Like, games that you have played through multiple times, but you still like to replay them from time to time because you can just relax and have a good time without too much hassle.
For me some are Dark Souls 1&2 and Borderlands 1, I can play them without too much thoughts about what I’m doing, but still be focused enough so no bad thoughts appear.
Webfishing, Sword of the Sea, and PO3 modded Minecraft.
Webfishing with other people, like it’s a chatroom - or just solo? I like the game solo, so I tried to talk to other people and get more social, but it always felt like they just wanted to be with their own. :/ Probably just because I’m too antisocial or uninteresting or something, but after some hours of trying to get to talk to someone I got literally 0 people to talk to…
GTA 4 and cyberpunk 2077 for me. I’ve played through both of these games so many times I’ve lost count. I don’t quite know what draws me to these two games but whenever I feel like shit playing one of these games just takes my mind off things
Currently trying to get 100% on GTA4. It’s such a great story-game, but I’m not a big fan of the realism-part. Also, there seems to be soo much missing in comparison to GTA:SA. Still, having a great time and I’m hyped af for the DLCs. Only have to finish the monster jumps and doves. c:
I’m perhaps the outlier in that I felt like San Andreas felt like they’d thrown shit at the wall to see what would stick. Most of the extra mechanics didn’t land for me at all and I was pleased to see them gone.
Ditto on Cyberpunk. I think the only games I have more hours played on are EQ, TF2, and Rogue Legacy 2.
The Witcher 1. It’s been a while since I’ve replayed it, but I know it like the back of my hand. Just thinking about the first chapter - gathering some White Myrtle accompanied by that lovely soundtrack - calms me down.
Valheim
Valheim.
I spin it up every now and then just to go sailing and build some stuff. I would play more often, but pretty much all of the people I used to play with moved on to D4, or just lost interest I think.
Valheim is a great one. I personally have a hatred against those ore-farming stuff, but everything else is just soo much fun and chill.
And I feel ya with D4, most of my friends left for D3 seasons and D4 stuff, so I’m sitting here alone, thinking about what to do. :/
Dark souls 1 & 2 doesnt sound too relaxing :D Mmm Probably Cyberpunk, because of the world they created, fun to hang in. And the newer persona games 3-5 as its just fun characters to hang out with.
DS1&2 are pretty relaxing ones you have like 2 playthroughs. Especially DS1, it’s a really short game. :D I’d love to check out Persona, but I have to start with the first game. Same for me in music, I’d have to start with the first album, I’m probably just a weirdo. :D
Morrowind, Stardew Valley, Fallout 4
Dungeon keeper has been a go to fix for many years. I usually play through the base game campaign at least once a year. Just peak comfy gaming for me.
- A Good Snowman is Hard to Build
- Alba: A Wildlife Adventure
- Epiphany City
- Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor
- Among Trees
Doom and DoomII. I’ve been playing those for 30 years. It’s like meditation I love 'em.
Bloodborne or whatever soulslike I’m feeling at the moment. Fired up DS3 the other day after a couple o weeks with little to no gaming because I wanted something predictable and chill.

I was recently reminded of Shining in the Darkness for the Mega Drive and got super nostalgic. I might have to play that again.
The same thing recently happened to me with Descent 3. I’d never played Descent 1 or 2, so I figured if I was going to replay Descent 3, I ought to play the other two first, so I’m currently working my way through Descent 1.
But more to the heart of your question:
- Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force
- SimCopter (super buggy, but fun none-the-less.)
- OpenTTD
- Mindustry
- Luanti
If I recall correctly, Descent 3 was made by another developer team and it was quite a different game. But Descent 1 and 2 are favorites of mine. Some of the original developers made Overload. Try it, if you haven’t already.
Cozy Caravan
Ff14
Stardew
Okami
Harvesrt moon/story of season
Super Tux Kart. Saved my life when I had nothing else but suicidal thoughts.
I feel ya, for me it was Terraria in those times. Since currently everything sucks, I might give it a shot(again). <3 Thank you. :3
The important word is “currently”. Hang in there, I hope it’ll suck less soon!
Hard Space: Shipbreaker
It’s nigh meditative.
