What's your chill out game?

[Tristyn]

I'm very impatiently waiting for the new Animal Crossing.

Until then, I'm playing Dragon Quest Builders, Stardew Valley, Farm Together and The Sims 4.

I might just start playing New Leaf again, though, lol.

 

[Capryce]

My all-time favourite is World of Warcraft. I try not to get too addicted though, but once I start I can hardly stop I'v been playing for 12 years and I still can't get enough of it!

I play Stardew Valley to kill time and relax. My bf plays with me which makes it so much more enjoyable to me.

It is a great game, I even play it on my phone since they released it for Android

I really want to play Dragon Quest Builders. Since it's no longer PS4 exclusive, maybe there's hope for an eventual PC port. If not, I'm feeling more and more incentive to get a Switch.

Switch is great, portable TV adapter and 2nd set of chucks is great for mario cart on the go.

Everyone needs a Switch!

If you've got Twitch Prime through Amazon right now, a year's subscription to Switch Online is the newest loot.

Journey, Flower or Slime Rancher

Journey and Flower are great when I want to chill out with beautiful visuals and music

Slime Rancher is just cute and addictive and I can literally play for HOURS without realizing lol

I stopped playing during Pandaria and recently picked it up again. The plan was to just peek in, see what's changed, play around a little, then drop it again.

That was the plan.

It's been every day for three weeks now. Yesterday, I played six hours. I'm even having Warcraft dreams. This game is insidious.

Skyrim is my everything game, and it works especially well when I'm a lil stressed bb. My gaming life is basically scrolling through all the games I've got and have barely started, trying to decide what I should finish, then just going and creating a new Skyrim character instead.

It is a great game, I have played it for over 500 hours.

 

[CharlieCharma]

It depends. If I just need to play something mindless, probably smashbros. But if I'm having some high stress that needs the calming music and such, And Yet It Moves, Botanicula, FEZ, Faerie Solitaire, and Sonic Adventure 2.

 

[zippypinhead]

I've been brought back to Minecraft again with the recent 1.14 update. I never leave Minecraft for long, really. There's been a nice little coincidence where Youtube is closing down its failed "Youtube Gaming" experiment, and suddenly all these let's play channels that I'd forgotten I'd even been subscribed to are back on my feed. It's been fun to sit and play around on Minecraft while watching Minecraft videos by Paul Soares Jr. BDoubleO Builds, and Etho after a pretty long time. A nice way to chill, for sure.

 

[Clara_chan]

League of Legends

Does anyone else play?

 

[JazminJoy]

What's your go-to game to play when you're feeling stressed or anxious? Is it a classic you've loved forever that always brings back good memories, something that requires all your concentration and is a great distraction, or something else?

I got stressed out from school today and accidently lost 5 hours to starcraft But I love playing Abzu when I want the same effects as a meditation.

What about you guys?

I love Stardew Valley. I should play it more often, and finally marry Emily.

Harvest Moon all the way, baby! Looking to get SD Valley on the Switch, soon

If it's your first time playing, you're in for a real treat. It's like the old 16-bit Harvest Moon, but extra.

Wii games:

Just Dance 2020
Hip Hop Dance Experience
Michael Jackson The Experience

It's quite the workout, and I have to take another shower afterwards because I'm so sweaty. Lol.

 

[zippypinhead]

I bought a game called Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. It had been on my Steam wishlist for a while, and it's been on sale for a couple of weeks, so I took the shot. It's actually pretty cool. It does all the stuff open world sandboxes do these days -- exploration, collecting, crafting, farming, trading -- but there's no combat. You just chill out, and wander around, and I really like that. I wish more games did away with combat, and were just about seeing cool stuff and puttering around. Even Minecraft has been kicking my ass lately. The new Nether update snapshots make the Nether way more hostile.

I'm trying to make an effort to keep active during the world shut-in. So, the other day, I got Just Dance 2017 because it's the only one available on PC right now. I need to get some speakers for my laptop, though, because the built-in speakers are so weak, I can't hear the music. I'm seriously considering getting a Switch, and if I do, I'll be getting Just Dance 2020.

I love that "7 Rings" by Ariana Grande is on Just Dance 2020. Also, when you've played for a while, every once in a while a message will pop up informing you that you just unlocked an "extreme version" of such and such song...which means a more challenging dance routine.

I'm so glad I got those video games, and my son's Yamaha digital piano when I did, because the entertainment is much needed these days.

That sounds like really productive entertainment.

Y'know, I'm surprised I haven't mentioned Elder Scrolls games in this thread yet. Skyrim and Oblivion are huge on my chill-out roster. The cool thing for me about Oblivion especially is you can import Morrowind into its engine with the Morroblivion mod. I'm playing a character through both the main quests and expansions of both games right now. It's a ton of fun, and a great way to relax and escape my current anxieties.

 

[Sevrahn]

Dotaaaa

^ there is a BDSM joke somewhere for this given how difficult that game is

Was actually surprised at the number of Starcraft responses.

Personally I like Star Wars: Old Republic. Did a lot of ESO at launch but people eventually moved on from it and it isn't as much fun solo.
Was HUGE into Paragon before EPIC canned that project

 

[joseph6MM]

Maybe it would be weird, but I chill out while playing CS 1.6

 

[dashyxxx]

I LOVE just dance 2020. I was so excited when I saw the old songs so I can still jam out to ra ra rasputin lol

Stardew Valley is absolutely great for chilling out. Recently I started My Time in Portia and it's a lot of fun and sort of like it too.

I played skyrim forever ago so probably not one that I would pick up today but I loved riding around on horses and climbing mountains. Ive always wanted to try elder scrolls online, I always go back to WoW though.

 

[yetieater]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this one, but Spelunky is awesome.

Spelunky World

[Lilslothiee]

Right now it's Maneater, a shark game where you can just eat everything lol.

 

[Petsod]

My goto is Eurotrucker 2 and Stardew Valley.

 

[yummybrownfox]

OMG, I managed to order a new Nintendo Switch online (from Best Buy, thanks to that HotStock app that sends you alerts when an item is in stock) before anyone else could beat me to it! It's a miracle! I took a Lyft to Target the other day, and got there like 3 minutes after the store opened, and this elderly lady was already there at Electronics buying the ONE that they had.

 

[AlaskaBaked1]

I've always loved Mahjong , I find the game very unique and a great stress reliever.
