30 Relaxing Games on Steam | 2024 Edition | (+Steam sale prices)

Hello, my name is ColdBeer and let's start with Slime Rancher. This is a lovely first-person sandbox experience. You will play a young and brave rancher who embarks on a life a thousand light years from Earth. Every day he will present new challenges and risky opportunities as you try to amass a huge fortune in the slime farming business. He collects colorful slimes, farms, harvests resources and explores the wild nature. Also here you can complete daily requests from other ranchers for additional rewards. Earn money to upgrade your stuff, build more corrals, and expand your ranch. This is a

relaxing

and fun game, very suitable after a hard day at work or as a casual pastime when you have nothing else to do.

Well, in that case, you can prepare a delicious potato salad. Doors Paradox Have you ever played the game called The Room? This is basically the same. Here you will try to look for clues, click on things, unlock various drawers, connect pipes, melt uranium and do many other crazy things to unlock the doors to the next level. Which will contain more doors. Yes, here you will find 58 door puzzles set in 13 unique kingdoms. The puzzles aren't very difficult - I played the demo, you can also try it on Steam for free and I don't think I really got stuck anywhere.

But I must warn you that the game is really addictive. I only wanted to solve one door to make a good impression about the game, but I spent about an hour solving puzzle after puzzle. The game is really satisfying and well made. All Now If you've ever wondered if we live in a simulation, this game is a great example of what it could be like if someone who created our simulated universe decided to play around with it. And I'm not talking about making your nose even bigger for fun, no. The game is on a much larger scale, although not as big as your mom's.

It's all an interactive experience where every object in the Universe is a playable character, from animals to planets, galaxies and more. Travel between outer and inner space and explore a vast interconnected universe of things with no objectives, scores or mandatory tasks to complete. This is a sandbox where you can spend a lot of your time and it's more of an art than an actual game, but it works as a great stress reliever. Some say even better than potato salad. No, no one actually said that. At least in this universe. Journey This is a very different game if you compare it to anything else in the gaming world.

Here you will have to cross the desert, learn about the fate of the ancients and immerse yourself in dangerous ruins. Or not dangerous, just beautiful. You can't fight here, running away is also not an option, if you encounter an enemy, the only way to survive is to hide. But don't worry, this is not a hide and seek game, the enemies are very rare. What you will do most here is travel. You will be on a journey. It is a

relaxing

game, you need almost no skills to finish it; It's just a beautiful adventure with amazing images and you have all my recommendations.

Imagine: my mother is 65 years old and she finished the game on her Playstation 4 without any help. This game suits everyone. Pilgrims Do you know Samorost and Machinarium? It is another creation of the developers who created these wonderful

games

. And Pilgrims looks like a wonderful game too. So don't hesitate. I prohibit. Here you will travel the earth as you wish and make new friends, share laughter with your fellow travelers and help them complete their little stories, your way. How many different solutions can you find? This game is made to be played, not to be won. It's the journey, not the destination.

The game includes 45 achievements and amazing music. And just look at this price. It looks cute and friendly to your wallet. Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator This is a truly unique and satisfying game. Here you will learn to make various potions: from rat poison to elixir of love, which you can then give to your mother-in-law, so that she loves you more than her own daughter. What a devious plan that is! Also here you can buy various ingredients from street vendors or grow them yourself in your medieval garden. The game has about 90% positive reviews for a reason: people on Steam say that Potion Craft is a really relaxing game without many restrictions, as you know, time is running out.

No, none of that here. Really simple but thoughtful game. My Time At Portia This is a fun and relaxing RPG - a great open world game with an incredible amount of things to do. It is similar to Stardew Valley but has much more depth. Literally, because it's 3D, and figuratively, because it's bigger overall. And this is the best game if you just want to relax. Here you arrive in a strange new post-apocalyptic city called Portia to inherit your father's old construction workshop and spend your time restoring it to its former glory. It's definitely not a game for a serious RPG lover, but sometimes it's nice to kick back, catch some alpacas, build some experimental gadgets, and even go into a dungeon to fight giant rats.

Definitely a game for the whole family. Season A Letter to the Future This is a beautiful open-world narrative visual novel where you play as a young girl from a remote town exploring the world by bicycle for the first time. You will collect memories before a cataclysm destroys everything. The game will take you on a quest to discover a new world; an unknown but familiar one. You will document, photograph and record life as you find it, for as long as you can. Each recording tool captures a different layer; sounds and music, art and architecture, the stories of characters who live crucial moments.

Their tools peel back these layers until you understand the culture, history, and ecology beneath it all. The game has over 90% positive reviews and could be great for you to take a break from various bloodshed-filled hack and slash titles and try something different. Strange Horticulture Here you will find and identify new plants, pet your cat, talk to a coven or join a cult. Use your growing collection to influence history and unravel dark mysteries. You are a citizen of a charming city surrounded by witch-infested forests and rugged mountains. You are the horticulturist, owner of a local plant store.

When a group of colorful customers pass by your store, you quickly become immersed in a hidden mystery that dates back hundreds of years. Explore the lands beyond your tent to find new plants, but be careful! Dark forests and lakes are not always pleasant to a simple herbalist. You could discover powers beyond your wildest nightmares or lose your mind completely. The game has an overwhelmingly positive review score, it is a true masterpiece, if you like interesting things and not clichés, you should play it. The game Vanishing of Ethan Carter surprised me by not having any user interface, no information bar or anything like that.

And that's a good thing because you don't need it anyway. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is very detailed and the praise this game received for its graphics is well deserved. You can call the game a walking simulator, but it's more like a detective story that you have to develop. You know, walking around here, little by little you will reveal clues that will allow you to reconstruct the events of this Lovecraftian mystery. Yes, the game can be really creepy at times, but that adds to the immersion. The main story is built up from several smaller stories, and once you put all the clues together, the game rewards you with an interesting and unexpected conclusion.

Actually, if you're expecting a simple murder mystery here, it's nothing like that. Basically, if you like beautiful, slow-paced

games

with the ability to surprise you, this is one of the best choices you can make. The Last Campfire This is an adventure, the story of a lost ember trapped in a bewildering place, searching for meaning and a way home. Here you will travel deeper into the lands beyond the dark forest and overcome the adversities that come your way. Discover a beautiful nature full of lost inhabitants, strange creatures and mysterious ruins. 97% of all the people who bought this game recommend it to you.

People on Steam talk about this being a beautiful story-driven game, full of great art and even better music. The puzzles that the game offers you range from quite easy to medium, nothing will bend your brain in this game. If you fail here in any way, it's purely a problem of your IQ, sorry. If you have doubts, you can try the demo version on Steam for free. Dorfromantik This is a relaxing puzzle and strategy building game where you place tiles to create idyllic, ever-growing village landscapes. With Dorfromantik, you can immerse yourself in a calm and peaceful world at any time and take a break from everyday life that usually sucks.

At the same time, the game offers a challenge for those looking for one: to beat the high score, you must plan carefully and strategically place your chips, so you will have to use that little organ between your ears. And it's good that you take a break from killing countless zombies, riding dragons, and hunting Bigfoot. It somehow reminds me of a board game called Carcassonne. If you like it, you will also love this game. And vice versa. And now it's time to subscribe, or if you're already subscribed, hit the bell notification button, let's be friends with benefits.

Titan Chaser It's a meditative experience where you don't need to manage fuel, car maintenance, health or damage. Simply find where to drive and how to use your tools effectively. Or just forget about work and drive through misty landscapes to calm down after a hard day. Although your job here is to find monsters and make them disappear. I think it's inspired by a Norwegian movie called Troll Hunter. This is the best Norwegian accent I can do. Sue me. The game has very positive reviews and people on Steam say that this game is an absolute gem. Really creative and ambitious project.

Townscaper What a beautiful game this is! Well, to be fair, it's hard to call it a game, there are no objectives or gameplay, just a lot of building and a lot of beauty. That's all. As the developers say, Townscaper is an experimental passion project. More of a toy than a game. Choose colors from the palette, place colored house blocks on the irregular grid, and watch as Townscaper's underlying algorithm automatically turns those blocks into cute little houses, arches, stairs, bridges, and lush backyards. You can build your own Coldbeertown, Coldbeerville or even entire ColdBeeristan and enjoy the amazing view.

The game has overwhelmingly positive reviews and I can see why. What Remains of Edith Finch An overwhelmingly positive review score should catch your attention. Seventeen-year-old Edith Finch is the last surviving member of the eccentric Finch family. All of her closest relatives and her family died violently at a young age, sparking rumors of a family curse. She is now on her way to her Finch mansion, a strange, ramshackle building hidden deep in the woods of Washington state. Once there, she intends to investigate her family's history and discover the truth behind the supposed curse. While this may seem like a horror game, it's actually just a nice story about a family that's more interesting than yours.

Or mine. People say this is more than just a game: it's a unique art form. Call of the Sea A wonderful game for puzzle lovers in which you unlock the secrets of the search for the lost exp

edition

. It is the year 1934, on the edge of the South Pacific. You play as Norah, who has crossed the ocean following the trail of her missing husband's exp

edition

and finds herself on a lush island paradise, a forgotten and nameless place, dotted with the remains of a lost civilization. What strange mysteries does it hold and what might Norah unearth in her search for the truth?

Maybe a better recipe for potato salad? I do not doubt it. People say that Call of the Sea has a very interesting story and the visuals are stunning. On Steam it has around 90% positive reviews and that is definitely enough for you to immerse yourself in this first-person story-rich adventure. Find your husband, my hero, find him alive. Eastshade There's nothing shady about this game; in fact, it's hard to find a darker corner here. You are a traveling painter, you explore the island and capture the world on your canvas. Talk to the inhabitants to learn about their lives.

Make friends and help those in need. Visit cities, climb peaks, discover mysteries and discover forgotten places! Although, as I always say, if you're used to killing things in games, you'll find the lack of violence here really disturbing. You won't find any enemies to maim, cut or slash, no one to shoot, no blood or intestines dripping on the floor, nor the usual possessed undead babies climbing to the ceiling. So keep in mindKeep in mind that all this friendship can really surprise you, play at your own risk. Firewatch This is one of the most immersive games I've ever played: Firewatch is a single-player first-person mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness.

The year is 1989. You are a man named Henry who has retired from his disorderly life to work as a fire lookout in the lush forest. An especially hot and dry summer is a big thing everywhere except the workplace. One smoking cigarette butt or a piece of broken glass and this beauty can turn into a real hell on earth in seconds. This is a game for adults with adult conversation topics. Even though it is colorful and beautiful, it is not made for children in any way. ABZÛ From the art director of Journey, ABZÛ is a beautiful underwater adventure that evokes the dream of diving.

Here you will immerse yourself in a vibrant hidden world full of color and life as you descend into the heart of the ocean. But be careful, as you swim deeper, you will face the dangers that lurk in the depths. No, I'm kidding, you can't actually die here and you don't have any fighting skills either. This game is pure adventure, a true member of the walking simulator family. Well, swimming simulator, I guess. So if you played Journey, you'll probably like ABZÛ too. This is a great game, you have my sincere recommendations. Although keep in mind that this game is like your ding dong.

Very short. Totally Accurate Battle Simulator If you're just bored and want to kill time in single player without thinking too much, I doubt there's a better game for that than Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. At first, it's a lot of fun, second, it challenges your IQ and real tactical skills. All you need to do is choose your units, place them strategically and press the fight button. They will do all the battle part themselves and you will watch as a higher god, who no longer has the power to influence anything. So, when your army is torn apart and its scattered remains lie on the ground, then you can think of another strategy and try again.

And then again. Some of the campaign battles are incredibly difficult and will stretch your IQ through the nose. Also, if you're wondering, the game has around 100,000 reviews left on Steam and the score is very close to 100%. I'm not kidding, it's probably one of the highest rated games on all of Steam. The Companion So here you will play as a mutated fox with many tails and explore a magical spiritual realm. You will travel through seven majestic landscapes and witness the emotional story of a family as they face the challenges that await them. Note that the story itself is a bit trippy, because sometimes you play in the future, sometimes in the past;

The episodes are not in linear order and that can be a little confusing. Anyway, if you like story-based walking simulators with a lot of exploration, then it's for you. Monument Valley Here you will embark on a journey as Ida, the silent princess, through impossible environments and illusory puzzles. You will experience this meditative and relaxing puzzle game by manipulating monuments and creating evolutionary paths to explore new, surreal and mysterious worlds. Basically, you'll solve complicated but immensely satisfying puzzles with optical illusions at their core. Evolve landscapes to reveal paths that would have otherwise been impossible. And as you progress, discover beautiful architecture, transforming landscapes by pushing, pulling, clicking, moving up, down and more. 98% positive reviews is not something you can easily ignore.

So do not do it. Staxel From time to time we need to relax, overcome anxiety and enjoy some beautiful colors. So instead of drugs, this time you can try Staxel. This is a creative game of farming and village life with a cast of quirky characters. Build your farm, help the villagers, go out into the wild to fish or hunt bugs, and grow a variety of crops in your backyard. This game is really good to play with friends. So if you have friends, I mean real friends, you probably know them very well, you know their secrets, so blackmail them into playing Staxel with you, because that's the only way.

The Unfinished Swan Here you will explore a mysterious all-white landscape by splashing paint to reveal the world around you. You will follow a swan who emerged from an unfinished painting and entered a surreal realm inspired by a storybook. Each chapter brings surprises and new ways to explore the world. Which is a lot of strange and sometimes dangerous creatures. You will also meet the eccentric king who built this empire. This is simply one of the best puzzle games ever created. If you are looking for a beautiful game, with a good story and relaxing gameplay, you should definitely try this title.

A short walk 99 percent positive reviews. Yes, this seems like some kind of miracle. Games with such ratings do not exist. You know, like elves or politicians who don't lie. Or elves who don't lie. So here you can walk and climb through the tranquil landscapes of the mountain slopes, follow the marked trails or explore the countryside as you make your way to the summit. Along the way, meet other hikers and discover hidden treasures. People on Steam talk about this game being like Breath of the Wild crossed with Animal Crossing and the only bad thing about this game is that it ends.

And it ends very quickly, this game will improve about an hour and a half of your life. A masterpiece, without a doubt. Festival Tycoon This is a micromanagement simulator about creating music festivals! Here you'll take your festival from a backyard bonanza to a can't-miss global event. Work with bands and various brands to build a great reputation and make lots of money! Choose from a wide catalog of buildings and decorations to design a party venue that is practical and beautiful. Build around a theme, use and create custom maps, upload local music and earn good amounts of money.

Well, if I play this game. I will definitely create a Potato Salad Fest here and it will feature amazing bands like Tenacious D, Rammstein and Foo Fighters. Although for copyright reasons they will probably be called Tenacious A, Rannsteim and Poo Fighters. With career mode, sandbox mode, and even a hardcore mode, there are plenty of ways to play. People on Steam say the game is easy to pick up and fun to play for a few hours, but you'll probably get bored pretty quickly, so the

is the perfect time to get it. Gorogoa An overwhelmingly positive review score of 97% is not something we can easily ignore.

Gorogoa is an elegant evolution of the puzzle genre, told through a beautiful hand-drawn story. The gameplay here is entirely original, consisting of lavishly illustrated panels that you arrange and combine in various ways to solve clever puzzles. Impeccably simple, yet satisfyingly complex. People on Steam are talking about how this may be the best puzzle game ever made. Well, I agree: it is definitely one of the best, very imaginative and made entirely of art. In Other Waters This is one of the best indie games I've come across recently. The story begins when Ellery is called to the planet Gliese, only to arrive at an abandoned base.

He finds himself adrift in an ocean of secrets, with little more than a faulty diving suit and a strange AI to guide him. And you don't play as Ellery, as you already assumed, but as this AI. How have the shifts been presented, eh? So you must guide Ellery (and keep her safe) as you dive deeper and explore an underwater alien landscape. The planet's unique life and dark history are yours to discover and the bond between you and Ellery will be tested with the secrets you will learn. People say this game floats somewhere between an art project, a work of fiction, and a minimalist UI design experiment.

I absolutely agree and I will add the fact that this game is amazing and if you like stuff like that you should definitely try it. The Talos Beginning You find yourself in a strange and contradictory world of ancient ruins and advanced technology. Tasked by your creator with solving a series of increasingly complex puzzles, you must decide whether to have faith or ask the hard questions: Who are you? What is your purpose? And what is the best potato salad recipe? Here you will have to solve more than 120 immersive puzzles, deflect drones, manipulate laser beams and even replicate time to prove your worth and find a way out.

If you think you have a great intellect, this game will humble you, I promise. Kerbal Space Program While the second part of the game is still a disaster with a review score of 50%, the first part will never fail to entertain us. This game is fun, but also very difficult: here you will have to create your own spaceship and rocket science is not easy at all. She's not your sister. Hope for? Anyway, building a spaceship here reminds me of creating abominations in Spore: every detail can be scaled, rotated, and attached to another detail. Therefore, you must do everything right to be able to perform a space flight.

The game has a really good physics engine, so you can't successfully take off with a giant unicorn or something, but if you practice enough, you can send a giant potato salad bowl to the Moon. No, you probably can't, but you can try :) Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles This title can be really entertaining for those who like farming and crafting games like Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, and others like them. Although it is not at the same level of quality, it is much shorter and smaller than the aforementioned ones, but it is really cute and interesting.

If you are hungry for games like that, it may be a good option. Yonder is a relaxing open-world adventure set on a natural island paradise with eight distinct environments ranging from tropical beaches to snowy peaks. But this land is not as perfect as it seems. The mysterious Murk has taken over the land! Then your task is to remove it. And now keep in mind that there are many other Steam Summer
