Sorry I haven’t replied to anyone, life got a little crazy. I did not expect this many replies on lemmy! Thank you everyone, and I will be checking out a bunch of these! Thank you so much. :) I really appreciate it.
So, I hope this allowed, if not, I’ll remove.
I have a small problem, y’all. I’m a filthy casual, and don’t game often. But right now, due to a lot of very stressful things going on, I’m having trouble sleeping. I’d like a game I can play on the deck for an hour or two at night to get sleepy. Here’s where the hard part comes in:
It’s gotta be cheap (25 or less)
It needs to be not-stressful to play, as in, it works well on the deck, with no fiddling, because I am a dumb and don’t understand things
I don’t actually know what kind of game I want. I don’t care for FPS games, I don’t have the time/patience/money for online multiplayer stuff, and I’m not super in super heavy action games.
I like puzzles, platformers, laid back games. Open world is great. Very small games are fun, but I need something that I can play pretty much every night for a while. I loved portal and the Stanley parable, but I’m burnt out on TSP and I’ve played both portal games several times. I need something with a little more longevity.
Can anyone help with this not at all reasonable request?
My go to game for relaxing is snowrunner. Trundling around in the mud and snow in trucks seems to be my valium for some reason. Fits into your cheap, open world and longevity requests well (games is huge and there’s lots of expansion levels if you like it). It’s pretty simple to start, but has plenty of complexity to grow into.
