Cookie Clicker vs Viridi
Cookie Clicker
Cookie Clicker is a pretty interesting idle-clicking game where the story - there is one surprisingly - mainly involves your somewhat comical attempts at baking chocolate chip cookies. Every click on the large cookie on the screen will earn you a cookie and you can collect more cookies to purchase a variety of upgrades on the right, including an auto-clicker cursor, a nice grandma who will help you bake more cookies and setting up a cookie farm where cookie seeds will grow cookie plants. There are tons of achievements to be obtained too!Besides its obvious humor, Cookie Clicker is a pretty fun and satisfying idle game, so much so that the developers have released a sequel, aptly named Cookie Clicker 2, so that fans of this game will be able to continue their adventure of creating the ultimate cookie-making empire.
Viridi
Viridi has been hailed as one of the most relaxing game on Steam, though the game is now available on both Android and iOS now as well. How can you relax by playing this game? Well, Viridi is basically a plant simulator; a safe haven where you can patiently take care of a large pot of plants that are often arranged decoratively to resemble something you might see in a terrarium. The game is not intended to be played in long periods of time. Just like a real life plant, you simply need to check in once a day or so, water and maybe fertilize it, and leave it to grow at its own pace. If you do a good job of caring for your plant, it might even flower for you (as long as it's a flowering plant)!Viridi is a limited free-to-play game which makes it more of a free-to-try. There are some free plants you can play around with for free, but if you want to really get into the game, there is an assortment of different plants in the in-game nursery that you can buy with real money. You can also get a free seedling every week.
