Best Chill-Out Games
We have searched the length and breadth of the digital world to bring you ten of the most fun and relaxing games sure to chill you out. Without further ado, let’s get right into them:
- Donut County
This amazingly fun game takes place in Donut County, where you literally control a hole in the ground. The game aims to use your hole in the ground to swallow things. The environments are colorful and fun. You start off by swallowing small things like chairs and chicken, but eventually, the hole gets bigger and bigger. Soon enough, you find yourself feeding hotels and entire town squares to your hole in the ground.
All of this ties in nicely with the storyline of the townspeople who have been swallowed by the hole in the ground and are now 900 feet below the ground. The cut scenes and dialogues are fun, and the gameplay is delightful.
- House Flipper
Have you ever wanted to build your dream home? Who hasn’t?
Well, with House Flipper, you can do all that and more. This really fun game lets you choose to buy broken old homes, apartments, and mansions to renovate them into works of art. The game’s customizable options are enormous, ranging from furniture, lights, floor, and roof tiles, to paints and even the ability to knock down walls and restructure the building the way you like.
Once you are done cleaning and renovating, you will sell them to the highest profit buyer. This game will ignite your creativity and will keep you hooked.
- TearDown
Feeling stressed and angry? Well then, Teardown is the game for you. The game aims to steal things by any means necessary without getting caught. With really fun and sometimes complex levels, the game wants you to find the quickest way to steal your target object, even if it involves breaking down walls, entire buildings, and more. If that's not relaxing, we don't know what is.
- Mini Metro
If you commute to work daily, you would agree how frustrating the local subway commute can be. We are sure you must have thought ‘why oh why is there never a train available when I am in a hurry!!!’.
Well, think no more. Mini Metro puts you in charge of a subway metro service.
The game is simple. You must connect stations by drawing lines between them and manage resources to keep the service efficient. As new stations open up, you must strategically reconnect them to keep the city commute going. The game is very simple but highly addictive.
