What is the most relaxing video game you've ever played?

I've been spending time in Flock and found it to be sublime

Little Kitty, Big City. I found it to be super fun and low stress. Also you can run around meowing at people :3
- That sounds great, thank you! And it's on Xbox Game Pass! Installing now...
  
  That's how I played it. It's also the first and only game I've gotten 100% achievements for lol

Stardew Valley. You can't die. Nothing is time critical. Just do what you want to do and explore everything. Grow vegetables.
- I know it's dumb but I personally find Stardew incredible stressful. The time limits on growing stuff/missing daily events combined with your energy ticking down makes me feel a lot of pressure to play correctly.
  
  You’re not dumb— this is a common take actually.
  Stardew Valley can get extremely stressful. You literally have to keep track of the entire town’s schedule as well as the time limits you mentioned.
  
  I know what you mean - but on the other hand, there is no way to lose. You grow your vegetables and they are bringing quite the profit margin. If you "die" in the dungeons, you just wake up at the start. Your crops can't fail. You can wait for years to finish some quests.
  
  Time game is functionally infinite. If you miss an event this year, that's fine it will be back next year.
  One of the few things that is permanent is Robin increasing her prices after year one.
- Indeed! You might be interested in !stardewvalley@lemm.ee

Apico, a game about breeding bees. Very calming in the way that it's almost impossible to fail. Unlike even stardew valley there are no obligations or timed events you have to deal with.

A Short Hike is lovely just wish it lasted longer. Other than that probably Minecraft.

Surprised to be the first to mention Journey

Alba. It's about a young girl visiting her grandparents on the island they live on and helping the animals. It's made for children, but that made it non stressful to play.

Animal Crossing New Horizons and Hoa.

PowerWash Simulator is the epitome of chill and satisfaction.

Little Kitty Big City comes to mind

I've fallen asleep playing Vampire Survivor more than once. Says more about my levels of tiredness than the relaxing qualities of the game though.
- Yes, it's definitely not the first one that comes to mind in this category 😄

Settlers II

Carto, heart star, catbird, monument valley - love em
