StaceyPowers Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Are there any games you find relaxing, but probably weren’t intended to be? BioShock falls into that territory for me, but that’s probably because I get so caught up in exploring all the visual details of the environments that I forget to worry about dying.

Scorpion Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Games like "Animal Crossing" or "Stardew Valley" are relaxing, but some players find them stressful due to deadlines or in-game challenges. Their calming visuals and slow pace can ironically create pressure, turning a peaceful experience into an unexpectedly tense or demanding one.

Bizdustry Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Some action games can actually be really calming if you play them slowly. Surprising moments in scary games might make you laugh instead of feel scared. Even puzzle games can become oddly relaxing when you focus on solving them at your own pace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
