The PlayStation 5 is home to all sorts of games spanning a variety of genres for players to enjoy. One of the most popular genres of recent years has been role-playing games. These titles tend to be action-packed, with plenty of intense moments of combat that have kept players on their toes.
However, this isn't always the case. Some RPGs have been specifically made to allow players to experience a different life, and therefore these titles are far more relaxing. There have been plenty of cozy games over the years; these are the most relaxing PS5 RPGs a player should try for themselves.
1 Graveyard Keeper
Looking after a graveyard may not sound like the most relaxing time, so players will be surprised by how soothing it can be to play a simple RPG like Graveyard Keeper. Players will find themselves collecting resources, helping the church, and therefore expanding their cemetery to hold all the corpses that get delivered to them.
Besides burying bodies, Graveyard Keeper also has an interesting story as the character the player controls attempts to return to the mortal realm to get home to their love. Completing the various quests in the game will get them closer to this goal while also revealing other intriguing stories.
2 Haven
Haven is an incredible game that sees the player choose two lovers that have crash-landed on an alien planet; players must search the different islands of this place to find ways to fix their ship, all while ridding the place of the strange corruption that has taken over it. There is nothing more relaxing than the movement in Haven as players glide across the land together.
What makes Haven even greater of an experience is how the players can play this title with a friend. Co-op may be deemed as not the most relaxing thing in the world, but as players are encouraged to work together, this teamwork allows them to have an amazing time.
3 Kitaria Fables
Players looking for a cute adventure role-playing game should look no further than Kitaria Fables. In this game, players control a tiny cat person that fuses the genres of an action-adventure with both a farming simulator and an RPG. While this title may be the most action-packed out of all on the list, it is still a great game to wind down with.
Go out and do quests by defeating the dangers of the wild or take the more relaxing approach of farming crops and getting to know the locals of the village.
4 Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life
Alternatively, those that are looking for a genuine farming experience with no combat at all need to look no further than Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. This game is a remake of the original Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, though it has given it a modern spark.
Besides farming, a large part of A Wonderful Life is exactly in its name. Players can find someone to settle down with, have a child, and then teach that child the ropes of the farm or anything else in the game they are interested in. With the seasons in the game being so short, this is a brilliant title to relax with for a few hours.
5 Potion Permit
Farming isn't the only relaxing way a game can allow a player to experience an RPG with hardly any combat. Potion Permit proves this to be the case as players take on the role of a village's local alchemist.
It is their job to find the ingredients needed to make the medicines that will help cure all sorts of ailments the townsfolk face. There are a few moments of combat where players will need to defeat certain monsters for ingredients, but nothing in this game could ever be described as stressful.
6 A Tale For Anna
A Tale for Anna is an incredible RPG filled with plenty of puzzles and fairy tale characters but no combat. While some may find puzzles to be stressful, others find them to be a great enjoyment, and combining this with the incredibly drawn art style of this title makes for a pleasant experience.
Turning on the PS5 to play an hour or two of A Tale for Anna is sure to help many relax after a stressful day of work; thankfully, plenty of the puzzles players are met by are quite straightforward to solve.
7 Temtem
Even MMORPGs like Temtem have the capability of being a relaxing time for players. In this title, they are left to collect various adorable creatures as they go on their adventure. In many ways, this title is the Pokemon of the PS5, with players having six islands to explore, all filled with interesting and exciting Temtems to tame.
Outside the story campaign, players can enjoy Temtem with others due to being an MMO. They can take part in friendly battles against others or trade their duplicate Temtems with friends. There is always something to do in Temtem.
8 Stardew Valley
Unsurprisingly, one of the most relaxing RPGs that can be played on the PS5 is Stardew Valley. Players over the years have put countless hours into this role-playing farming simulator that lets players grow their farms and explore the valley.
Being able to enjoy this title while using the DualSense controller makes for a brilliant experience that allows any player to chill out and simply collect resources in this pixel title. Not to mention the adorable romances a player can get lost in to create the perfect little life for themselves.
