I have several games for a lazy evening on the sofa, so it depends on the mood.
I hoard virtual cars, tanks and ships, so I pick CSR2 when I want to do an event there (daily boring grinding tasks are automated). When I want to shoot I either junp in World of Tanks Blitz or World of Warships Blitz.
When in a mood where I want to just tap around, I dust off Hay Day.
Gershwin Impact has been on the tablet, but after a few attempts to play it, it's removed again. Looks nice, but not my style, yet.
I usually listen to music and play driving games like Forza Horizon, BeamNG, or Dirt.
Also roguelike games like Deadly Days.
BeamNG
Car/truck driving simulator with the best crash physics you'll ever see. Great to just drive, off-rod, modify cars, race or just smash cars up. The game is only limited by your imagination.
Same here. I've got almost 300 hours in beamng
I play Tibia. It's an old 2d MMORPG with endless grinding. Loads of quests and a playerbase where the average age is like 28.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on here who plays Hollow Knight. When I want to chill, I like to start a new game and just go through the early-mid game exploration phase. No pressure, skip bosses if I feel like it. Just run around and enjoy the atmosphere and music. Love it.
Honestly, some visual novels like Ace attorney, Katawa shoujo, Steins Gate, Clannad are very chill.
Genshin Impact has been my comfort game the last 2 years
Pokemon Fire Red or Dark Souls
C&C Generals World Builder. I just make maps while I'm in discord.
It's stimulating enough that it keeps my mind from wandering from a conversation, but brainless enough to be engaged in the conversation.
I'm also partial to Minecraft. Just decorate a little section then log off until tomorrow
Im going to hijack op post.
Im looking for game to chill just like OP described, but im looking for something with online multiplayer. Ideally something like a builder like minecraft or no man sky, where I can just connect and find randomly people and help them build shit. I dont want to have to search for specific servers to interact with people, something that would randomly put me in worlds with other people.
Creeper world 4. Especially the community made play as creep levels.
Haven't played CW4 yet but 1 & 3 are awesome chillout games.
Descenders (oddly satisfying mountain biking game)
Life is Strange was a good one to chill and enjoy the unfolding of events (any of them are good. The 1st and Colors were my favorites)
Grand Turismo I've been on. Never really been a racing fan but for a few races I'm actually relaxed and enjoying myself.
Descenders is such a fun game! I love doing suicide trick jumps into the finish area so the level successfully ends with my rider crashing through the barriers in the background
Also some great tunes. And the crazy obstacle course levels are a blast
These days it's Baldurs Gate 3 but before that, it's Grimdawn for ARPG itch or Stardew valley if I just want to turn a game on and afk alot. (Sometimes that's Grimdawn too)
Earth Defense Force or Creeper World 3
Spend hours downloading / messing with proton / configuring, and then play for 15 minutes...
At this point I'm almost convinced I just like the setup process.
Otherwise probably quake.
Bloons td6 is pretty cool and laid back.
Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, My Time at Portia, Cozy Grove or Good Pizza, Great Pizza!
