I'm been playing League of Mermaids lately and it has a fantastically relaxing ambience and yet is also heaps of fun. One of those hidden gems on Steam ツ

FEZ, Hexcells, Audiosurf, Eurotruck Simulator 2, Stardew Valley ... and all those HOGs! :-P

Talos Principle is strangely soothing. As is Six sides of the world.

- 1 Talos. The whole experience is really relaxing from the music to the narrators voice to the aesthetic look on the whole. I didn't even get annoyed / angry whenever I messed up any of the puzzles - unlike various other puzzle games I've played. The game is well worth getting when it comes on sale (if you don't already have it).

I'm a try hard stealth gamer. After hours of intense sneaking around I also feel the strong need of some relaxing games. I really enjoyed KNIGHTS, it's a chess puzzle game. Apart from that, Telltale games, Swordbreaker The Game, 12 Labours of Hercules (1st one if possible as it has room for error so it won't stress you), some easygoing tower defense games like Fort Defense, Catch a Falling Star, Iron Snout (free on Steam), any hidden object game would be my recommendations.

Euro Truck Simulator 2. I bought it on a sale, expecting I wouldn't enjoy it much, but it's really relaxing and peaceful to drive around and enjoy the scenery of all the different countries.

+1 It's really relaxing and actually pretty fun to just drive around in.

Brothers A Tale of Two Sons. Very sweet and relaxing game, does get a bit emotional towards the end though

A lot of games listed.

Eurotruck simulator is the ultimate relaxing game. It just feels zen.
Stardew is another good one.

Project Zomboid
Although it is a zombie game, you could turn off zombies entirely and turn it into a casual last man alive survival scenario where you just search for goods, build houses, farm, fish, etc...
Cities Skylines
Great game if you were ever a lover of SimCity games. Has some flaws, but still fun for awhile.
Every other suggestion I had you already own so yah... That's it.

You can turn off zombies in Project Zomboid?!?!
Playing on a really really bad PC right now but I've wanted that game forever. It never struck me as relaxing but then again I didn't know you could just turn off the zombies.... so you just walk around and build stuff then?

Sorry for delayed response, but yes, settings for the game are highly customizable. I've played with zombies completely turned off before, was nice. You can customize all sorts of things, like electricity and water shutoff date ranges, rarity of different types of loot, how abundant harvests are from farming, how abundant fish are, and goods to forage in the woods, etc etc etc. They've done a lot of updates that really add to the game too, the demo leaves out a lot. You can go around collecting furniture and electronics from houses around the map to put in your own constructed bases (which you can make look like a house by plastering, painting, getting windows from other houses), making your own custom home (picture below of one I made). You can even steal flowers, shrubbery, all sorts of stuff, lol. The exception is objects that take up more then 1 tile, like wide couches, or beds. They've also updated woodstoves to use wood, making winter months more manageable, and not having to cook out doors over a fire. Personally, I love the game, it's my favorite zombie and survival game around. Only reason I'm not playing it lately is because friends have me playing Arma 3 Exile-Z with them.

Any Hidden Object Game usually does the trick for me. Here's a super cheap bundle for 6 of them, and they all have trading cards which almost pays for 2 bundles if you pay the 1.53 USD...

I'm currently playing Eidolon and it is pretty relaxing. You may want to play a point and click game. I recently played Dropsy and found it quite relaxing.
I made a list of some games that I have played that I found relaxing, but it looks like you have played them all already. I'm not sure if you have actually played them or maybe you just idled them for cards.
Eidolon
Dropsy
Grow Home
A Bird Story
Mind: Path To Thalamus
Shelter
VVVVVV
One game that you don't own that I really enjoyed and found very relaxing is Miasmata. The only problem is that it is hard to recommend this game because it certainly isn't for everyone. It is 100% indie made completely by 2 brothers (including the game engine), so it is not a polished game has has some aspects that some people may not like. The game also does not have much to do. Basically you were deserted on an island and you have the plague. The objective of the game is just to explore the island collecting plants and testing them to see if they can be used to create a cure for the plague.
One aspect of the game that I really liked is the exploring. Your map is blank and you must plot locations on it yourself. You can find some map pieces that you can add, but then to find your location on the map and add new locations to it, you have to find 2 know locations within your view and use your compass to triangulate your position on the map. I found this quite fun and relaxing.
There is also Proteus and The Long Dark. I have not played these two games yet.

That sounds pretty relaxing :) I haven't played it yet, so I don't know if I will like it. I do like games where you spend the majority of the time just walking around in the woods, but there is usually something to do, even if minimal like in Eidolon.

Just in the mood, y'know?
I remember I used to play minecraft to relax as I could just zone out and chill building a house or something. Really helped take my mind of stuff.
That was a few years ago. I could probably re-download it and have a go again, and I have other things in my library to try, but thought I'd ask for any other suggestions here as well, out of interest.
Any one got any go-to relaxing games? :)
