StaceyPowers Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Are there any games or levels you would say are both relaxing and tense at the same time? That is how I feel about Echoes of the Eye in Outer Wilds. The dreamworld on the ship in that DLC is beautiful and relaxing for the most part. But having to sneak around in the dark and deal with the jump scares is anxiety-inducing.

Scorpion Posted Tuesday at 01:17 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:17 PM Yes, games like "Journey" or "Abzû" are perfect examples. They’re calming and beautiful, yet moments of tension arise during challenging sections or emotional storytelling. It’s a unique blend that keeps you immersed, feeling both relaxed and on edge simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted Tuesday at 11:13 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:13 PM The forest exploration in Firewatch felt incredibly peaceful during daytime wandering, but those mysterious elements and nighttime sequences created an underlying tension that never fully disappeared.
