I own around 300 titles on Steam, with at least 200 considered relaxed or easygoing. Are there specific categories you dislike? Would you prefer the list to be concise?
Playing Civ 5 often relaxes you a bit but keeps you engaged because it feels like strategy. Borderlands offers a fast-paced FPS vibe with RPG elements similar to Skyrim, plus humor and a story—give it a shot. League of Legends resembles Dota in its MOBA style. For something lighter, try TV or anime; they’re a whole different vibe.
I enjoy playing TF2 when I'm not just "playing a game." It's really straightforward and you don't get too caught up. I'd also suggest trying a racing game. Back in the day, I had Grid, PGR4, F1 2011, and F1 2013 on my old PC before moving to a PC. I mostly picked up Grid, Grid 2, and those F1 titles during the last Steam sale. If you can, lower the opponent AI a bit and get a longer track with a good soundtrack—it really pairs well with an FPS.
