Seeking recommendations for a Puzzle game with soothing background music

1) Braid - but I warn you it is difficult and requires thinking but it is awesome, with great controls and an epic story...

2) trine - much easier then Braid and alot of fun

I've played both, and both are amazing!

Bejeweled 3. Even has a game mode called Xen where you can play relaxing music, sound effects such as rain or waves, and other such stuff. Might be up your alley.MythPro1

Great game, but you can't really play this game while relaxing except for Zen mode, and that Zen mode is completely mindless he'd probably rather watch paint dry.

there is also "world of goo" which is great...

Tidalis!!! I reckon that will do the trick.

It's on sale right now on steam and Gamersgate for $5.

It actually has some very funny and interesting charcters as well as some memorable music. At least try the demo. Let us know how it turns out! :)

Hey, thanks for all the suggestions. I will read up on everything and see what interests me.LikeaLazyCat

Bejeweled 3 is probably the game you are describing, with countless forms of puzzles, including quests, beautiful smooth visuals that are appealing to the eye and you can also change the music track trough many picks of you preferance, and this also includings soundtracks such as the sound of rain falling in a forest, the sound of a waterfall or the sound of crickets in the night sky, and obviously more.

Bejeweled 3 is one of the most relaxing games i have ever had the pleasure to play, its soundtrack and gameplay can trully do wonders to a stressed mind and body, i could even argue that it could deal with severe cases of stress.

Nope, the right answer is Osmos. You can't get a more soothing game
