killamch89 Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 I'd say something like Rocket League. A fun, casual game you can easily get into. What's not to love about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 It actually depends on what I'm in the mood for but most times, it's going to be adventure games that I prefer to play when I want to relax and enjoy myself. The whole exploration part of the game offers soothing experience. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some pretty good viewpoints in-game if you really search for them. Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Football/games on PS. Most especially when I play it with friends, the atmosphere makes me forget whatever it could be that makes me stressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarik Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I have a lot of video games that I like to play when I want to relax. Some examples I can give are Minecraft, Cities Skylines, The Witcher 3, and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Very peaceful games, and they help my mind relax and just feel good after a hard day.

How do you find the Witcher 3 peaceful. Is it the exploration part of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how good those views are in the game, I wonder what it's going to look like in the new GTA VI with all the improved graphics when it finally comes out. Rockstar have invested heavily in the game. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowHammerYou Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a great game for relaxing. I need to get back to that so I can finish some projects I was working on. And then start some new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Baldur's Gate 3 have given a chance at relaxation since I started playing it. I used to go for it once in a while whenever I want to chill out and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Theft Auto has always been full of controversial stuff and they shouldn't stray far from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it in the trailer that we've all seen that prompts censorship and political correctness to be such a concern? That paired with the content that made it into GTAV makes me wonder whare that concern has come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the "outrage" to Stellar Blade - I'm just hoping they don't listen to the vocal minority and continue with what made them successful.

Look at the "outrage" to Stellar Blade - I'm just hoping they don't listen to the vocal minority and continue with what made them successful. Honestly, I've actually seen way more people piss and moan about the supposed backlash against the provocative character design in Stellar Blade than people actually complaining about the provocative character design in Stellar Blade itself, even amongst press articles. I'm sure if one tried to find it one would find somebody complaining about it, it is the internet after all, but I don't think it's been that big of a deal. It's certainly no reason to worry about censorship in GTA, an entirely different game series that has no relation to Stellar Blade in any way and is obviously catered to adults as well is being infamously provocative and controversial in concept. Not to mention that nothing in Stellar Blade has even changed as a result of this "backlash". In other words, nobody is taking away your tits and ass, and they couldn't if they wanted to, so calm the fuck down.
