Tetris Effect
This isn’t your grandma’s Tetris. Tetris Effect takes the classic puzzle game and blasts it into a galaxy of colors, music, and rhythm. The visuals pulse and shift with each move you make, and when you’re high, it feels like you’re conducting some kind of cosmic orchestra. Straight-up hypnotic.
Journey
Short, sweet, and deeply emotional, Journey is like a spiritual trip without leaving your couch. You wander through a desert, meet random players (with zero talking), and glide down sand dunes like a majestic scarf-wearing legend. Stoned or not, it’s an experience — but stoned? Chef’s kiss.
Slime Rancher 2
This one’s cute AF. You’re on an alien planet collecting bouncy, smiley slimes and building a ranch. The colors are poppin’, the soundtrack is super chill, and the whole thing is oddly therapeutic. It’s like stress relief in game form.
Minecraft (Creative Mode)
Creative Mode in Minecraft is a playground for the high brain. Build a giant taco? Sure. Dig to the center of the Earth? Go for it. There are no rules, just pure imagination — and it can get real deep if you’re that kind of high.
Untitled Goose Game
You’re a goose. You mess with people. That’s the whole game. It’s goofy, it’s sneaky, and it’s somehow endlessly entertaining. Bonus: honking never stops being funny when you’re baked.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
An open-world masterpiece that lets you explore at your own pace. Climb a mountain, cook up some wild shrooms, paraglide into the sunset — it’s all vibes. Perfect for when you’re stoned and just want to get lost in a gorgeous, relaxing world.

Katamari Damacy Reroll
Pure chaotic joy. Roll up sushi, cows, people, skyscrapers — whatever — while bopping to the catchiest J-pop ever. It’s goofy, colorful, and makes zero sense in the best way possible.
Firewatch
Stunning visuals, chill hiking vibes, and low-key emotional depth. You play a lonely fire lookout having walkie-talkie convos with a mysterious coworker. It’s immersive, a little flirty, and surprisingly peaceful when you’re stoned and vibing with nature.
What Remains of Edith Finch
This walking sim is a little heavier emotionally, but damn is it beautiful. You explore a strange family home and experience surreal mini-stories from each relative’s past. Haunting, creative, and perfect if you’re in a thoughtful headspace.
