UndeadSlayer, do games w Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?

Some good games I recommend are Alto’s Adventure / Odyssey, any bejeweled game, Cell to Singularity, Idle Slayer, Monument Valley, Reigns, Sky Force Reloaded, and Stick Fight Shadow Warrior. Hopefully that’s enough!

Reigns is so stressful, do not want! What are you trying to do, I’m spiraling just being reminded!

I recently upgraded my XBox 360 Wireless controller and got the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. Hall Effect Sensors trigger guqrd. Picked it up for und er 50 bucks on Aliexpress. They are available on Amazon US, but not in Europe.

PS5 controller. Bought a broken one to fix and replace my xBox 360 controller I’d been using and it feels so much better. The trackpad is also useful for games with partial controller support like My Summer Car.

I always thought the GameCube controller was ridiculously comfortable and ergonomic, so that’s my choice. The C stick might not be for everyone though.

Any Dreamcast fans here? Those controllers had similar ergonomics in the hand, although the lack of a second analog stick was a pretty big drawback in hindsight.

Honestly the 2nd analog stick I didn’t mind too much because the face-buttons made a decent D-pad for the tiny handful of shooters on the DC. The bigger flaw was the lack of shoulder-buttons.

Also that putting a screen into a controller has always been a solution looking for a problem. It was on the DC, it was on the Wii-U, and there’s a good reason they abandoned the idea to put a screen on the PS4 touchpad controller.

Mindustry is amazing, and free somehow

Definitely not casual or low stress, especially as you progress through the planet, but a great game nonetheless

Sylvartas,

Whoops, yeah I skimmed over that part

PC game for decades with a recent (5 years?) Switch purchase. I was never a fan of controllers and still aren’t for anything to do with aiming, but the Switch Pro Controller impressed me as a real nice piece of hardware. Battery life is phenomenal too.

Keyboard and mouse… but the Steam Controller is cool too.

Other than that, any PS clone. The long thin horns fit my hands better than others.

Splatoon is pretty fun

I really like Usagi Shima. There is not much gameplay, but it’s a nice game to just relax for a few minutes. Also “Really Bad Chess” is a nice twist on chess. :D

PS2

  • best d-pad ever made
  • comfortable to my big hands without being uncomfortable to friends’ regular-sized hands
  • pressure sensitivity all over the place, even if that did get underutilized
  • versatile design that’s equally comfortable to use for 2D and 3D games and doesn’t specifically favor a small number of genres
  • smooth, strong, and yet quiet rumble
  • good heft
  • uses a cord so no fucking around with batteries
  • sensibly named and located Start and Select buttons (Everyone‘s been dropping the ball on that front, lately. Sony most of all.)

Retro-style: DUSK, Prodeus, Serious Sam

More modern: Wolfenstein - The New Colossus, Doom 2016, BioShock 1 and 2

Spooky, “ghost train”: Doom³

Exploration oriented: Metroid Prime (and 4 is coming up!), Powerslave Exhumed

My recommendation l is going back to the basics: chess, especially lichess.org

You can choose a mode however you want, and it may or may not be stressful. Multiplayer with friends or random online people, choose a time between 30 seconds for a game and infinity to move.

If you don’t want to play right now, you can solve tactical exercises.

Blooms TD 6 - fun tower defense game with solid progression and everything can be earned by playing what I think is a reasonable amount.

PlexSheep,

BTD5 too. This is a very good recommendation.

Manos,

I’ll second Pixel Dungeon. It’s the only one I’ve played, but it perfectly fits OP’s reqs.

kevindqc, (edited )

The first link says not found :( maybe not available in Canada? Seems this one is a good replacement, will try it out? play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shatter…

Other ones say it was made for an old version of Android or incompatible, and can’t be downloaded (I have a pixel 5 with android 14)

Strayce,

Short answer: yes.

Shattered Pixel dungeon is based on pixel dungeon, adds a bunch of new stuff and is reasonably actively developed.
