Stardew Valley and Terraria may both fit your list, although Terraria stresses me out a bit.
Stardew Valley is a good one, but I definately wouldn't consider Terraria casual or low-stress.
Not to mention using touch controls for it is brutal. At least, for me it is. Might be decent if using a controller with your phone.
I've tried it even with the razor kishi. No dice. This game was born for mouse and keyboard.
Stardew Valley can be stress inducing if you are that type of player.
Lol this is me before mods
Simply do not consent to JoJo
Haha
Terarria can be played as casual or low stress. You choose when to advance the difficulty, and how elaborately you contruct your preparations for the next step. But for a largely stress-free casual playstyle, focus on being a summoner. Also, there isn't much penalty for dying. So if you can wrap your mind around not being bothered by dying, then any playstyle can feel casual really. It's certainly a tough mindset to achieve for some of us though, lol.
I agree. I only mentioned it because it was recommended to me as low stress, so I thought it was just me that didn't get it lol
Note with Stardew Valley: it is not unplayable without a controller, but if you have clumsy sausage fingers like me, the poor touch controls really took me out of the game.
Does terraria have a chill mode?
Not sure if you saw this comment above. Looks like there are ways to change the difficulty. I'm not sure that would help me though. The monsters move fast for me.
Oh I knew that at least. I usually turn that all the way up and play on PC. I was thinking more along the lines of Minecraft passive mode or whatever they call it these days. I suppose it wouldn't make sense in the context of terraria though. Terraria is about the fights.
That's true. Maybe I should try it on PC. I know a lot of people really like it so I would like to give it a fair shot.
Stardew valley stressed me out so much I stopped playing before even reaching that first year party. It looks like a casual fun game, but there are so many characters to make friends (even if it's optional, it's stressful because of the implication/expectation). And you need to tend to your garden, and even if you don't do anything, midnight rolls around and you feel like you didn't do anything useful and it's overall very stressful to me. May be it gets easier once you get sprinklers and whatnot, but early game was anything but casual and fun for me.
I completely understand. It was very overwhelming for me at first and sometimes can still be overwhelming depending on how my computer is working lol
If you ever decide you want to try it again I highly recommend modding it (and I would be happy to send you what I use). That said it's not a bad thing to play other games if you like them better :) games should be fun not stressful imo
Edit: removed the extra "my"
Sure, please let me know what mods you use
I like "Traveler's Rest" because the game doesn't force you to keep regular hours at your tavern. If you want, you can spend the whole day crafting and restocking until you're ready to deal with customers again.
