Ok /v/ tell me after playing through a long/hard game what do you play as kind of a brain reset before going to another?

Taking a break from games by playing another game seems odd, but to answer you question, probably whatever game allows you to play on autopilot. Games like Pokemon and life sims are convenient to pick up and put down whenever.

OP here.
I don't think I phrased the thread right. I'd say it more like "Simple games you like to play inbetween complex ones."

Serious Sam if I'm burned out from bad mechanics
KotOR if I'm burned out from bad story/lore.

If that's the case I usually end up playing a platformer or Doom.

Postal 1&2 and EDF series are games i tend to go back, even if just to play a few minutes of them after i give up on searching on new games to play or also when i feel dazed after clearing a long game.

Old arcade beat em ups are great.
The capcom Dungeons and Dragons ones come to mind.

the hunter call of the wild. idk but sneaking around in bushes and making autistic noises to attract animals is quite fun
i hate all the other simulator games and would never play them

Emulated games are always a good choice. Something that doesn't require much investment to get going and that I can feel satisfied when I put it down, like Bomberman games.

Any top-down shooter. Smash TV has been my go-to for 25+ years, but sometimes I'll substitute it for things like Crimsonland, Neon Chrome, Nuclear Throne and such.

Only when I was at the arcades. But I bought the cart for my NES, SNES and then eventual emulators. So I've always had the game in some form or fashion ever since I learned how to emulate stuff.

maybe between games complete something in another hobby, seems like a better idea. Granted for me if I just finished a lengthy single player game I'd spend some time with a multiplayer game I like before starting up the next one. something where I can hop in to some matches solo que and just play for focus on winning for a bit

Smash TV was designed for credit feeding, not the 1CC mindset. You can't judge it by jap shmup autist standards.

I just fuck around in oblivion/morrowind/fallout new vegas.
or play games like pokemon, the binding of isaac or mario kart.
oddly enough also dark souls 1 is a pretty relaxing game once you know how to play it.
