    What do you play when you need to relax and wind down? :) What games calm you down?

    Pokemon. (not competitively, but in game) cute and doesn't require tons of thinking.

    I tend to play Stellaris when I want to forget everything else and just chill; it can get pretty intense but since it is possible to pause and reload savegames at any time it is quite forgiving and not stressful ^^

    I was going to say Minecraft but playing Minecraft with members of PC was actually one of the most stressful experiences of my entire life so maybe not

    ACNH is a good shout, I'm also fond of open world games like RDR2 to just wander around and relax in

  • I mostly default to Pokemon for a relaxing game, but I'm finding Genshin is pretty good for that too - at least just doing dailies and stuff. Honestly though, the ultimate game for relaxation in probably Journey. I just don't break that one out often cause I have it on my old PS3 and that spends most of its time sitting in a cupboard.
