I’m trying to get through an unpleasant cold, do you have title recommendations for a half-dead, bored brain?

I just finished Roadwarden before getting sick, but the amount of text and story is a no-no. Possibly a somewhat cutesy game where I can just do a few brainless clicks now and then would be perfect.

    This is when I go to mobile gaming because I could play in my bed. For me it’s mostly:

    • Stardew Valley
    • Emulating JRPGs
    • Doing dailies on my gacha games —> really brainless clicks lol
    • Magic Survival - Could easily make me play for hours upon hours
    • Night of the Full Moon

    Maybe a city building game?

    Bloons isn’t too involved but it can get intense

    What about games like kona, abzu, firewatch, a short hike, etc. A lot of exploring

    Not sure it’s what you’re looking for, but A Short Hike is a very comfy game. I first played it in the first few months of the pandemic and it was a pleasant escape from things. Fun exploration, nice aesthetic, and good music

    Minecraft is the coziest game for me. Whenever I want to just zone out, but feel productive, it’s a good option.

    A few brainless clicks now and then, you say? A couple years ago I was sick and I played the game The Longing and I remember thinking it was the perfect stuck at home sick game.

        See that’s the problem. You have to be sick enough that you need everything to move at a snail’s pace. Lol

    • Brotato, you play with a single stick much of the time. Only need to push buttons between stages when you pick upgrades.
    • Superflight, also single stick, you can make it as casual or risky as you want
    • Dorfromantik, if you play casually and just make a pretty landscape

    They all play great on the Steam Deck.

    Dragon Quest Builders 2, its like a better more objective driven Minecraft with Animal crossing elements. I have been playing this on and off since it released when i have nothing else to play or when i am bored. the characters talk a lot but you can ignore it.

    AER: Memories of Old

    Feather

    Both are very relaxing games about being a bird and flying around a beautiful, somewhat surreal landscape.
