A lot of video games have become controversial for their violent and sexual content, not to mention the foul language. There's too much of negative content that it has become the subject of criticism among academics and scientific experts regarding its negative effects in a person's behavior. However, it might not be known to a lot of people, even gamers, that there are some "peaceful" video games that are guaranteed to drive stress away.
Proteus
In Proteus, players take the role of an explorer in a mysterious island. Here the player experiences each season change along with the color and the scenery change. The visuals are simple but the colors along with the sounds of nature in the background transport you to a real-life park where all you have to do is walk and enjoy nature.
Journey
According to a review, players should give Journey" the same attention you might bring to a musical concert, a well-directed film, or a long-awaited book, and its rewards are substantial." The game is about an emotional yet rather cryptic pilgrimage filled with breathtaking aesthetics that you will find yourself totally immersed in the game.
Unfinished Swan
The game looks like it's for children but as you play, you'll find yourself in gleeful child-like wonder as you paint the world around you. Unfinished Swan takes you to a world where everything is white and your objective is to bring color to it by painting it to create a new world.
Dear Esther
This game has an element of spookiness to it but who says spooky can't be relaxing? This is a short game where you are taken to a beautiful but mysterious island. You have to explore it while the narrator tells the story of the people who lived there - both the living and the dead. Then, there's the hauntingly sad orchestra music in the background which gives the game its sad artistic feel.
Flower
The game is from the same company that gives you Journey. The game is pretty simple as you take the role of a flower petal gliding over glades and garden while collecting other petals along the way.
