Try out Star Control 2 for a comfy space exploration game. It gets a bit repetitive at times, and the in-game timer is a bit frustrating during your first playthrough, but it's free online under the Ur-Quan Masters fan project.
Yoshi's Island is a comfy SNES game, I always play that for a fun, nostalgic time.
You could also try Mario Paint for awhile. It's not quite revolutionary, nor is it the best drawing/music program out there, but man is it fun and a good way to wind down.
There's also the early Harvest Moon games, though I've only ever played the one on the N64

ooh I recognise Star Control 2 from somewhere, though i'm no 100% sure where from, deffo gonna slap that on my backlog; it looks a little bit like those star wars space fighting sims they put out on DOS.
SNES is top comf yee, just finished another playthrough of super metroid funnily enough.

If you like space type stuff i deffo would reccomend colony wars on ps1, such a fun and atmospheric game, much like a lot of the ps1 library really.

Star Control 2 is probably my all time favorite game, though to be fair I've played the game for years and know it like the back of my hand. When I first played, it was a rather indescribable experience. I adored it and the way they portrayed all the characters, but on the other hand it takes a lot of practice to get good with every ship you'll be potentially using in the campaign and a little bit of luck too. The lander minigame is a little bit repetitive too, but it's honestly the most comfy and relaxing part about the game if you land on the right planets.
also it definitely shows symptoms of 90's game design and basically requires you to have a notebook or pad nearby to jot down notes and key information you get from alien races. at least you have a whole heckin' lot of save slots though.

>SNES is top comf
oh goodness I agree. I used to play the SNES so much when I was a kid, and I despite having all my old game consoles, the SNES is always the one I break out and play for days on end. I never played Super Metroid, I was always a bigger fan of the platformers like Donkey Kong Country and Yoshi's Island.
>colony wars on ps1
I'll have to check it out actually. I never owned a ps1 so I've missed out on a lot of absolute classics. Thanks for the suggestion!
