welcome to watchmojo.com and she’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
relaxing video games sagar tway aboard
the tee now huh huh
but as list we take a look at the games
with the most laid-back gameplay
soothing music and generally tranquil
atmosphere don’t expect any rage
inducing moments from these titles
they’re the sorts of games you can
really unwind with
number 10 minecraft on peaceful load
evading creepers and spiders all night
in survival mode can be pretty stressful
but there is a solution
peaceful difficulty this prevents any
hostile mobs from spawning automatically
regenerates health and never depletes
your hunger all the emphasis is now on
exploring and creation as you are a god
in your sparsely populated blocky open
world
dig a series of underground tunnels
build a house on a river or just let
your mind wander as the minimalist
soundtrack plays quietly in the
background nothing’s more soothing than
just popping blocks all day and night
number nine Africa
you might hear a lot about the inner
peace derived from being one with nature
but it’s not very often you get to
experience that in a video game this
photography simulator transports you to
the African savannah for a safari where
you sneak around the bushes to get the
best angle on a wallowing hippo or a
herd of elephants without scaring them
off this is no half-baked sim either the
majestic score punctuates the enormous
sweeping landscape as you quietly
observe the natural world simply
existing around you there is the
occasional cheetah attack to get your
teeth in for a smidgen of action but
don’t expect too much else
number eight viscera cleanup detail ever
wonder who cleans up after the carnage
in your favorite game wonder no more as
you become the janitor charged with
cleaning up blood bullet casings bunnies
and other miscellaneous biomatter left
by some fire fight or other disaster
with no time limit you can take as long
as you like to purge every bit of filth
out of every nook and cranny utterly
satisfying your OCD without ever needing
to get your hands actually dirty
cleaning a house has proved to have
therapeutic benefits and this game works
in the same way by strategically
cleaning your virtual garbage you clear
out the clutter of your mind
number seven Proteus
if you’re the sort of gamer that needs
constant direction and something to
shoot at the end this isn’t for you
deliberately designed to be a nonviolent
alternative to the scores of
first-person shooters and role-playing
games on the market you explore a
procedurally generated pixel art island
with no instructions whatsoever if you
find yourself getting lost either
literally or metaphorically in the game
then that’s Proteus doing its job it’s
an audio-visual experience one that will
trigger an emotional reaction you may
not even know you’re having until you’ve
completed your musically meditative
journey number six endless ocean
it’s good to take a break from the
hullabaloo of everyday life sometimes
and nowhere is better than the seabed
for a quiet getaway the appropriately
minimal soundtrack in this scuba diving
sim never disturbs the near silence only
ever complementing the serene underwater
existence you’ve become a small part of
the motion tracking of the Wii Remote is
actually a perfect way to guide your
diver around the stunning coral reefs
and sunken wrecks as you search for
treasure document rare marine life and
train a dolphin to swim with you true to
the super friendly nature of the game
even the Sharks won’t try to hurt you
here number five journey
the latest creation from indie developer
that game company a studio known for its
emotionally evocative games will move
you even more than its predecessors flow
and flower your ethereal adventure will
take you through deserts ruins and
mountains all visually astounding and
supported by a dynamic soundtrack that
responds to player actions
this is all done alongside online
strangers but you have no obligation to
help your fellow player there is no
reward for doing so you do it solely for
pure video game companionship even if
you’re playing on your own you can relax
as you’re robed character glides and
sways elegantly over the ground making
for one of the smoothest experiences
you’ll have in a game
number four stardew valley the character
you play here has turned to farming to
escape the stresses of office life and
you can do exactly the same thing in
this simulator inspired by the Harvest
Moon series
there’s no deadlines no paperwork to
file only tending to your 16-bit veggies
and livestock that could feasibly go on
forever due to the game’s open-ended
nature you are able to explore caves and
do a spot of mining if you wish but
that’s more or less optional allowing
you to spend season after season looking
after your sliver of tranquility with
your virtual spouse the only issue we
take with this game is that the logo for
the evil company you used to work for it
looks awfully familiar
number three The Sims series mm-hmm
great quiz there we go control isn’t
something a lot of people believe they
have in their lives but it’s a feeling
we are granted in The Sims series every
single in-game sympathies a certain
degree of sentience and so only requires
a guiding hand to see them socialized
love and grow up to have a virtual
personality of their own from your godly
position you can live vicariously
through your sim family and oversee the
fulfilling of their aspirations in a
customizable world just like real life
there’s no end goal so you can do pretty
much whenever you want with no fear of
failure making for a thoroughly
liberating way of playing you Bennie’s a
agha hippo chin OSA number two Monument
Valley
this isn’t the sort of puzzle game that
will boggle your mind through sheer
difficulty but you might find yourself
hypnotized by the shifting perspectives
and optical illusions that are central
to the game’s design the architectural
impossibilities are the game’s main
mechanics and work perfectly for a
compliment to the oddly vague tale of
Princess Ida each level is completely
different from the next forcing your
brain to once again deconstruct the
mesmeric buildings in front of you just
like a great work of art it can
challenge how you view the world and
although it only lasts a couple of hours
it’s certainly worth a replay when life
gets a bit much before we reveal our
topic let’s have a look at some
honorable mentions
you
Goody’s great what the hell mean haba
haba this completes the first test of
the contestants poker faces the bad news
is you all failed miserably the good
news is you appear to be evenly matched
It was as if someone had taken the car
and shaken it like a cocktail the glove
compartment had been opened and emptied
with the ashtrays in the boot it made
for a crumpled Museum number one animal
crossing new leaf if ever a doctor were
to prescribe a game to relieve stress it
would probably be this delightful life
simulation almost every part of it is an
exercise in mental relaxation and
distraction making your job as the mayor
of a village of a calming treat each
anthropomorphic villager has their own
way of making you giggle while you also
stretch your creative muscles in
designing the whole place like you want
as you nurture your virtual Fang suite
with no end to the game you can take
everything slow be mindful and just
enjoy the natural world surrounding you
every villager has a huge smile on their
face and this place will probably have
the same effect on you do you agree with
our list whoa wait day in the morning
which game did you turn on when you
needed to find some Zen
