Plus, waiting to see if I got accepted to this Masters program I had applied to and not knowing what I’d do if I didn’t get in, I was on pins and needles for about a month and desperately craving for a simpler alternate life to lose myself in (heck, I even installed FF14! You know when you resort to time sinking MMOs something’s horribly wrong). The last time I played one of these was back in June of last year when I reviewed Summer in Mara, so I was definitely overdue for some gaming rest and relaxation. Games like Moonlighter, Graveyard Keeper, My Time at Portia, Spiritfarer, Summer in Mara (my favorite of these), and of course, the ever-influential title that single-handedly started off the genre’s resurgence, Stardew Valley, are the safe havens I take shelter in when even a couple rounds of Hades seems like too much effort (the gaming equivalent of not being able to get out of bed).
It goes without saying then, that I’m a fan of farming/life sims as well.

I’m a huge fan of anything zen in games – from pretending fast-travel doesn’t exist in Skyrim or Ping as a taxi driver in GTA, to intentionally zen titles like the underwater exploration game Abzu, the original Strand-type game Mudrunner and its sequel Snowrunner, to the indie darling A Short Hike- these are what I play to unwind after a stressful day or when my anxiety picks up.
