I'm finding myself returning to Tetris Effect: Connected when I'm not in the mood to do or play anything else. My favourite effect mode is Purify, where you're clearing dark blocks with every line clear. I'm still trying to beat my high score of over 300+
Forza Horizon 4 is my go-to when i don't know what to play and just want to have fun.
i just pick whatever car and either drive around the scottish countryside, go for a few races/events or mindlessly try to destroy as much of the environment as i can, all while listening to music i enjoy.
Deep Rock Galactic. A bit of friendly comraderie from a solid community, a bit of mindless bug nuking, variable difficulty depending on your mood, and no real downsides.
No Man’s Sky, for sure. Such an easy game to passive enjoy and chill out to, especially when there’s an expedition going on. I keep multiplayer off to enjoy the idea of being a lone explorer in that universe.
It’s pretty solid imo, I play it on my steam deck and only stutter occasionally when going planet to space on first startup. Once you let it do it’s first round of shader caching (star field loading screen in the beginning) it’s pretty good.
I can always get some enjoyment out of shiny hunting in Pokemon. Doesn't require a ton of mental energy compared to the enjoyment the collector/completionist part of my brain gets out of it. Just pop on a series or movie and pass the time hunting for a few hours.
Doom Eternal rn, it's so fun. I love the atmosphere and lore. My go to for years was GTA online but I've spent an embarrassing amount of time in that game. I just can't bring myself to drive on those same streets any longer and I couldn't care less about whatever new business grind they come out with as dlc
Nothing beats digging some holes in Minecraft. I can just throw on some music or a podcast or a boring movie in the background and mine and craft my heart out.
Not so much a specific game but when I really don't know what to play I love a good Metroidvania style game. Currently it's Deadcells or Blasphemous or Guacamelee.
