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.
A short hike.
Paper Mario, Jet Set Radio Future, Oblivion, Valley.

Is Jet Set Radio Future the same as the regular Jet Set Radio? Always wanted to play it, but I didn’t had the time. I think it’s also pretty short? I should play it asap!
Yes and no.
It’s inline skating and grafitti and even some of the same characters, but it’s a big sprawling semi-open world with a whole bunch of things to do and find. And it has one of the best soundtracks ever.
It’s sort of short. Since there are so many things to find and unlock and places to explore, the first time through it will likely take a while, but once you learn where everything is, it’s pretty short.
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. :/
Katamari Damacy
Anything souls, factorio, subnautica, cities skylines 1, humanity, journey, og doom.
Roller coaster tycoon
Balatro and New Super Mario Bros.
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:
Valheim
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy Tactics
Shadowrun Returns
River City Ransom
Altered Beast
To a lesser extent:
Gauntlet
Rampage
Morrowind, Stardew Valley, Fallout 4
Subnautica, Astroneer, and Powerwash Simulator
I love Powerwash Simulator. As an achievement hunter I just wish those at-best-mediocre DLCs wouldn’t cost so much. :/
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.
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.
My issue is that the game is supposed to take like 10-15 hours, and I was at like 30 hours and so lost. I ended up feeling like an idiot and eventually lost interest.
I need to restart sometime…
If you sunk that much time into it, it’s at least worth watching someone play it on YouTube. You’ll get the same point.
