I’ve been really struggling to unplug my brain after a heavy week at work and I always overthink my free time, to the point where I don’t know what I’d prefer to do.

What’s your ‘go to’ way to relax or disconnect from real life?

Thanks!

      Old school RuneScape, there’s a reason you see it’s communities being super popular. It has a ton of activities ranging from completely mindless (good for movie/video watching) to extremely engaging depending on your flavor.

      It’s not out yet, but the studio has a long history of making engaging and interesting worlds, so Starfield. It’ll probably have some bugs on launch in a few days, but I trust the game will be great. This leads to the fact that any game with a good universe or story helps. So Skyrim and fallout universe games I highly recommend.

      Finally I’ll suggest some typical relaxing games. People like stardew, I’m not a fan and there are many clones that do things different so that’s an option. Give slime rancher a go, it’s a super cute game that’s really just incredibly relaxing. Pokémon or any of the clones is also super relaxing.

      Hope this helps!

        I’ve played Fallout 4 and slime rancher, and yeah I agree they’re nice games

          I really enjoy The Long Dark in pilgrim/easy mode.

          A) no other game captures walking in the woods during winter the way this one does. Brings me right back to growing up in the bush in Eastern Ontario.
          B) it’s a walking/scavenging/survival game in an empty of people world. On easy mode you don’t need to worry about the predators and the survival elements are more realistic than punishing as in higher difficulties.

          They’ve recently added some interior design elements so you can find an abandoned cabin and just hole up in a quiet world. It’s a really nice escape I find.
