I've been really struggling to unplug my brain after a heavy week at work and I always overthink my free time, to the point where I don't know what I'd prefer to do.

What's your 'go to' way to relax or disconnect from real life?

Thanks!

I've played Fallout 4 and slime rancher, and yeah I agree they're nice games

I really enjoy The Long Dark in pilgrim/easy mode.

A) no other game captures walking in the woods during winter the way this one does. Brings me right back to growing up in the bush in Eastern Ontario.
B) it’s a walking/scavenging/survival game in an empty of people world. On easy mode you don’t need to worry about the predators and the survival elements are more realistic than punishing as in higher difficulties.

They’ve recently added some interior design elements so you can find an abandoned cabin and just hole up in a quiet world. It’s a really nice escape I find.
