    • Videogames to relax to?

      So there I was in the shower where all my random thoughts start running and colliding into each other, and it had occurred to me that I have yet to discover a video game designed specifically to relax the mind. Whether it's simple like arcade classics or incredibly complex and modern like GTA, CoD, and others, there is always some form of mental stimulation in games like this. More often than not, this can have a negative effect on certain people like myself.

      My question is if any of the bros here know of any video games that can relax my mind, particularly when I'm feeling quite irritated by people on the outside. The only ones I can think of are the Candy Crush clones, but you can't get those for the Wii (since it's dead), or can you?

    • I don't know for candy crush, it doesn't seemed like there is a version of it on wii. Though in the same panel type of geme you have bejeweled which actually is on wii and i think if you look around you might find some more of them.

    • Try playing Go Vacation on the Wii. My little sister and I played it over the summer and it was like so fun :) It's like an adventure/trying out new things kind of game. It uses your Mii settings on your Wii and it's so much fun. You can ride horses, cars, snowboards, skis, etc. The things you can do are limited because it's a small world but still there's a lot of challenges you can do and unlock certain stuff. Guaranteed stress reliever :)

    • I might go with Sims. Whenever I'm kind of stressed I play some Sims. I can't really think of any other "relaxing" game cause in my opinion games are not meant to relax you. They are meant to make your brain release as much dopamine as it can.

      I guess either I haven't as much dopamine as I thought I would when playing video games, or I'm just not that good at them that I would keep losing and raging, thus negating the purpose of trying to relax.

    • Hi,i also don't like playing the games with pressure like League of legend's or fast-paced shooters. I suggest Team fortress 2 it's funny and nobody relies on you. I also suggest casual games like Sim's or Habbo. Minecraft is relaxing and a nice slow-paced game. Just thinking off the top of my head Battlefield heroes or Garry's Mod. If you prefer Xbox or Playstaton relaxing games to past time in an offline or online environment you should try Grand theft auto, Fable series or Portal. A last piece of advise i would recommend other games like clash of clan's or sid meiers civilization for Slow-paced relaxing games that get addicting. for action Star war's battlefront, the last of us, destiny or the Halo series.

      I think i Over-thought this subject but i would like to get into full detail's of the relaxing games that popped up to my head. (Many other's came) but i gave you a brief list. I have no idea what type of games you like so........

      I hope this reply helped a lot!

      New games on Xbox like titanfall and dark soul's is becoming really popular

    • I get where your coming from i been grinding out some zombie games for the past week for achievements and the visual images games show you can infect you mentally and emotionally like a film and a book after all games are art.

      I personally go to Point N Click adventure games for mental stimulation and puzzles and to relax and enjoy a story line with artwork sometimes rather then a visual action movie type game.
