It takes a little getting used to, but I would honestly say Kerbal Space Program fits into this genre for me, its like adult legos.
I mostly just build different little planes and fly them around or stay in low kerbin (earth) orbit and near the mun, but its just a very relaxing simple game with as much complexity as you want to add.
- dragontamer 6y agoI don't think KSP would fall under Iyashikei. It seems to me (I'm not Japanese though) that Iyashikei is a celebration of normality. "The Sims" and "Sim City" would fall under Iyashikei. But most people aren't space astronauts. So KSP can't celebrate normalcy because you're pretending to be something you're not. Persona 5 has Iyashikei elements, as the main character interacts with day-to-day school life. Even if there's an element of supernatural / battling involved, there's an Iyashikei part of the game. Most people have been a student at school. And that's the "celebration of normalcy" that Persona 5 brings forth. > Japan loves making shows and games about childhood. Specifically about childhood summers spent catching bugs, fishing, going to festivals, sharing meals with family, and, of course, trips to the beach. These things are present in "The Sims". But not KSP. If you watch a lot of Iyashikei anime, you'll know what this article is going for. KSP doesn't seem to be in that direction.
