Best games to vent frustration and /or relieve stress

[Modulok]

In my opinion games are right up there with punching bags and a cold bottle of Samuel Adams in regard to things that can help you vent frustration or relieve stress. What are the games that helped you take the edge off after a stressful day at work, a hard night of studying, or a bad breakup? No genre restrictions and any game past or present will work. For me it is the following:

God of War (ps2) - When I was sick off people's crap

A simple game of solitaire on my desktop - great for breaks in between intense study sessions in college

Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction - when I was mad at the world in general and wanted to destroy everything around me while surfing on a crushed bus

megaman zero 1 for gba is a game I frequently go back to along side astro boy for the gba when I wanna blow some steam. Devil may cry is also a great choice in my opinion! 🤗

I usually go for a walk around town just thinking about life and stuff when I want to relieve stress. In FFXIV.

Saint's row 4, just a lot of fun to fuck shit up with superpowers.

Power fantasies are great for venting.

[Satsuki]

Great game to mess around without a care.

Animal Crossing. Or really anything laid back to kind of unwind.

Venting frustration? Anything with a lot of explosions. Maybe a COD campaign. Or good old fashion Halo 2 or 3. Oh. Borderlands. Back when you could mod guns hehehe.

BeamNG's soft body physics can be fun to crash vehicles around with

Stardew Valley, there is something oddly soothing in running around frantically collecting starfruits and placing them in a keg.

I can't seem to play games when stressed. I'd rather figure out how to not be stressed or address whatever is stressing me out. If there is nothing I can do about the situation though, then I'll probably just blow up robots in Mechwarrior Online.

A good speed run of classic Doom.

I may be alone here, but... I don't play video games to relive stress or get a fix from an addiction. That shit seems bonkers to me.

[Modulok]

Fair enough. To each their own.

Flower on PlayStation is such a simple game and easy game. When I played it, it was the most relaxing thing I've ever played. It's like a video game lullaby.
To bad all my PS3 controllers don't work or I would be playing it more often to just to calm me down.
