Videogames have never felt so fun...there's something about enjoying videogames more when it's calm and quiet outside...reminds me of childhood too, when there are fewer people, fewer cars, and life was slower wherr everyone could just enjoy whatever little things they were doing, and we didn't have all these smartphones that and too many distractions, and videogames were just so much fun cause you dedicated most of your time to them. And now, it feels like that again but only now we got all the newer next-gen amazing games to dive into...and ff7 remake is coming out soon along with so many other amazing games in April
Rob you and the team transcend a games journalism channel! You're all so powerfully, infectiously fun and charismatic! Every video you guys have ever produced has always been top quality. And I love how your videos are framed in a such a generous and sincere fashion! You guys are just the pinnacle of youtube. And I was always feeling happier for watching these videos! Thank you!
It’s been said many times before, but I’ll say it again. The PlayStation Access team are all amazing in their own ways and I feel bad Rob sometimes gets the most recognition. But, you really are an exceptional writer and put into words the internets shared love of video games in such an eloquent way. We all appreciate the years of features you have made and the amount of creative energy and love that has been poured into each one. Hands down, these videos are my favorite on RUclips.
Zachary Springer when i started watching the Access Team i didn’t really like any of the others but as i watched it more and more i began to like Dave and then Holly (shame she’s not a part of the team any more) and soon the rest of the team.. Sometimes it just takes time.. But Rob has such a great way of telling stories that i almost wish he was my dad 🤣
I love when people say this and its just like "look at the cover... Now what age dose that say... Yes thats right 18!" not to mention on pc you get adult only games like hatred and postal ect like yeh lets get our 5 year olds playing postal thats a great idea 😂
@@joelj1187 uh 18 and postal... Now that's hard... 😅 I woukd say even not high rated story driven games... Even deep game mechanics are not really meant for kids
Idk if i would agree with "exploring" skellige per se as that can in fact remove the serene music when you accidentally find a harpy lair or the like, but "experiencing" skellige and just letting it wash over you? That i can get behind. It really is supremely beautiful.
When I first arrived and took Roach up to Kaer Trolde I slowly took it all in, letting the serene music wash over me. Just one of the many amazing and unforgettable moments I have from that game.
I played through Flower recently with my son, and we both had a fun time playing it. We both went through the wide range of emotions that game puts you through. After finishing it I just kinda sat there for a bit as he ran off to play and realized that game so simple had somehow touched my heart so deeply and I had a good cry. Flower is all about life and connecting with others and even though things get scary and dark the sun still rises and everything that is broken can be fixed again. I'm still surprised by how deep Flower is despite its simplicity.
@@GoodNeutralEvilChaos Trolls being Trolls never change. Even when you tell this clichee multiple times it's still wrong and being a non-gamer still doesn't make you a better person.
This is easily the most wholesome thing on RUclips. Thanks guys! You hit some real amazing ones. Grim, Dear Esther are great. What Remains of Edith Finch, Oxenfree and Observation I would like to give a shout out too. Can we do the opposite? Games to stress you out during this time just to mix it up a bit?
When it all becomes too much for me, I unwind and relax by watching some Playstation Access videos and laughing with my friends from across the pond. Rob and the whole team never fail to bring a smile to my face even on the worst days. Stay safe and keep gaming
I was just having unbearable diarrhea and then I put this video on to play in the background and Rob’s voice honestly was so relaxing it actually helped ease the pain I was feeling. Thanks Rob ❤️
Thank you, Rob! We need your wonderful voice, humor, and spirit during this time. Escape, including video games, matters for our mental health right now. Please keep Friday Features and Tuesday Checklists going right now. They mean a lot to all of us.
I discovered the Glass Masquerade games this week - basically beautiful stained glass window jigsaw puzzles with lovely chilled music. Thoroughly recommend.
The best chilling games that weren't mentionned: - Lumines on PSP (oh the god almighty forgotten PSP!!) - Noby Noby Boy. Comon! -Demon's Souls, serious, the non killing bits, the clanking of Boldwin's hammer, the melancholic music... ohhh Demon's Souls!! -Echochrome... oh echochrome!!! PSP was such a good PlayStation!!!
Abzu is fantastically calming. It's always on my console as an anti depressant and just something to calm down and play. Also I literally spent the entire time just saying "oh it's so pretty"
Got my wife into Final Fantasy finally because of the jobs closing and people working from home. She loves FFX so far. Also she's one shot almost every boss...so that blew me away.
FFX and OHKO bosses? In the beginning of the game? Nah. Maybe after getting Yojimbo with Zanmato. But absolutely can see her getting "Overkill" on them.
I played Concrete Genie for the first time last week to help with my state being quarantined and it truly is a game to just sit and chill out to. I highly recommend it in times like this.
I have to thank you guys for this video. I'm going through a very stressful time in my life and I've never played any of these games so i just bought them all now and just playing Flower really helped, this video is gonna help me out thanks for the suggestions
This will be the last time we see Rob in a video this year, as he will dedicate this year to getting the platinum for both Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.
Well granted P5 Royals trophies are way easier than the base game. No more of those annoying nes type games to have to go through. You can almost platinum it in one playthrough. Though the my palace thing has plenty of stuff to do
I would add The First Tree, Rime, Fe and, mainly, Journey. I know you mentioned it, but it's probably my favourite game of the decade, so it's definately worth a shot. Other than that, pretty good list! Chill games are my favourite genre, and they are marvelous for times like this.
Mine is the skateboarding area in Spyro 3: Year Of The Dragon. As a 5 year old, I used to go there and just skateboard for long periods of time while thinking about life.
Great Feature, but I would like to formally challenge you to do a list of games, from across 4 generations of Playstation, that you've never talked about before. "7 Criminally overlooked games we've never put in a Friday Feature" or something like that? That would be amazing!
Hey Rob. Thanks for the video. Stay safe! Also, really appreciate the comment about shark not being a mindless predator. Keep up the good work and stay healthy.
This is exactly what I needed to watch to end my week. Found out one of my friends has the virus so I cant hang out with him for a while but he's doing well so that's all that matters. One of our favorite games to play is Stardew Valley. You can spend literal hours playing it and it feels like 10 minutes. Very relaxing game to play Everybody please take the virus seriously and stay safe out there
Absolutely love that you guys can still do this channel while social distancing I’m 100% sure this channel keep up the morale in these uncertain times and I hope everyone on the access channel and the loved ones are safe and well too robs Friday features and the Tuesday checklist are the highlight of my week
Showed my wife Tetris Effect and she loves it! Totally helps out with her stress being stuck at home with 3 kids constantly while I'm at my essential job overnight. Thanks for the suggestion Rob! Friday Features are DEFINITELY my favorite videos! Keep up the great work! P.S. I agree. Water graphics are the BEST. Black Flag was my awakening to the fact and I've loved it and Abzu ever since.
great to see Dear Esther on that list - not an obvious "Chill out" game but it's really the incredible atmosphere and soundtrack that hits that spot. Also what about Journ- oh, you covered that, good :)
My recent chillout games were "Eastshade" and "A Short Hike". I'd also recommend "The Witness" for those who like clever puzzle games. I'm on PC though and I'm not sure if any if these are on Playstation too.
While I completely agree with you on the virtues of Flower, it's a bit much to say that there's _nothing_ to be avoided. After all, the electric towers introduced late in the game can singe off some of your petals if you touch them, making your train of colorful petals slightly less beautiful as it wafts across the sky!
Thank you to all at playstation access your videos will get me through my weekend isolation before my return to work. Hope you all stay safe and well 👍
This is oddly perfect for today. In the middle of this crisis and today at 10am, I got fired from my job (in the games industry, incidentally) because the company I was working on cancelled the project I was assigned to. If there is a day when I need to calm down and relax, it is today. Thank you, guys, for putting a smile on my face after the roughest day of 2020 so far.
Flower defenetly is one of my favourite feels game😍. I have the triple pax for PS3 Flower, Journey and Flow. There is however the one stage that still given me the shivers in it 🌃
Lately my top picks for chillin are death stranding, beat saber, battlefront 2 and gwent. It's been nice to just take it easy, enjoy and not stress about stuff.
Literally EVERY Elder Scrolls game for me. Doesn't matter if I'm playing Arena or Skyrim, I hardly ever do any quests anymore. I just slowly walk/ride around while the calm, soothing Jeremy Soule music plays in the background.
For me, Chillout games are turn based RPG's. But since social distancing became a mandatory thing, now I have the time to play the Single Player games. So for a while I'm gonna take my time with Days Gone and replaying Kingdom Hearts 3 with the DLC. I literally got the DLC when it was released, started a new game and a few days later, for some reason I decided to get the Rainbow Six Siege Platinum. Just two trophies away.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoy and appreciate all of the work you all do. Rob, you especially resonate with the kinds of video games that I have loved throughout my life. I'm 36 and cut my gamer teeth on Final Fantasy, and really any JRPG, primarily. You have a way of describing the gaming experience in a way that is typically very difficult to describe. I have often voiced my opinions of games as a way to connect to the deepest, most meaningful parts of ourselves. There have been many times when I've said to myself, "Yes, that's exactly how I feel!" You have the gift of empathy. The gift of mindful connection to the moments you experience. Video games provide an opportunity to nurture these gifts unlike anything else. A point you have well made in previous videos. I'm a mental health therapist with a deep passion for the positive application of video games, so I could talk about this all day haha! Just wanted to say thanks for what you do. It's nice to know that others feel the same about games as I do. Keep up the great work! It is truly meaningful!
I just found out this is my sixth year as a subscriber! Truly amazing channel! Hope il'll still be watching Rob 'n da gang after six more years! Tusen liter svensk kärlek!
I recently played RiME and was thinking this was a great chillout game. In the beginning, at least. Once you little by little start to understand what the stages try to say it gets quite nicely more depth.
Surprised to not see Firewatch, Hue, What remains of Edith Finch, either of the Unravel games or even The Witness. I'm a huge fan of chill out games owning all of the above and the ones on the list, definitely some amazing titles to check out for those who haven't.
My daughter and I started our Abzu play through two days ago. She really enjoys swimming with the fishes and learning the names. She likes the Seahorses and the Humphead wrasses the most so far.
I felt like Abzu's story was completely pointless. To be fair, I was expecting Journey levels of insight and emotion. Disappointment was inevitable. It has some cool scenes, but that's about it.
This channel during the lock down (UK) has been unreal. Rob and the team are the goats of the gaming journalism world. You're work is masterful and I too am obsessed with MGS! Channel = Masterpiece! Love it!
It may sound weird to some and Rob is going to love this one but I think Death Stranding is quite peaceful. Sure the BT's a and other enemies do get in the way sometimes but when I'm walking or riding the motorbike there's a calm and serene feeling. It feels good in these times or after a day of hard work.
There is nothing more relaxing than playing Stardew Valley! I completely forget reality whenever I start the game. The music is incredible and everything else, too.
Right now for me it's "Disney's Aladdin & Lion King" on Switch, once I adjusted to the new controls I had both completed in a day, now I can complete each game inside of an hour, I find it therapeutic! Thanks in advance for the suggestions Rob and Friends 💙🐱💙
and here I was thinking Okami or FF9, lol :- b Thank you for the rec's, Rob! I love the concept of 'Dear Esther' in particular. It'd be nice trekking through Scotland (virtually) since I can't leave my house! Travel games, GO!
Regular people: i feel like a prisoner in my own home
Gamers: I cant see an issue with all this
EXACTLY! We can finally stay at home without feeling bad about it! 😄
Always been a recluse so this is just like any other day to me.

I love Demons' souls. It's far from a perfect game, but the lore and atmosphere are outstanding.
Echochrome 👍🏻
Yeah man, I love my PSP. My favourites on that system are The Sims: Castaway and Sid Meirs Pirates

Check out the Everybody's Gone to the Rapture OST by the same composer: Jessica Curry if you haven't already. It's even better.
I find Shadow of the Colossus very relaxing, just running around the world and taking it all in. Such a beautiful and majestic experience.
Still available on PS Plus until the end of March I believe as well

This will be the last time we see Rob in a video this year, as he will dedicate this year to getting the platinum for both Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.
Don't forget Final Fantasy 7 remake. We all know Rob will drop everything to play and possibly platinum it.
Back to back
Well granted P5 Royals trophies are way easier than the base game. No more of those annoying nes type games to have to go through. You can almost platinum it in one playthrough. Though the my palace thing has plenty of stuff to do

That's been the most amazing description of FEZ I've ever seem.
It sure caught me off guard. I thought I was the only one who had weird thoughts like that.
Not a Playstation game but I think any Animal Crossing, especially New Horizons perfectly captures that chill feeling like no other game I've played.
Dear Esther reminded me of the last video it featured in. Rob (and the team) remember that we are all here for you if it does get a bit much.
These games aren’t lovely, it’s your narration Rob.
Lately my top picks for chillin are death stranding, beat saber, battlefront 2 and gwent. It's been nice to just take it easy, enjoy and not stress about stuff.
For a short time trip, I've found What Remains of Edith Finch a stunningly beautiful, if slightly less chill and more haunting and sad distraction.

This is a lovely video to find as I first open youtube today. Access team always has something I enjoy.
Man i needed this vid, thank you guys so much for making this and do stay safe
Listening to Rob speak is what relaxes me!!!
I recently played RiME and was thinking this was a great chillout game. In the beginning, at least. Once you little by little start to understand what the stages try to say it gets quite nicely more depth.
I was going to include Rime, but yeah. If you've played it, you know.
Surprised to not see Firewatch, Hue, What remains of Edith Finch, either of the Unravel games or even The Witness. I'm a huge fan of chill out games owning all of the above and the ones on the list, definitely some amazing titles to check out for those who haven't.
This video didn't convince me to play Flower instead it told me I need more ASMR Rob in my life
First video I've watched on this channel. You are awesome!
Flower; One of my favourite games on PS3, PS4, and PS Vita. Music and gameplay make for such a great experience
My daughter and I started our Abzu play through two days ago. She really enjoys swimming with the fishes and learning the names. She likes the Seahorses and the Humphead wrasses the most so far.
For my money Firewatch should have made the list. Amazing soundtrack and just a cool story.
That Fez part made me think... What if our memories and hopes for the future are just our soul looking through a 4th dimension, time.
Out of all the similar games, I feel Abzu is the best. It made me the most emotional and told an important story that I wasn't expecting.
I felt like Abzu's story was completely pointless. To be fair, I was expecting Journey levels of insight and emotion. Disappointment was inevitable. It has some cool scenes, but that's about it.
This channel during the lock down (UK) has been unreal. Rob and the team are the goats of the gaming journalism world. You're work is masterful and I too am obsessed with MGS! Channel = Masterpiece! Love it!
GRIS is one of the best games of this past year. The music, the colors, the story; everything is pristine. Can’t wait to see what the devs make next.
It may sound weird to some and Rob is going to love this one but I think Death Stranding is quite peaceful. Sure the BT's a and other enemies do get in the way sometimes but when I'm walking or riding the motorbike there's a calm and serene feeling. It feels good in these times or after a day of hard work.
Bring back the badger
Bring back the Fist!
Send the badger to attack outside xtra for prank calling Rob

He's self isolating
There is nothing more relaxing than playing Stardew Valley! I completely forget reality whenever I start the game. The music is incredible and everything else, too.
Youd better never leave access Rob. You keep us sane during these swamp monster times...
First heard of and now own flower because of this wonderful video. Thanks for all the premium consistently top notch videos!
Right now for me it's "Disney's Aladdin & Lion King" on Switch, once I adjusted to the new controls I had both completed in a day, now I can complete each game inside of an hour, I find it therapeutic!
Thanks in advance for the suggestions Rob and Friends 💙🐱💙

Soothing
Monologue,
Rob
All games are lovely chill out games if you truly love playing
Love Rob getting super close to the mic.... "just....let.....it....taaaaaake….youuuu"
Rob ASMR is something that I don't expect but now I can't live without.
and here I was thinking Okami or FF9, lol :- b
Thank you for the rec's, Rob! I love the concept of 'Dear Esther' in particular. It'd be nice trekking through Scotland (virtually) since I can't leave my house! Travel games, GO!
"Interstellar photographer" ... honestly I think this sounds like it would make for a nice anime style looking short film
Would probably be super beautiful and existential and maybe make you tear up a bit by the end too.
