Panic. Coughing. Hysteria. Toilet paper. As news of COVID-19 continues to spread worldwide, so too are people beginning to take greater precautions to halt further spread by keeping in self-isolation. Is that you? Or are you home-bound for another reason?

Panic not, sit back and unwind with one of these five relaxing games to keep you occupied and as stress-free as possible.

Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky caused great controversy when it released four years ago, as players found many promised features were nowhere to be seen. As most will know, the developers got right back on it and have released a plethora of free content that has vastly improved the experience.

August last year, added even more content, including total overhauls of base building, NPCs, amongst others.
