“AER is at its best whilst flying through the sky with little care in the world for the extra tasks the game demands. The flying is fun, strangely meditative, and feels freeing. Sadly, disappointment comes from AER’s choice to remain hands off in directing players towards its content. Instead of been filled with wonder as I explored, aimless wandering soon took over as I wished for a more authored experience.”
Starting today, Stranger Things 3: The Game and AER: Memories of Old are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until July 2 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
Playing video games can oftentimes be stressful, but sometimes we just need to unwind with something calm. Here are 10 of the best relaxing games on PS4.
Stardew Valley can get a teeny bit stressful when you’re managing a large field of crops that will die if you neglect them. And the Sims is relaxing until you have a family with multiple outside jobs to coordinate. But yeah compared to Call of Duty or whatever, they’re both chill for sure.
Flower is a calm and beautiful masterpiece but there is a little emotional stressors near the end.
Apparently men cannot get relaxed.
Besides the 8bit-styled one, which I skip (I was happy to leave those huge pixels behind, when I was selling my 8bit Atari, and don't miss it)...
None.
Not a single one of the games on the list escapes the "for women" style.
Not. A. Single. One.
Either it has to look childish or it has to make you feel sad and melancholy.
The only one that could, has to look infantile thanks to a filter, cause of course it has to.
It's a damn shame, cause I love relaxing games. REZ, AAA platform games in PS2-PS3 era etc.
Now I need to install mods for Spyro just to be allowed playing without some f...ing pink/purple tint all over the place.
I need to relax after thinking about relaxing games state in 2020. That's not good. ;)
AER stars you; a pilgrim on a pilgrimage to find 3 pieces of a tablet left behind by gods to seal the darkness away. During your journey to half a dozen temples and caves you encounter the gods in animal form that deposit the lore of the world inside of you.
