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!

    Slipways is a great turn-based scifi empire builder that focuses on colonizing planets and building trade routes (titular slipways) between them to synergize. It has chill soundtrack, pretty visuals, and no war to stress about, your only worry is optimizing your empire layout

      Ooh, thats sounds right up my alley. Used to love civilization and stellaris and those types of games, but war was always my least favorite part of the gameplay. It gets in the way of my perfect empire.
