I have a really tough time trying to find games to play when my fatigue is bad. I do have some very laid back games, but those don't always sate the restlessness I end up feeling.

Here is a list of things preventing me from playing certain games when too fatigued:

- Dizziness/vertigo: I always have this. It becomes harder to manage when I am fatigued.
- Photosensitive head pain: harder to manage as well and always present. Flashy effects hurt.
- Brain fog: games with good stories are not his in these moments since focusing on story becomes very mentally teasing.

I've been playing Palia which is great but it's very laid back and doesn't suit those moments when I want a bit more activity from a game.

I wondered if anyone here had suggestions. Sadly first person games are tough when fatigued as are games with heavy story since it's hard to focus. My reflexes are much slower than usual as well.

I would greatly appreciate suggestions.

I would suggest #warframe but it could be a bit to hectic / reflex demanding. Also if you want to get into the end game (after like 80h+), you need to dive deeply into the wiki. Some tips: dont go into railjack but focus more onto the normal starchart.

Other suggestions that come to my mind:

- #stardewvalley relaxing, but you'll propbably find it like #palia to be lacking in activities / a clear "goal" or "next step".

- #minecraft ; pretty much the allrounder. Base is a bit lacking on activities, but if you're dont mind to dive into mods & modpacks you'll pretty much can get every combination of realaxing / demanding gameplay you want.

- #terraria and or #starbound ; both incredibly packed games which a ton to discover and to do. terraria tho is a bit more of a wiki game than starbound. With mods you also can tweak quite a lot (atleast in terraria).

- #factorio relaxing (espc if you play it on easy / no attacks from enemies), but you can sink literally thounds of ours. There is always something to be done. If you like the genre but not so the artstyle, maybe #Satisfactory is more youre style.

- kingdom: classic / kingdom: new lands ; a uniqe strategy game thats challenging sometimes.

- for shooters I quite enjoied #thedivision (not 2; havent really played that one). Either you do the story and have a lot to do, or you simply walk through the city, discover places and lore items / collectibles. Only after the story ends its pretty empty imo.

for more jump'n run based gameplay:
- #iconoclasts a good story that's not too deep or complicated. more of a metroidvania style game.

- #lunistice a little indie game thats made in the form of older sonic games

the rpg side:
- #catquest , a little cute game with a very simple story but you have always something to do imo. Sadly it's a bit short. Theres also #catquest2 with co-op but haven't tested that one.

Hope there's something in the list that might interests you. :3

I can talk more about the one I listed if you want some more infos and might have some more but dont wanna overwhelm you x3333
