I’m talking barebones. Tetris. Picross-like. Something that requires very little thought and is addictive.
For background, the reason I’m asking is because I recently read that researchers found that participants in a study on traumatic events saw that people who played tetris during their recovery had less traumatic response/activation over time? I’m currently going through a pretty traumatic time in life and am just looking for games that activate my lizard brain to forget about the hard times for a little while. Thanks in advance.
I would also add the survivor genre (games like vampire survivor) once you get started the genre is just like a therapy. Gameplay is repetitive but addictive and can be good played in short or longer sessions and there are a ton of games in this genre for every taste and most of the time they are cheap as well.
