From 'Islanders' to 'Townscaper,' a handful of titles are designed to soothe your frazzled brain with minimalist, puzzle-like calm.

I am looking for more games like this: though this list seems like a good starting point.

Anybody have any recommendations or experiences with city builders (the less-stressful variety, not like Frostpunk or something haha)

Thanks!

Terra Nil is mentioned in the article but I must give it a recommendation, it’s very chill and restoring a wasteland or ruined city to a thriving ecosystem is a great counterpoint to building a bustling city.

I’ve seen a lot of reviews criticize it’s length to price ratio. What are your thoughts on that?

I’ve finished the game and yes, it’s price is too steep. I’d buy it half off. There’s some sort of replayability but it’s small and most might not do it. It’s still a fun game and highly recommend, but not for the full price.

On mobile, it’s included with Netflix – I played it at no extra cost

I’ve not finished it yet due to limited gaming time but it’s clearly not that long. It feels like it should have some replayability but I don’t think it’s very unreasonably priced. Probably not ideal if you’re looking to squeeze every hour of entertainment out of your dollar though.
