What game do you play to just chill? (discuss.online)

Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.

In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

Why use acronyms when people are looking for suggestions? What did you do with the 30 seconds you saved by typing acronyms instead of just typing out the name?

Are you not familiar with Animal Crossing New Horizons and Tears of the Kingdom?

I had to look up Animal Crossing by the acronym. But it's not just about ME, or YOU. You're attempting to HELP someone, why would you post something that they then have to go look up? Just type out the words for fucks sake.

I already forgot about you. IDGAF about you. I don't think about you. I simply don't care.
