Chilled out games (PS4)

ak22 · 28 Dec 2018 at 19:54

Completed Rime last night so i'm looking for more games with relaxing vibe, I have already completed Journey and Firewatch. I have currently have The witness & Abuz to play through next.

NMS? It can be as relaxing as you want it to be like playing on creative mode and it's huge now, as in lots of content.

I did download it again today but for reason I couldn't get back into it, maybe I need to start over again and learn all the new stuff I haven't played it since lats year.

Gravity Rush 1&2. Chilled as hell (lol), cool concept, nice music, great setting and a very likeable protagonist

Also, more of a game than Journey or Abzu (both great but more like short artistic experiments).

Edith finch is fantastic, but only like 2-3 hours tops. Similar vein to firewatch

Rez gets my vote as does Lumines

Creative mode has enemys still? I find it quite confusing rather than relaxing.

Not sure as I've never played it, I assumed not otherwise probably wouldn't have mentioned it. If you can't die I guess that counts

I don't mind enemies but coming back to this after a year is confusing it felt like the biggest waste of time, farming fest, bore i have ever played....I deleted it never to be touched again...

This^^ didn't even cross my mind!

Great game for just relaxing and playing at your own pace. I ruined it for myself by trying to do as much as I could in the shortest time. My partner just took it as it came and she loved it. 120 hours in and she's pretty much finished but still hops on to just farm for no real reason

I have an autistic son who very much enjoys these types of games. Some of the main ones:

Hohokum (his first 'love'!)
Journey/Abzu/The Witness (as per OP)
Flower
Everything
Fe
Aer: Memories of Old
Lego Worlds
Grow Up
Gone Home
Unravel 1&2
Yokus Island Express
No Mans Sky
Cities Skylines (with unlimited budget!)
Talos Principle
Yonder: Cloud Catcher Chronicles
Bridge Constructor
Loco Roco
Tearaway Unfolded
Rime
Surviving Mars
Koi
Beyond Eyes
Snake Pass
Dreams (beta)

I have a few more myself that aren't his cup of tea or aren't suitable:

Absolute Drift (can be quite relaxing at times...)
How we Soar (VR)
What Remains of Edith Finch
Life is Strange
Limbo
Everyone's Gone to the Rapture
Firewatch
Golf Club
Pure Pool
Doesn't really count here but also Euro Truck Simulator on PC!
