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!

I did just get invaded a little, but otherwise you spend way more time building in Stardeus…

Say no more.

Btw I recall there were several of these developed at the same time, one by chucklefish (edit: starmancer) I think, did this one “win out”?

I can’t say really, but I only just picked it up, and it’s a strong recommend from me.

While that game is absolutely capable of being like this, it’s also capable of being more like a cutscene from a Bungie Halo game
