So, what kind of games do you like to play to sort of zone out? Relax, switch off your brain (at least to a certain degree), and just go into something of a zen state of chill out?
For me, lately it's been 2 games:
Sheltered and Planetbase
Both of these games are similar in their concept, while vastly different in their theme.
Both are a slow, methodical survival/build game, but one is post-apocalyptic, the other is a colony base builder on a remote alien planet.
I find both of these games to be very soothing to play. While they do have their tense moments, when something dangerous happens, for the most part, they are games where you take a slow, steady, measured approach to gathering resources, and building facilities to help your people be self-sufficient. In the early game, it's much more tense, as you haven't established everything fully, so small hiccups can lead to disaster. But once you get a decent setup going, as long as you are patient, you can safely develop your living area to a self sustaining, thriving habitat.
Plus the music for both of them are very zentastic. Ambient space sounds or nature sounds, that just help the time flow by as you help make sure your people don't die.
So what games do you play to relax and unwind with?
