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.
Definitely try out Dorf Romantik on Steam. It’s a non stressful landscape puzzle game. It can also be challenging when you want everything perfect, but it doesn’t need to be.

I enjoy a casual session of Townscaper once in a while, this feels really close to home :3
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
What is a gacha game?
it’s a kind of game that features character collection via random drops from lootboxes and events
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.
I played The Longing when I wasn’t sick, but the pacing felt worse than sluggish, so it was a quick refund.
See that’s the problem. You have to be sick enough that you need everything to move at a snail’s pace. Lol
Donut county
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
- 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.
