So many games are intense and filled with action. This is all fine and dandy, but sometimes we just want to relax and unwind. I've been working a lot lately with a lot on my mind and I just want to veg out with something relaxing (can be cute.. we all need innocence once in a while).
What games do you recommend for unwinding?
Personally I find Civilisation 5 quite relaxing.
I usually listen to music and play Minecraft.
Waking Mars. It's is as fast paced as you want it to be, and one of the few games out there that pulls off being challenging without ever being frustrating. Also, it completely eschews combat, which I found refreshing.
i would recommend Dear Esther,i played on a friend´s house and i found it to be pretty relaxing
Don't starve isn't half bad, usually my relaxing game is skyrim actually haha.
I guess a grand strategy game like Civ 5 and Crusader Kings 2 are pretty good as a relaxing game. And one interesting choice would also be Dark Souls PVP.
You must be damned good at Skyrim lol. Then again I do play on legendary so that may be a factor.
wait how does that make me good? I wouldn't consider myself bad, but I wouldn't be up there with the best either.
civ 5, really any RTS.... I actually play games to relax in general....
Well it's just that quite alot of the time I find dungeon-crawling and spelunking quite frustrating, especially since in Skyrim you pretty much NEED a follower if you're gonna play it on legendary, and Skyrim's follower system is annoying at best.
Unless you're saying you just ride around and talk to people or scavenge, which I actually sometimes do as well.
"Tropico 4" with god mode on, and "Tiny and Big: Grampa's Leftovers" (a fun little indie game that you can slice and dice anything)

I'm usually too much of a miner&combat to do this right but, just building coupled with some relaxing music in the background is Awesome (atleast for me). I've lost a whole day to this actually.
Note: I prefer single player. Less Multiplayer interactions and possibly stress.
I've been playing the game The Swapper lately. Its very smooth and relaxing and the story is very intriguing.
I use to play minecraft while listening to music but recently have been playing civilization while executing jams. I have found this is relaxing until later levels where each turn is 20 - 30 moves long and a bit nerve racking. I really enjoy a good TD game while unwinding GemCraft is awesome. I really haven't found any downloadable tower defence games I really enjoy (Open to suggestions).

OMG! i forgot about GC! I played the hell out of that game. It go to the point where it was just repetition though. (lvl 2551 here)
Torchlight II and Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion are the games I tend to relax with.
I've just had a look through my libary and these are the ones that stand out.
GTA: San Andreas, g
