Apart from Ico, i have no idea. What about turning off the console and go for a walk in the park? Thats calming.
Suggestions for "calm" games?

I have played the first Prof. Layton game, very interesting and fun, but I failed to finish it because I got stuck at the very last set of puzzles. That left me with a slightly bitter taste, and also the music almost drove me crazy after some point. lol Do you think I should try the sequels? I mean, are they somehow improved?
I have it turned off for weeks, the question is: should I turn it on, or go for that walk in the park.SonOfVoorhees said:
Well, there's not really much one can do to alter the formula, so each game is quite similar, gameplay-wise (i.e. lots of running around and being handed puzzles by people who really should have better things to do). I would argue that the story has improved with each iteration, though, and I certainly felt more driven to actually solve the puzzles because I wanted to see how the story unfolded in later games (despite it getting more and more ridiculous each time). The 4th game, I didn't like so much, but I doubt you'd jump straight to that anyway, so no worries.Rheinmetall said:
And yes, the music can get quite irritating after a while. Although you shouldn't trust the opinion of the man who is currently listening to the main theme on repeat.
There's some really good suggestions here. Journey really makes me wish I had a PS3.
I know I sound like a scratched record when I say this but I suggest Braid. Really lovely atmosphere to that game. The music is serene. It's well worth a look.
I think I'll throw in something a bit more obscure too, just for the sake of it. Recently I've been reminded of a game I have called Switchball. It's a cool little game where you control a marble which can transform in to other marbles which have various properties (heavy, light or magnetic) with which you solve environmental puzzles and get to the end of a stage. It's really well designed and the visuals are very nice. It's got a very rich visual style. There's a cool range of different environments too.

This. Seriously, it's like meditation in a disc. It's amazing. You just sit there and *drift away.*Zhukov said:
Quantum Conundrum is pretty relaxing, cheerful music/bright colours and good fun too. Also can't speak for everyone but for me nothing is more relaxing than playing the Sims 3
I have been poorly lately and my mate was trying to play Left for Dead 2 with me. I was exhausted lol. I know that feel bro. Sometimes you just need to chill out :3

Dark Souls... Haha, nah I'm just kidding.
Maybe Minecraft if you play on peaceful mode. -Or one of the Lego games.

Yes I have looked the catalog of games but I was a bit confused. All games have excellent refferences even the most obscure ones. Everybody loves everything in this site; this isn't very illuminating for a buyer if you know what I mean. So far I have bought Planescape Torment, Alone in the Dark 1-3 and Tomb Raider 1-3 (for the sake of nostalgia, I already have played all three countless times).kyogen said:
Syberia 1-2: I have this game somewhere in the house... Damn, I need to find those disks! Thanks for reminding me of this game. That would be ideal.

I know exactly what you mean. I have put over than 200 hours into this game...
That's what I was referring to...bobfish92 said:

Me too, 300+ hours over 8 character builds.Rheinmetall said:
It's so satisfying getting to Gwyn and killing him with all of them.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Sorry. People generally only write a user review on GOG if they like a game. It's helpful if you want to know why people like a certain game because if the reasons happen to be things you hate, then you know to stay away.Rheinmetall said:
Download the anime "Aria the animation", watch and a few hours later marvel at your state of relaxation.
No, actually Dark Souls is fine, I spent so much time in this game and I have a couple of overpowered Thieve-Mage characters, so it shouldn't be so much intense. That "Knight's honour" trophy and the Knight Solaire's covenant is a couple of unfinished jobs that I have left and I would like to finish some time in the future.Flailing Escapist said:
