I know we usually don't talk video games here, but I thought discussing relaxing games might still be nice

Orbit. You're just trying to achieve and maintain a stable orbit. I would play it one-handed while rocking my infants back to sleep. So peaceful.

call of duty

I always loved Canaster for its chill. But the most relaxing was actually Mers (a Pen and Paper Game).

Boccia is relaxed as well, but you have to remember the balls.

Littlewood, World End Diner, Tales of Autumn and Stardew Valley.

Terraria's pretty chill, just don't use any life crystals, get at least three NPCs asap (you start with the guide; the dye trader, merchant, and demolitionist are probably the next easiest to get), and don't leave the town at night

Lucid, puzzle match kinda game.

The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games have a soothing vibe to them.

Hexologic. Make sure to play with the music on too.

Rock Band 4/Rivals is my zen time. Nothing like listening to music I like while rhythmically clicking plastic buttons.

Lake. Just driving around delivering mail and parcels and communicating with the residents, whilst listening to the soundtrack is so soothing.

Bastion was really relaxing for me but I think that had more to do with the context of when I played it vs. the actual game. It's still a very slow and calming game regardless

I feel like I've been recommending this game a lot lately, but: A Short Hike.
