Sorry I haven't replied to anyone, life got a little crazy. I did not expect this many replies on lemmy! Thank you everyone, and I will be checking out a bunch of these! Thank you so much. :) I really appreciate it.

So, I hope this allowed, if not, I'll remove.

I have a small problem, y'all. I'm a filthy casual, and don't game often. But right now, due to a lot of very stressful things going on, I'm having trouble sleeping. I'd like a game I can play on the deck for an hour or two at night to get sleepy. Here's where the hard part comes in:

It's gotta be cheap (25 or less)

It needs to be not-stressful to play, as in, it works well on the deck, with no fiddling, because I am a dumb and don't understand things

I don't actually know what kind of game I want. I don't care for FPS games, I don't have the time/patience/money for online multiplayer stuff, and I'm not super in super heavy action games.

I like puzzles, platformers, laid back games. Open world is great. Very small games are fun, but I need something that I can play pretty much every night for a while. I loved portal and the Stanley parable, but I'm burnt out on TSP and I've played both portal games several times. I need something with a little more longevity.

Can anyone help with this not at all reasonable request?

Stardew Valley is $15 USD. It's pretty laid back. Easy to set down and pick back up. I like to play it when my head is all over the place and want something soothing.

Stardew Valley is what I was going to suggest as well. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I’d like it but it was cheap (I bought it fir the Switch) and it has been worth every cent so far.

There’s so much that you can do but nothing you really have to do if that makes sense. There’s very few missable elements (if any) and it’s surprisingly deep if that’s how you want to do things.

Get this one OP.

I’d disagree only in the sense that Stardew Valley is not easy to set down for me. It’s never helped me get to sleep, only stay up way past when I should.
