every other day or so. It’s fun to fail at. You have to get to the 46th room of a house, but its 9x5 grid resets every day, and as you come to a door, you choose the room to “build” (or blueprint, the name is a pun) and when you run out of moves, you call it a day and try again the next (in-game) day. It’s weird but it’s pretty chill. There’s one scene where you think there will be a jump scare, but it never happens (entering the Security Room).
Thanks for offering! Let’s see what you come up with!
I really enjoyed Hyper Light Drifter but not sure I would be into hardcore soulslikes. I do like roguelites though, I liked playing Wall word. Spelunky was also good.
— I got Trinity Fusion! Looks like something for me for sure! Thanks again!
If you like arcade twin-stick shoot-em-ups, Sektori is one of the best the genre has seen. Hard though: if one doesn’t know the genre, play Waves and Assault Android Cactus first.
I really love city building / management / medieval triangle but I already have many from these, would love to see more though. I also love trains and ships. I’m quite picky though, so don’t send me any if you think there aren’t games like these in your list. However depending on the situation, i can give some examples from my taste.
Anyway, hope people like your gifts and actually play them sometime, or at least give them a chance. \o/
Got “Airborne Kingdom”. While it looks like something I might enjoy, it actually surprised me because I wasn’t expecting something unusual. Kinda looks like Besieged, at least the aesthetics. Hopefully it will be fun for me.
All of the old scummVM adventure games; Sam and max hit the road, monkey island, day of the tentacle, etc
For something more cinematic I’d look at platinum games like Bayonetta, god of wars, mass effects, gears, half-lifes, dark souls
I would avoid something really puzzle heavy like professor Layton or tactical like civ or Stellaris I enjoy watching/listening to people play games but those usually can’t hold my interest unless I’m playing
Edit: a couple more recent titles to add are Pentiment and Kentucky route zero
