LET’S PLAY
Games with no goals
Tired of videogame to-do lists? Stop chasing trophies and leave the leaderboards behind – these games are meant to be enjoyed in their purest forms. Tap and play away.
Build bliss
Soak up the sun, rein in some rainbows and soothe your psyche with the satisfying idle game My Oasis, where the only objective is to craft your own personal paradise.
Trees flourish, animals appear and flowers bloom with each tap, expanding a relaxing world that you shape and control.
Swing away
In the mesmerising Desert Golfing, drag, aim and release to drive a golf ball across a barren landscape. There’s no need to worry about clubs, scores, or sunburn: just let yourself fall into the rhythm of this endless golf game as you swing for the pin.
Keep it rolling
It’s impossible to fail in Magic Shot, so don’t worry about pocketing the eight ball. You’ll know you’ve passed a stage in this meditative take on billiards when the table morphs shape.
Just enjoy the soothing electronic soundtrack and take aim.
Treat yourself
Drop any expectations about what a game typically looks like and sink into #SelfCare’s cosy vibes. It’s a medium for taking a moment (or several) to centre yourself.
Tasks include appreciating the purr of a contented cat, drawing a tarot card and watching the clouds go by.
Surf the sands
Skim along soft-hued desert dunes in Alto’s Odyssey. The stunning sequel to the award-winning Alto’s Adventure features lots of aerial acrobatics and challenging goals in its standard mode; for an endlessly relaxing change of pace, glide into Zen mode.
