Power wash simulator. There are exactly zero stakes and it’s just nice and mindless when my work is so not mindless

Coming home and playing Dressmaker has actually been really nice the last couple weeks.

Spiritfarer is so cathartic and puts things into perspective so well. You’re shepherding folks towards their deaths and helping them work through their stuff so they’re ready before finally taking them to the great beyond. Gorgeous music. Cozy, so cozy. Stardew valley vibes but you have a boat and a bunch of friends with you.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is one that helped me with burnout. Very story driven and vast ability to explore the environment. Fights are turn based so there’s no anxiety around timing.

Skyrim, between the music and the overall ambience of the game, it's my favorite game to jump into when I'm stressed. stardew is awesome too, because you fall into task management, and get side tracked by the great writing and characters. dynasty warriors, mindless pve, chinese history, unintentionally funny characters, and guitar rock. Littlewood, charming characters, calming gameplay. Minecraft, enough said.

Also as somebody who just experienced some awful burnout, Dressmaker is like an 11 out of 10. It’s like a very accessible creative outlet that doesn’t restrict or push so much on you and you can take as long as you need. Also another big one id recommend is any Rollercoaster/Zoo Tycoon-like game. Especially in sandbox mode.

slime rancher, or other no pressure games like palia, hello kitty island adventure, disney dreamlight, for a bit more mmo style with quite a bit of fun grinding warframe

my job is never ending tasks that leave no lasting mark. collecting and discarding trash, answering calls about printer malfunctions or equipment needing to be towed away, replacing forklift batteries, etc. my burnout recovery are creative games where you build and customize something that you can then take a step back to look at and see how much youve accomplished. Minecraft, Enshrouded, Core Keeper, Terraria. sandbox survival as a genre basically

Please look into Journey. It is 3 games but one is called Flower where you are the wind flowing through beautiful landscapes blooming flowers with cinematic music. It is beautiful and helped my work anxiety so much. 🥹
