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? :)

Mini Metro is pretty relaxing. I like it :)
I cant play it for hours, but for short sessions of 15-60 min its fine for me.

REFUNCT is a nice relaxing game with beautiful yet simple graphics. It is short (fortunately it is cheap as well, only $3) but the ending will certainly make you smile :)

Kindred Spirits on the Roof.

...one of my steam friends told me to play Dark Souls one night when I had trouble sleeping because they found it relaxing. I don't know if anyone else finds it relaxing, though.

Actually you HAVE TO find your inner peace after getting your ass kicked at the beginning :) The game can be really cruel if one is easy to rage.

Eurotruck sim 2. Thats turned into my new sleep aid. Even if Im having the worst insomnia spell, turning the rain slider up all the way and driving almost puts me to sleep everytime.

Banished. Pretty fun city builder type game. Its fun planning out a town.

The Polynomial. Its a rhythm space shooter. You fly around shooting black pacman looking dudes to some music.

Fishing Planet. Its a free to play fishing game. Theres a global chat, but people are usually very friendly, and if I remember right, you can completely turn off the chat if you dont want to see it.

35MM. Its a walking simulator based in a post-apocalyptic Russia. Couple parts near the end that sorta wake you up (shooting segments), but the beginning is pretty nice and slow and relaxing

XCOM 2 on Iron Man mode.

Nah, just kidding, go for some TellTale game like Tales from the Borderlands or Spore.

Sid Mayer's Railroads?
Gone home (kinda short though).
Postal?

Not sure what is relaxing for you ;)

If you like to build things/huge sandboxes without main goal... what about The Sims series?

Haven't seen anyone else mention Crayon Physics Deluxe yet.

I actually found Alien Isolation pretty relaxing but it seems like most people find it intense.

Nightsky, it's a quiet and calm simplistic platformer with an amazing soundtrack. Would highly recommend.

I played a good free trial(demo) of a relaxing game yesterday
the only thing was that it's on origin

It's called Unravel:
https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/free-games/trials

It was really good.

edit: sorry just saw someone recommended it on the previous page

I found Submerged to be a very relaxing game (and one of my favourites of all time).:)
