I’m always on the lookout for non-violent low-stress games. I do like exploration. Games like A Short Hike are few and far between.

I thought Death Stranding was supposed to be less-stressful but I’m quite near the start and so far I’ve got to worry about items degrading, inventory management and enemies. I was just looking for more of a peaceful walking simulator game. I wish more games had a non-combat option, or maybe a “Jesus take the wheel” mode for the stressful bits that turns it into more of an interactive cutscene.

There are lots of non-violent low stress games. It's just a challenge to find the good ones. Some ones I have enjoyed
