What are some relaxing games to play on the Steam Deck?

-

Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for a chill game to play on my Steam Deck. I usually dive into strategy games and RPGs, mainly from Paradox. I’m familiar with Stardew Valley, although I’ve yet to give it a try because I’m worried I won’t get into it. I’m open to all sorts of suggestions! What are your go-to relaxing games? Here’s a bit about my gaming history and preferences:

– **Previous Favorites**: Stellaris, Hearts of Iron 4, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Cyberpunk 2077, Total War, Oxygen Not Included, Gwent, Baldur’s Gate 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Fallout series, Elder Scrolls series.
– **Genres I Enjoy**: Strategy, indie games, simulators, card games, and RPGs.
– **Budget**: Looking to spend between 10-20 euros.
– **Other Notes**: I’m after a game that offers a relaxing vibe with great music and perhaps some managing aspects.

I totally recommend “A Short Hike.” It’s a short, yet incredibly chill adventure that you can finish in a sitting. The scenery is beautiful, and the gameplay is relaxing—perfect for the Steam Deck!
