I got reeeeallllly baked once and played NMS with a couple friends for the first time. I got lost/stuck in a dark cave for a solid 20 minutes.
It was hilarious and we still bring it up once in awhile.
10/10 would recommend.
+1 to Tetris Effect. Play it with some good audio too, they really went hard with it. NMS is always a blast.
I refer to NMS as 'Chillin in Space' I find it to be the perfect game.
on that social media site we don't talk about there was an entire community called No Man's High. That's how great it is when you're torched.
Tetris Effect. Literally transports you to another world
GRIS. An absolutely gorgeous game with some relatively easy platforming and puzzles. It was published by Devolver Digital.
If you are lightly toasted ECHO can be a lot of fun. Great visuals and plenty of ways to cheese your way around puzzles.
Cloud Punk is a super chill cyberpunk taxi game. I don't think I ever felt stressed playing it.
Discovered Cloud Punk only recently and I completely agree - lovely little game. Gameplay itself is pretty chill and I really enjoyed the characters and storytelling. I feel like too many cyberpunk games are like "look at this rotten, desolate society based on greed and oppression" only to then go "fuck yeah, let's make it to the top of that pyramid of injustice" instead of questioning it.
I hope the developers can somehow keep that storytelling aspect in the upcoming sequel which looks much broader in scope, like a life sim set in the city of Nivalis.
For me it's Skyrim but finally it's a game you're so familiar with that you don't need any motor skills besides your muscle memory.
Anti-chamber
super hot would probably be fun
Sayonara wild hearts
Rez: Infinite
Rabbid's go home on wii. It's one of the better "turn off your brain and relax" games
Dorfromantic: chill satistying game about building a landscape out of tiles, and matching biomes/rivers to get more points.
Minecraft on peaceful: I like to do weird redstone projects in creative too.
Titanfall 2/old school shooters: its weird but I blast music and play stuff that I can do mindlessly. And for me that's deathmatch style shooters, where there's no objective or anything, the respawn time is short, and you just run aroind blasting stuff.
Open world games with time wasting sidequests: So most assassins creed games, corrupted zones/trials in HZD, wandering skyrim, etc.
Edit: forgot, Mario Kart, its just fun and silly and I don't mind just doing dumb shit and coming in last, so long as I hit koopa troopa with all the red shells because its dumb and I'm attacking him with his own brethren!
Stardew Valley. Terraria.
Other people have given you recommendations, I want to give you my commendation on the first time I have heard someone describe easy to play games in this manner.
I reckon you would have aced my school's internal exams back in the day where they were more concerned with the size of the content.
Dave the diver. Definitely Dave the diver.
Mini Metro and Mini Motorways are pretty chill.
Both Katamari REROLL games.
Pretty much every Humongous Entertainment game.
DREDGE and WORLD OF HORROR if you want an exercise in slow-paced creepy bullshit tolerance.
Jet Set Radio is probably another solid choice, just for the music and aesthetic.
Beat Hazard for vibing to your music and some crazy flashy visuals. 2 has support for a bunch of major music streaming platforms, including YouTube.
Also like any porn game you can get down with.
I highly encourage Dome Keeper, it hit me similarly to Vampire Survivors, but with just a bit more gameplay variety, once you learn the basics the back and forth between mining and defending is a rather enjoyable rhythm. And it plays like it was made for the Deck.
Are you baking yourself some flans or something? How can a person bake themselves?
single player
Vector - retrowave Hoover craft going for distance
DooM(1993 & 2 ) get some mods and go wild
Sonic mania
Multiplayer - sometimes you get high with friends
Golf with friends
VR chat
Both good together or separate
Halo reach fire fight - set up the game mode before hand but infinite ammo, random weapons, top speed and jump and just run and gun
Minecraft
Pixel Junk Eden
Aimlab or real guitar ftw
