danielpholt Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 You've had a bad day at work. You slide down on the sofa/chair and decide you're just going to unwind for a while. What game do you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I was actually going to ask on Twitter what pieces of media people consider their "warm blanket". Be it books, films, TV series, albums etc. Maybe that's something for the Entertainment Exchange here. Anyway, on the actual topic: it was Destiny for a long time and will probably be Destiny 2 when that comes out. Before that it was the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. That said, if I've had a bad day lately, I'm usually too exhausted or fed up to bother with games. Even "lightweight" mobile ones. Also, given how much changes in gaming, it isn't always easy to get into an old favourite game like it is just picking up a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Ghost Recon Wildlands, it's fun to just equip and LMG and an assault rifle with a grenade launcher and just cause chaos everywhere. There's also a couple of mobile games I've been playing, just farming for materials in Fate/Grand Order and clearing quests in Legacy of the Beast is great when you don't want to do anything else. Currently though, what I do most when I just want to unwind is play guitar, or piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeo-Gold92 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 For me it probably be Mortal Kombat, any game that I have in the series. Love them all, major part of my childhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Mine tends to just be whatever game I happen to be playing at that time, but if I had to pick a specific game that I repeatedly go back to it would have to be either Halo: CE or Wind Waker. I love both of those game so much, and have played them so many times that I can about do it with my eyes closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I tend to avoid games in these sorts of situations, as I don't really find them relaxing. The nearest thing to an exception is the animal crossing series but I've not played New Leaf for a good while now. I hope the switch one is on the horizon.

danielpholt Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I've noticed that over the last few years, one game each year becomes this game. First it was Destiny, then Rocket League, Overwatch and now Splatoon 2. I was tempted to put PUBG, but with that game being so incredibly tense I'm not sure I actively seek that out after a bad day. I want something easy, something that doesn't demand much. Splatoon 2 has such a low barrier to entry that I can throw it on, play a few rounds and work through whatever I'm currently going through without having to focus to much of my energy on playing well.
