4 Relaxing Games to Play in 2020

I just wanted to start off really quick with announcing Puregamr's YouTube Channel! Giving it a sub would be much appreciated. I'll be uploading videos once a week or so with articles to accompany them, just like this one.

I know this year has been rough, but hopefully this can help. If you are burnt out on life, your current video games, protesting, or whatever it is you’re doing, you need to make sure you take some time for yourself to relax and unwind. So, here are four relaxing games to play here in 2020.

‍

Fez

This one’s an oldie, but it still holds up today. Fez is a game about changing your perspective, literally, to solve puzzles and collect little cubes. You shift and turn this 2D world in a 3D space to uncover paths, platforms, and doors. No boss fights, no enemies and there is never a “Game Over”. There are no lives; if you die, you simply get spawned back where you were to try that challenge again. There are also tons of little secrets to be found, so even when you beat the game, there is still more to discover.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Have you heard about this game? Of course you have, it’s on track to being Nintendo’s best selling game ever and it’s only been out for six months. That should tell you just how great this game really is. But I won’t spend too much time describing this one for you, but if you like crafting, talking to sweet cute little villagers, and shaping an entire island to your dream escape, then Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the game for you.

Spiritfarer

Have you already played your heart out in Animal Crossing? Then you should feel right at home in this platformer Spiritfarer. Basically, you are in limbo and are tasked to guide Spirits who take the form of animals across the seas to bring them to the afterlife. But the passing over to the afterlife is just a step along the journey. Your day-to-day is the bulk of the game; upgrading your ship, travelling the seas to gather resources, gardening, taking care of your spirits, and making sure to hug them every day. Spiritfarer is as peaceful and rewarding as any game can be.

A Short Hike

A Short Hike is a stylish, sweet little journey about hiking to the top of a mountain. That’s your only goal. Along the way, you are free to explore the world however you wish. Drive a boat around, play volleyball with other hikers, discover buried treasure, go fishing, or soar through the skies with your own set of wings. There is nothing you can do that is wrong, just as long as you are having fun.

If life is getting you down, please go out and enjoy these wonderful little games. Also make sure to head over to my YouTube channel and subscribe to keep up-to-date on all gaming news and content without all the bullshit.
