So recently, I ended up getting sick from an event I went to. I took sick leave from my employment, and I have a few days to rest. I don’t want to just stay in bed, however.
So, what games do you like to play when your sick? Something that doesn’t require too much thinking to play.

Stardew valley and terraria
Terraria has an option to pause while in menus, which is useful when you’re sick and might suddenly need to run to the bathroom at any time.
Derail Valley Simulator is actually quite chill, once you have an idea of how to handle your trains. I have almost $7,000,000 saved up to see how big of a boom I can cause without going into debt, or hurting my engines and caboose.
I’d recommend emulating some nostalgic games from your childhood, ones you’ve played to death and wouldn’t mind any sudden interruptions of since you’ve seen everything a hundred times.
Basically, the video game equivalent of putting on old sitcoms.
When my sick, close eyes and rest.
Deep rock survivor. No thought required. Break rocks. Guns will sort out the test on their own.
EarthBound?
Zelda: The Wind Waker.
There’s a part where you heal a sick person, toward the middle.
Also, a kid with a snot drip hanging from his nose, in the beginning.
I would recommend playing a mediocre game you don’t intend to replay. If you’re anything like me, I associate movies and games with the feeling of sickness I felt watching it. So Shadow of the Colossus, for some reason, is strongly associated with the feeling I had being home sick playing it as a teenager. I still replay it but have that kind of aftertaste of the memory lol. I similarly associate the movie Dark City with having chicken pox!
Games that are turn based or allow you to pause or control speed:
- xcom
- city builders
- sims
- anno
- paradox games (probably just stellaris since that has difficulty settings)
- cRPGs
- card games like slay the spire
also
- minecraft
- mmos that don’t require you to think, guildwars 2 just let’s you run around and auto attack that’s pretty effective…
I played The Last of us Part 2 and the OG Alan Wake while sick. Both are pretty linear narrative games with little to no puzzles.
Hades 2
