Are there any games that you put into your console (or PC) just to walk around at a relatively slow pace to soak in the atmosphere and relax? While it's not the only, nor necessarily my favorite, one of the most recent games was Red Dead Redemption 2 which I decided to go back to. I didn't do a lot of running, and when on my horse I didn't do a lot of galloping, it was just holding the stick forward and having the character walk forward, taking in the views and the sounds of waterfalls, leaves rustling; trees cracking; rainstorms, and all the other things like its city life with carriages roaming about, people talking, church bell ringing, and the sound of theatre.
Another is Spider-Man which I really enjoy. I'm not sure if I'm in the minority or not, but I actually find city life sounds kind of relaxing (at least from a distance). The swinging is a whole lot of fun in the game, but I also really enjoy just standing atop buildings (like the Freedom Tower or Avengers tower) and watching the ferries on the Hudson River, the planes and helicopters fly around, the skyline and just the city in general. Then there's also getting onto the ground and walking around; the detail Insomniac put into the stuff you do below what takes up a lot of your time in the game, which is swinging, is great. Are there games you have which you go to for that kind of thing? I think a new game might be Days Gone; I may end up coming back to it at some point after I've finished it.
