Glad to hear you survived the hurricane Dominik and have found some relaxing titles to get stuck in to.

I genuinely couldn’t think of a relaxing video game, so good to see some modern suggestions to try. Although I’ve been playing Lego Worlds with my son and as a fan of Lego all my life I find this rather relaxing and good fun to play.

I then started to think about my Megadrive and Amiga and what games were relaxing on them, which again wasn’t easy and I’d say these are more stress relievers than relaxing but in no particular order the following came to mind, Populous, Benefactor, Dune - music is sublime and chilled, Streets of Rage 2 - again for the music and the best-em to a pulp satisfaction and finally Road Rash- nothing quite like bashing your rider opponent over the head with a bat and watching them tumble off down the road.

Is lowering the difficulty cheating, no I wouldn’t say so, it’s a nice option as you say being able to do so to help progress the story. Nothing worse than an insane boss battle or level that drives you to full on red faced madness!
