Like, games that you have played through multiple times, but you still like to replay them from time to time because you can just relax and have a good time without too much hassle.
For me some are Dark Souls 1&2 and Borderlands 1, I can play them without too much thoughts about what I’m doing, but still be focused enough so no bad thoughts appear.

Atelier series games
I replay the Star Craft campaigns once a year. Wings of liberty in particular is always fun.
Red Dead Redemption 2 - played all the way through 3 times. Now I’ll just load up in a random chapter and just enjoy the game and atmosphere. Sometimes I’ll go a play a mission where I get you go nuts, or just load up go camping with my horse and explore the map. Or I’ll make up my own challenges. Like hijacking a train to see how far around the map I could make it before getting shot. Or seeing how many racist/KKK members I can burn alive.
Chess. (lichess)
Doom and DoomII. I’ve been playing those for 30 years. It’s like meditation I love 'em.
- Age of empires 2
- Morrowind
- Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
I do not think i can ever play minecraft ever again, i feel like I am wasting my life mining a new diamond block for the millionth time. New indy games like Everwind or Abiotic Factor far better satisfy that creative adventure for me, and i enjoy trying new cheaper titles of the survival adventure type.
I miss playing COD, Halo, and Mario Kart at lan parties but those don’t happen as much anymore. I think party games are great with friends.
Super Tux Kart. Saved my life when I had nothing else but suicidal thoughts.
I feel ya, for me it was Terraria in those times. Since currently everything sucks, I might give it a shot(again). <3 Thank you. :3
The important word is “currently”. Hang in there, I hope it’ll suck less soon!

Factorio. Always. Others depends on mods. Minecraft, rimworld and satisfactory are great if mods are good for them. Well mods for Factorio too but playing space age without added content is just always so relaxing to me. Only 5k hours sadly in Factorio.
I kept finding myself coming back to No Man’s Sky. Just peaceful dopamine from numbers go up
Hard Space: Shipbreaker
It’s nigh meditative.
Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
God of war, entire series and horizon
Anything souls, factorio, subnautica, cities skylines 1, humanity, journey, og doom.
