But I'm enjoying rogue lites / vampire survivors like games. There's a billion of them so you can just chill with one of them. I usually find a new one every other day too, some demo or whatever
Risk of rain 2 is also not something I would call a chill game. But it's definitely something you can just fire up and play for an hour
DOTA2 turbo mode, done in 20-30 minutes, and the try bards that take the mode serious are hilarious
Why are there so many suggestions of Zelda BotW over TotK imo this thread? I've only played the latter but my understanding is it's pretty much the same game with more to do. And since Nintendo games rarely go on sale you are probably looking at a very similar price tag.

Just started a new colony yesterday because an update was released with new tools and content. The colony I was playing up until that point was almost 3000 cycles old.
It's on sale on Steam in my region, I've heard a lot of good things before so gonna check it out!
C&C Generals World Builder. I just make maps while I'm in discord.
It's stimulating enough that it keeps my mind from wandering from a conversation, but brainless enough to be engaged in the conversation.
I'm also partial to Minecraft. Just decorate a little section then log off until tomorrow
Skyrim or Fallout 4 when I want to chill as an adventurous muderer
Earth Defense Force when I want to blow shit up
Dinkum is a really good Stardew Valley/Animal Crossing mix. If you like either, you'll likely end up like me, playing "just a bit" and realizing over 4 hours flew by.
burnout paradise. I'll just put on a podcast and drive around. Sometimes I'm seeking out races, or new best times on roads. Sometimes I'm just driving around more or less obeying traffic laws like a reasonable citizen.
Honestly, some visual novels like Ace attorney, Katawa shoujo, Steins Gate, Clannad are very chill.
Dwarf Fortress.
Theme Hospital.
The Sims.
Games that I can mostly play hands off.
I play Hades, but I cheat.
It's super fun to see what kind of ridiculous combinations of powers and weapons you can create when you aren't worried about money or resources in any way shape or form.
I had a Hermes Build for Max speed that did bonus damage based on speed bonuses, Ares for Blade rift when dodging, and some Athena for some invulnerability.
Sprinting around the levels like the flash and absolutely nuking everybody with blade rifts is just too much fun.
Harvest Moon /Story of Season games.
Stardew Valley.
Diner Dash series of games.
Dead Cells. I can just... Zone out and go. It's really cathartic, and if I do particularly bad during a run, I just... Die and start over. You don't lose anything you've gained, (unless you pick something up in a biome and don't make it to the exit), and each run is practically a new game that requires nothing to learn it. It's my Zen game.
World of Warcraft Retail.
Mars First Logistics & Animal Crossing
Stacklands, inscription, forza.
Stacklands was surprisingly addicting
Inscription was fun and challenging but not too crazy if you get creative ;)
Forza - I mean really any game where I can drive around. Fun to try to hit some corners sharp or do some tricks in gta.
Not a long or super replayable game like some of these answers but Jusant is super chill.
I have several games for a lazy evening on the sofa, so it depends on the mood.
I hoard virtual cars, tanks and ships, so I pick CSR2 when I want to do an event there (daily boring grinding tasks are automated). When I want to shoot I either junp in World of Tanks Blitz or World of Warships Blitz.
When in a mood where I want to just tap around, I dust off Hay Day.
Gershwin Impact has been on the tablet, but after a few attempts to play it, it's removed again. Looks nice, but not my style, yet.
I usually listen to music and play driving games like Forza Horizon, BeamNG, or Dirt.
Also roguelike games like Deadly Days.
