The idea is to chain similar pieces together, and the game will give you little “quests” to connect a certain number of matching tiles to grow your overall stack. The tiles come in distinct types: forests, fields, rivers, railroads, little houses and so on. It can be difficult, but even in failure, Tetris Effect induces a mind-freeing state like few games can.īuy for: Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox, PC, Meta Quest Dorfromantikĭorfromantik is a puzzle game in which you lay down tiles to create an idyllic countryside. And since Tetris itself comes as second-nature to an unusually large amount of people, we’ll make an exception for it here. “Chill Marathon,” for one, simply resets your score upon failure instead of giving you a game over. Others, however, are explicitly designed to tap into the game’s zen aspects. The way it makes you scramble to fix your past decisions is part of its magic, and several modes in Tetris Effect specifically thrive on stress. To be clear, Tetris is not the most relaxing game in the abstract. (This helps explain where the title comes from.) Its spacey pop soundtrack and themed boards have an ethereal, almost spiritual quality, one that fits neatly with the trance-like condition Tetris can induce. Tetris Effect is, in essence, a prettier version of the falling-block puzzle game that has compelled the globe since the mid-’80s. It’s an alternate little life, one that gives you the choice to take it easy. (On the flipside, if you want to turn your land into a model of ruthless efficiency as soon as possible, the experience will be more overwhelming, and the story will have a darker undercurrent.) It all starts a bit slow, but there’s no external force rushing you, and the game’s trajectory of progress always points upward. It’s a game that’s willing to meet you at your pace: If you want to putter around your farm, casually chat up townsfolk, brew beer or fish for a few hours, you can. Stardew ValleyĪpart from being one of our favorite couch co-op games, the farming life sim Stardew Valley is also notable for its relaxing qualities. To help those who could use some help winding down, we’ve rounded up a selection of games that purposefully deemphasize fail states, violence, overwhelming grinds, intense competition and other aggressive urges, but aren’t overly cute for the sake of it or so stripped-down that they’re boring.

OS: OS X version Leopard 10.5.8, Snow Leopard 10.6.3, or later.In recent years, we’ve seen an influx of self-proclaimed “ cozy games,” video games explicitly designed to invoke good vibes.Graphics: OpenGL 2.0 with shader model 3 required, ATI Radeon X1300 or better, Nvidia 6000-series or better.Progression is done on a sort of tree where you unlock more levels according to the amount of roses you have unlocked.
To make things slightly more challenging, you have limited amount of rope to work with and to complete a puzzle, you must rap your rope around a shining white nail. 70% equals 1 rose, 85% equals 2 roses and 99% equals 3 roses.
The game gives you a certain number of flowers depending on how much of the structure you have colored.
This requires you to weave the rope through structures of varying difficulty which can go from a hippo to more abstract shapes which require careful thinking in order to succeed.
This is where the game becomes a puzzler as you must try to color 100% of the structure. By tying the rope around the structure, each piece of rope that touches the structure colors a part of said structure. The player does not directly control the rope, instead he rotates the object that is already attached to a piece of rope. Zen Bound 2 has you spinning rope around a wooden structure. The game is meant to be relaxing as it features minimal music and no time limit or pressure. The game requires you to tie rope around different wooden structures by spinning the structure around. Zen Bound 2 is a puzzle game developed by Secret Exit.
