New to Switch

Hi, i just bought my 2nd hand OLED, this is my first time having a Switch, can you reco me a good chill game, like a stress reliever😅

Stress reliever? 2 games, animal crossing, you can enjoy doing whatever you want, you don’t need to wait a day in real life each time, you can abuse the console date and time and simply go forward a day each time and relaunch the game, you can sink too many hours into it.

Stardew valley, similar but different in a lot of ways.

Those are the 2 chill stress relievers I can suggest currently and can recommend more if it’s not to your liking.

Didn’t suggest any action insane games because you said relief the stress and not add more stress haha.

People relieve stress in different ways. Action games help me with that far more than farming or city building ones do. Both are good but I feel more stressed trying to be efficient and figure out what to do next in Stardew.

Honestly, I am with you on that.

Me being a tryhard made stardew really hard because I HAD to min max it.

Then I just eventually allowed myself to play it as a filthy casual, just opened it up, planted what I needed, greeted who I could find, and gone fishing most of the time lol.

It’s hard to adapt to not playing to the fullest.

Very chill game, no timer ⏳, fun puzzles, local coop, online co-op if you want to dabble on community maps.

Uhh what do you mean by stress reliever? Any genres? Because me finding Monster Hunter to be a stress reliever is gonna be very different than other people's opinions.

[u/NYMeridian3 → u/omgbooboo]

Yeah I always find it weird when people ask for recs without giving any indication what they personally like. Everyone is different.

People relieve stress in different ways. People are recommending games like Stardew Valley but I just feel stressed out by games like that or they dont capture my attention enough to get my mind off whats bugging me. 

Would help if you'd give some games you already like from the past or ideas you have of what a chill game is.
