What are your "cool down" games

[Michel Henzel]

Minecraft or OpenTTD

They always help me relax, just kick back and build stuff while sipping a cup of tea.

It used to be Tomodachi Life, and Animal Crossing New Leaf, but life's hectic, and I don't feel like I can devote the time those games deserve, though Tomodachi life doesn't really track anything but how long it takes you to visit,I still feel somewhat overwhelmed by the lack of time to visit all the Tomodachis, and junk.

Project X-zone is kinda it now. Basically any game I can get away with playing on my 3ds while I'm on the go.

Back when I had time to game, it was Bethesda games, bugs be damned. Wandering the wastes of New Vegas going after fiend spawns, and sniping them, and stuff. I liked doing that.

Basically any game I play is for relaxing, and most games I play have no PvP element coz few people relax me.

Depends on what I have around, really.

For my PC...
-Binding of Isaac/Rebirth are good focus-trance-inducing games that actually settle me down, or at least give me something else to be mad about
-HL2 when I'm in the mood to be shooty
-I guess I'm another joker who likes to chill out with Dark Souls; mostly the Burg, Anor Londo, and Demon Ruins areas because for some reason I don't find them difficult or sressful

And if I have my consoles around...
-Left 4 Dead co-op with my dad is a near-mindless exercise in shooty
-Metroid Prime is my ultimate feel-good game, hands down
-Any Zelda game, usually OOT or Twilight Princess

Diablo 3

Hearthstone

Marvel Puzzle Quest

Advanced Wars 2

Rock Band (drums): Took a long time but the game is pretty stress free and relaxing to play even on songs that are beyond my abilities.

With exception of Rock Band...it's normally a game I play while multitasking. It's also by FAR my favorite type of gaming these days. It's very hard to get hooked on a game that demands full attention. I was hoping DA: Inquisition would but nope. I'm still lacking the motivation to play and I refuse to play it like I would Diablo 3 or Hearthstone ignoring the plot.

 

[The Madman]

Oooooo... Do you play it with any mods?

Used to, but these days I mostly just stick to the usual stuff. Did download a ton of map-packs though, still a couple levels I haven't even gotten around to trying yet because there are so many.

I would normally fire up Minecraft, though haven't for quite awhile now. Otherwise, I might go in a more chill driving game, or one of the emulators that I know really well and bash on some old arcade classics. Stuff like the older street fighters which I can play end-to-end with my eyes closed, or beat-em-ups like Alien Vs. Predator, Streets of Rage, some Neo Geo classics, stuff like that.

Another one would be Katamari Forever, that's just the most chilled out, trippy game ever, and good with friends (even non-gamers) too!

Have you ever tried Ballistic Weapons?
