Ninja Kiwi made a series of super casual TD games where you use monkeys to pop balloons. Quite entertaining and fairly easy - also free on PC. You can purchase the mobile app as well.

Genshin Impact is a chill game, you don't need to spend money to enjoy the story and there is the multiplayer if you want to farm something you think you can't manage alone.

Games about balloons always remind me of the infamous PooYan. Played it on my keyboard famicom clone, maybe that's part of why I like Touhou Project games so much, the pain.

Doesn't looks chill, also if it requires a constant internet connection to work it's simply not for me, speed is still measured in Kbps around here and ping must be insanely high, if I can get a somewhat stable connection to a server.

Planescape torment,just don’t attack the wizard.
Classic. I like it, might attack the wizard. The name is... fitting for me, as the torment of living in south america in this plane of existence only causes me to dream of escaping it. If someone at the Universe's management is reading this please guys it's been enough already, I want to leave PVP I've been stuck at this zone for too much.

Thanks y'all I've downloaded The Talos Principle, Satisfactory, Stardew Valley, Deliver Us To The Moon and Dreamfall The Longest Journey (first game unavailable).

I disagree immensely with Talos Principle being a chill game. I remember getting very very furstrated/stressed cause the puzzles always got me stuck for hours, I never did finish that game, I rage quit i think at one point cause one of the puzzles i just couldn't figure out, heh.

It's chill in the sense that you can walk away from the game and come back to it later and nothing will have changed. You have the convenience of time. That isn't to say puzzle games can't get hard though, but the mood of the game is fairly laid back.

I understand what you are saying, but still the purpose of the thread is stress free and chill. Stardew Valley fits that mold perfectly for example. I just don't agree with Talos Principle is all, but that is because of my own experience with it, others may find it chill, I am quite dumb when it comes to puzzle games... lol

I like puzzle games, so far it's been interesting. A mix of Portal and Sokoban.

Famicom games could be really complex considering they're from the 1980s, I loved Sokoban as it was a challenge, same with Lode Runner, PooYan, Mario, Q*bert.

I know you've downloaded some games now but just giving a special shout-out to Broforce that is weirdly chill . Yes, a lot of enemies but so much fun. You can just blow the shit out of everything with various characters like Rambro, Brobocop, Indiana Brones etc... :D

Each have their own character specific weapons/abilities and special attacks. It's a lot of fun in small doses.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Portal and Portal 2 were a good balance of difficulty and fun for me, but any more than that, I cannot handle. :ohwell:

Even in RPGs, I tend to just storm in and shoot/hit everything until it stops moving. A good story is plenty to think about, I don't want to keep thinking about my spell/potion/etc. choices as well. :D

OW as in Overwatch? How can you find any online game a good way to chill? :wtf: Online games need more focus than anything, not to mention that the whole experience is usually ruined by angry teenagers.

World of Goo is a nice ride.
Plants vs Zombies -> was mentioned, but I mention it again. :) so much fun, end song is a killer
Child of light -> if you are not a completionist and don't want every stone (quest) unturned is a nice ride. You will have to think though, not a hack'n slash
Solar 2 -> small, easy to play...once you become a black hole, that is :p
Prince of Persia 2008 - the cell-shaded one, once you get the hang of the quick-time events
Trine -series- colorful and bright and cheery
Abzu - kind of artsy game, pretty graphics, but not sure I like it
Beyond blue - swimming around with actual sea animal, even educational
Flower - you are.....the "wind" and you have to help plants

Could I interest you in, Highfleet? Totally chill as you fly methane-burning houses with fighter jet maneuverability.

It also has a great soundtrack and may or may not cause seizures.

Not chill. You start with 4 ships, I lost one by crashing it into the ground, two trying to shoot down a horde of enemies and the last one by purposedly ramming it into another enemy because the cannons were empty.

Total success.

Sounds like any Combat Flight SIm on PC. Ace COmbat 7 has to be the worst.

A chill Game that can put you to sleep is Ashes of the Singularity on Skirmish on the biggest map. You could just turn off Victory Points, get resources to a certain point on the map and just build a defensive wall while you construct Capital ships and have them patrol your territory.

If you like Ace Combat, give Project Wingman a shot. I blew tons of time in it. Just an arcade type flying game where you have tons of missles/bombs and a good mix of air and ground combat. Tons of fun.

oh shit, its already in my library... must have got it from some kind of humble bundle or something and not noticed. lmao

fantastic. thanks adding it to my favorites section so i dont forget about it

to you i recommend Combat Wings Battle of Britain, its like a 1-2 hour long campaign, but a lot of fun for those 1-2 hours... I think it took me 3 hours in total to beat it, but I had fun, and it was like $3-5 on sale, i forget. can't complain, cheaper than going to the movies.

Airplane games are a special genre, they're certainly not for everyone, not for me at least. Like racing games.

In other news I've been having fun with Control lately, you can play Toph Simulator and toss countless rocks at enemies.
