Relaxing/immersive games for these worrying times

[Chilli.s]

Animal Crossing is out on the 20th on the Switch. There is also a phone version or if anyone has an old wii. Fishing, fruit picking etc Very relaxing.

I'm told this comes out a day early for downloaders only, so as to stop loads of people in the shops trying to buy hardcopy.

Alto's Odyssey on tablet.

That is a lovely game at the best of times.

Tempted to cancel the amazon order and download instead.

I'm going the other way and have realised that shooters are basically really loud mindfulness.

Nex Machina is just Zen with explosions.

Nuclear Throne is 92p for the next 48 hours.

Other than that Proteus is really nice if you just want to explore an island over 4 seasons.

Altos Odyssey free for a week.

Rime is a nice lightweight Zelda-like adventure with good atmosphere
Fez is a charming enemy-free platformer with a clever twist

That would be helpful, to save me having to google them all.
I don’t want to run games on my MacBook but I have consoles.

Witcher 3, Silent Hunter games, sniper elites/3 and 4, all very immersive time sinks, all the assassins creed games, ditto, except maybe Oddysey, with those damn mercenaries interupting you all the time, and killing you.

If anybody fancies playing Charm Farm on Facebook let me know - I need to invite people in order to progress and I’m a bit addicted to it at the moment.

Is it about farming charms or charming farms?

I guess it is the latter. It is a bit like farmville, if anyone remembers that, but more advanced.

ETA and it doesn't send out those annoying notifications that farmville used to flood facebook with!
