Favourite areas to drive in. I can lose myself with the midwestern radio on.

Great comfort game indeed along with Euro Truck Simulator.
Also Heroes Of Might An Magic 3.

Stardew Valley. Such a good game to unwind with your significant other. My fiance doesnt game but I got her to play with me and we spent countless hours building our farm together. So many chill lazy days spent on the couch with this game, I miss it

I have hundreds of hours in Stardew, and coming up to thirteen years with my missus, and I can confidently say that I'd end up smashing my controller into my 65-inch TV once she'd start dictating to me in that game.

Hahahah we never fight over the game but I think it's because we both know our roles. I'm really impatient and hate doing things she enjoys in game designing the layout of the farm, placing sprinklers, all that kind of stuff so it works out that we always have our own tasks n if we get bored we switch em up for a bit.

Thing is, that I gun to do the Community Centre within a year, and I try to get max stars from the shrine after two, so I have a system.

Then again, I've never had a pretty farm...

I love these types of games but they oft seem very overpriced

In a sense they are, but that's sort of the territory of dedicated simulators. They aren't seen so much as games as digital hobbycraft.

Take a look at the DLC for DCS Flight Sim, that'll make your head spin.

My son loves gaming. He is 9. My fault. I'd love to steer him into something with a connection to reality. Maybe something a tad more peaceful.

These kinds of truck sims and such - any recommendations? Ideally with maximum openworld and maximum interaction.


No. Not GTA 😂

For some reason, I never learned how to 'start' Stardew. I kinda just wandered aimlessly and gave up.
 
You know what's strange? Lately I haven't been playing any relaxing games. Everything I've been playing is high-stress, anxiety-inducing stuff.

If you want to have a constant heart attack play Amnesia: The Bunker.

Seriously it's the greatest Survival Horror game of all time. It's even better than RE1 Remake. It has immersive sim gameplay, and a single antaogonist that relentlessly pursues and tries to outsmart you. It's Hunt The Wumpus. It's a game of chess against a monster.

Play it, guys.

Sim City 5, the online game, I thought was great-excellent. The super hero and villain structures you could build was a nice touch.


I picked up Battle Brothers, FTL: Faster Than Light, and Space Run for around 15 bucks on Steam. You build things, basically.

That Battle Brothers is something else. You build up these teams. It's quite intricate.

I have been really liking that Battle Brothers, FTL, and Space Run.

Love American/Euro Truck Sim. Idaho and Colorado are great locations for sure, I've been in those areas a lot lately achievement hunting. Devs are doing a great job with their DLC

In Euro Truck my favourite places are Switzerland and Austria, although the Scandinavian countries also have lots of charm

Dave the Diver is another great shout ITT

As for a new suggestion, Crime Scene Cleaner really did it for me recently. I also played Powerwash Simulator which is another game that fits the bill (It has a sequel coming out later this month)

i turned ETS2 into eurasia and eurafrica simulator. got like over 150 mods on that bad boy. over 550 thousand kilometers of road and thousands of cities. i have nearly 300 drivers now and i'm getting income like every damn minute in the game now.

got into ATS kinda recently. running version 1.57.2 with all the dlc's and shit too. modded that out a good bit too. got over 350,000 kilometers of road and a few thousand cities. though it doesnt seem as vast as ETS2 after what i did to it. it's almost insane. and there's still alot of shit that i didn't really bother with. i tried to start off with a hardcore economy mod but after driving for around 5000 km and only getting a couple grand out of it i realized that this kind of a grind ain't for me so i reverted it back.
