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.
Subnautica on Creative Mode. It’s like a SCUBA vacation where i can build my own resort.
Katamari Damacy
A short hike.
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. :/
Roller coaster tycoon
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy Tactics
Shadowrun Returns
River City Ransom
Altered Beast
To a lesser extent:
Gauntlet
Rampage
I think for me it’s usually an old 3d platformer or something, rayman 2 & 3, but i also like the ps2/3 ratchet & clank games. I replayed those a ton as a kid, and as an adult i still like to boot them up every now and then.
Valheim
The Outer Wilds.
Just makes me weep typing that.
This is still sitting in my “to play” bin, I really need to get to it.
It’ll throw you through a loop at first, but stick with it and don’t look up any spoilers or cheat guides. It’s my all time favorite game, and I’ve been playing games since I had an Atari 2600.
Anything souls, factorio, subnautica, cities skylines 1, humanity, journey, og doom.
I play the Uncharted series over and over again.
I’m always down for another Slay The Spire run.
Terraria the goat.
For quite some time was Chrono Trigger, I played almost every year.
I also like to play some Bethesda’s games while listening podcasts
I just finished my first Terraria-playthrough on the hardest difficulty as mage, and I’m still chilling in the midgame in my highest-difficulty melee playthrough. I wanted to also say “Terraria”, but I kinda stopped playing for many years. It’s definitely still my number 1 game that you HAVE to play on Steam, or else you’re… well, a stinky non-Terrarian! c:
Morrowind, Stardew Valley, Fallout 4
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.
