I don't know if you feel it, but now there are more and more game content, and it is becoming more and more complex. Often a so-called 3A masterpiece needs to learn and explore for a long time if you want to get started, and you are physically and mentally exhausted after playing for a long time. So this time, I will bring you some games with completely different styles on Steam, and they are also the most suitable games for leisure and relaxation in my mind, so that everyone can say goodbye to the same monster fighting upgrades and enjoy the ease and enjoyment brought by the game.
1. Stardew Valley
If I want to talk about who is the only true god in casual games, then the first thing that comes to my mind must be Stardew Valley. For players like me who love Ranch Story, Stardew Valley was the perfect solution to my craving for this kind of farm-based game when it first launched, and I couldn't stop playing it for hours.
The style of the game is also the main casual farming and management gameplay, players start from scratch step by step to develop their own farm, daily life is free to choose, farming, sheep herding, fishing, mining or with the town's NPC to enhance the relationship, how comfortable and how to come. Although it is said that the game was imitated in the early days of Ranch Story, it has to be said that after various major updates in the past few years, Stardew Valley has completely surpassed Ranch Story and become the leader of this type of game.
2. Raft survival
Raft Survival is a special game in that it is a survival game at sea, where the player is born in the middle of the ocean at the beginning of the game and has only a plank under his feet and a hook on his hands. All you have to do is to use the hook in your hand to obtain various materials and materials floating on the sea, build a large ship with small planks under your feet, and finally find out the truth of the world according to the main story mission.
It's a fun game to play solo, but if you have friends, I highly recommend playing online with your friends, and the fun will be doubled immediately. The game supports up to 4 people leveling up, one person can be responsible for expanding the hull, one person is responsible for searching for supplies, one person is responsible for the logistics of the ship, etc., this kind of multi-person cooperation to survive in the vast sea is particularly wonderful, and finally watching the big ship you and your friends build together is also quite fulfilling.
3. Deep Trek
If the previous raft survival game style was based on relaxation and casual, then the game style of Deep Trek may be slightly hardcore, because it is not about survival at sea, or survival at sea, and the bottom of the game is also more realistic, like many deep-sea areas still look scary, so it may dissuade a group of players with deep-sea phobia at the beginning.
However, the quality of the game is quite good, and if you don't reject the deep-sea atmosphere, then this game will give you a different sense of exploration than on land. Unlike Raft Survival, Deep Sea Trek is a pure single-player game with no online elements, focusing on the atmosphere of a lonely person surviving at the bottom of the sea, which is highly recommended by players who like the loneliness and mystery of the deep sea, and there should be no second game of this kind on the market.
4. Traveler's rest
The above two games focus on exploration, and the Traveler's Rest is a little more casual in comparison, and the main gameplay of the game is to run a tavern, which has expanded from the original tavern to a comprehensive hotel. In the game, there is not only the management part, but also the construction gameplay, the farm gameplay, and the interaction with NPCs. The graphics of the game are also pixel style, which is a little more relaxing to play than 3D games, and players who like to simulate management should not miss it.
5. On the other hand, Yanda
This is a domestic stand-alone game of cultivating immortals + farming,The reason why I recommend it is mainly because it combines my favorite elements of cultivating immortals + farming gameplay,Although the overall quality of the game is not very good,But it is also a good level in similar games,It's enough to immerse me in it for dozens of hours。
Because there are elements of cultivating immortals, the game also has a setting similar to the realm of cultivating immortals, and there are also various secret adventures, through which you can get treasures, but after all, it is a casual game, so the difficulty is not high. It's the farming part of the game that's more liver.,Anyway, when I played it before, I felt that the farming part of the gameplay was more cumbersome, and the repetition was relatively high and easy to get tired of.,In the official version, I believe it should optimize this part of the experience.。
6. Dave, the diver
Last year's Dark Horse Game also won the honor of TGA's Best Indie Game of the Year. The gameplay of the game is mainly divided into two parts, one is the daytime gameplay, the player has to go to different seas to catch various kinds of fish and seafood, and then at night will make various sushi from the seafood caught during the day and sell it in their own restaurants, this kind of day and night two completely different gameplay is still relatively rare.
The biggest advantage of Dave the Diver, in my opinion, is that it can arouse the player's curiosity, such as having to explore more dangerous waters and catch rare fish in order to make better dishes. While exploring these seas, players will also find more unknown creatures of the deep sea, some of which are even extremely dangerous, but the more dangerous they are, the more they can't help but want to explore them. This kind of design that constantly mobilizes players' curiosity to drive players to continue to explore is actually worth learning from many domestic stand-alone games.
7. Zoo Star
This game is actually a game that runs a zoo by looking at the name of the game, and there are actually a lot of this kind of simulation management games, but the main reason why I recommend it is that it has two things that I like very much. One is that I personally love all kinds of animals, so it's worth paying for having and developing my own zoo compared to running other venues.
On the other hand, this game has a very interesting gameplay, that is, the player can put himself in the shoes of any visitor in the zoo and observe the entire zoo from their first perspective. Many simulation players have always had a problem, that is, the results of their hard work can only be viewed from the perspective of God, and this design can perfectly solve this problem, so that players can view their own construction results in an immersive way, which is quite fulfilling.
summary
For players who are already working, sometimes they want to relax after a day of work, so those more popular competitive games and difficult souls games are not only difficult to relax, but sometimes even exhaust us physically and mentally. At this time, this kind of casual farming game is quite suitable for us, the relaxed and casual game style and almost no requirements for the gameplay operation can allow us to fully enjoy the fun of the game, say goodbye to those previous parts of the same monster fighting, peace of mind to be a casual player is not happy.
