Guitar Hero 2/3 on the easiest difficulty setting are relaxing for me because you can just jam and enjoy the music without worrying too much about failing the songs like you do on the harder settings.

What mode do you normally play Magical Drop 3 on? I always tend to do story but I might start doing Puzzle mode to mix it up!

Currently it's the Special Mode in RayCrisis on the PS1. Beautifully abstract polygons moving in 60 frames per second to a tailored Zuntata score? Encroachment? WTF?! Yes, all that & more...

Symphony of the Night. No matter how I play it, it just feels like flowing zen.

Streets of Rage 2 relaxes me. Something about breaking a galsia's back with Max is relaxing for me.

Never thought of SOR 2, but I love playing it!!
I play it whenever I get a chance, and come to think of it is a relaxing g way to pass the time.

Online gaming wise SFV. Never really get salty love notes since the system makes it harder to send them and I keep my ranking points low so I can play and chill rather then get serious about it. Also TMNT '89 chills me out.

Offline 3rd Strike. I'll just screw around and not have a care in the world. Also TTT2 for some reason usually chills me out. Been switching to Tekken 6 just because I never really ranked up anybody, but it's just not the same.

Ray Tracers (PS1/Taito) -- this little successor to Chase H.Q. delivers relaxation through demolition. You glide through fictional cities & landscapes to a nice soundtrack with fine controls and an arcadey minimalism. I recommend Hawk's car, the blue one &... just keep the nitro flowing ;).

Usually Battlefield 1 as there's something satisfying about lodging a bayonet,shovel or hatchet into your opponent. Otherwise I find games like Front Mission relaxing, currently working my way through 4.

Aeroblasters for me. The stage 1 bgm is so relaxing and perfectly in-sync with the stage layout. Even if I haven't played the game in a long time and no longer have it down, it's still non-stressful to casually play through ass far as I can. It always feels comfortable.
