Nour
Play it on: PS5, PS4, Windows (Steam Deck: YMMV)
Current goal: Not think
Reader, I don’t want to think this weekend. I simply wish to vibe. Between Tears of the Kingdom, Final Fantasy XVI, Baldur’s Gate 3, the Cyberpunk expansion, and the Pokémon DLC, I feel like I haven’t had a minute to discard my critical thinking cap and simply turn my brain off.
Sure, I get some Overwatch 2 matches in here and there, but you know what I want? I want something low-stress. I want to watch food bounce around on my TV while sick beats play in the background to match the visuals. This weekend, I’m going to play Nour, the food-based visual art game that is just watching and manipulating food as it bounces around the screen. I don’t have to think about a thing. I just have to distract myself with the video game equivalent of opening up the ASMR tag on TikTok. Not a thought behind these eyes. — Kenneth Shepard
