So, I hope this allowed, if not, I’ll remove.
I have a small problem, y’all. I’m a filthy casual, and don’t game often. But right now, due to a lot of very stressful things going on, I’m having trouble sleeping. I’d like a game I can play on the deck for an hour or two at night to get sleepy. Here’s where the hard part comes in:
It’s gotta be cheap (25 or less)
It needs to be not-stressful to play, as in, it works well on the deck, with no fiddling, because I am a dumb and don’t understand things
I don’t actually know what kind of game I want. I don’t care for FPS games, I don’t have the time/patience/money for online multiplayer stuff, and I’m not super in super heavy action games.
I like puzzles, platformers, laid back games. Open world is great. Very small games are fun, but I need something that I can play pretty much every night for a while. I loved portal and the Stanley parable, but I’m burnt out on TSP and I’ve played both portal games several times. I need something with a little more longevity.
Can anyone help with this not at all reasonable request?
Have you seen superliminal? It’s a very similar vibe to Portal.
Also the guy who made The Stanley Parable has like three other games. One is free to play, very short. But worth downloading. There is another that is about a friend who does or something, it’s really meta but different than TSP. Also, The Stanley Parable has a remaster with a bunch of new content. I don’t remember the names of these games but if you are at your computer they shouldn’t be hard to find.
Have you tried many roguelike games? They are basically games that are super easy to sink an hour or two into without much consequence. They intend for you to die and just start over frequently. Anyways, some of my favorites are Inscryption, Cult of the Lamb, and Slay the Spire. The first and last are card games too. So super easy to start and stop.
