Honestly, some visual novels like Ace attorney, Katawa shoujo, Steins Gate, Clannad are very chill.

Just started a new colony yesterday because an update was released with new tools and content. The colony I was playing up until that point was almost 3000 cycles old.

C&C Generals World Builder. I just make maps while I'm in discord.
It's stimulating enough that it keeps my mind from wandering from a conversation, but brainless enough to be engaged in the conversation.
I'm also partial to Minecraft. Just decorate a little section then log off until tomorrow
Harvest Moon /Story of Season games.
Stardew Valley.
Diner Dash series of games.
Dwarf Fortress.
Theme Hospital.
The Sims.
Games that I can mostly play hands off.
I don't play Tetris usually but when I get bored or just wanna relax then I play Tetris[Highest Score: 500k in 8 Hours]
Weirdly, Yakuza. Not even to thrash thugs, just to have a virtual night out with some karaoke, pool, darts... sexy bug-lady wrestling... I love most of the mini games in the series.
Diablo 4. I usually turn on Futurama when I play.
I liked the earlier diablo games but have heard lots of negatives about 4. I know 3 had a lot of issues on launch but I really enjoy it now. Would you recommend it for someone who doesn't really have an interest in constantly running endgame content?

I have several games for a lazy evening on the sofa, so it depends on the mood.
I hoard virtual cars, tanks and ships, so I pick CSR2 when I want to do an event there (daily boring grinding tasks are automated). When I want to shoot I either junp in World of Tanks Blitz or World of Warships Blitz.
When in a mood where I want to just tap around, I dust off Hay Day.
Gershwin Impact has been on the tablet, but after a few attempts to play it, it's removed again. Looks nice, but not my style, yet.
Apart from trackmania which was already named it's certainly slay the spire. I often do both TTD and the daily in sts. If I didn't always end up trying to go for sub 35min points it'd actually be relaxing probably.

Not a long or super replayable game like some of these answers but Jusant is super chill.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on here who plays Hollow Knight. When I want to chill, I like to start a new game and just go through the early-mid game exploration phase. No pressure, skip bosses if I feel like it. Just run around and enjoy the atmosphere and music. Love it.
So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?
Solitaire
Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, My Time at Portia, Cozy Grove or Good Pizza, Great Pizza!
Bloons td6 is pretty cool and laid back.
Genshin Impact has been my comfort game the last 2 years
Diablo II Resurrected. I've been playing it (Diablo II) for 20 years now. Even though I know the game inside out, a new rare rune drop can still make my day. I usually listen to podcasts meanwhile.
Vampire Survivors was tons of fun until I unlocked pretty much everything, but it also goes great with podcasts.
Clone Hero. Even though I only have a keyboard (so say goodbye to the fast strum bits), It often takes me from 'I just want to chill' to 'this song was FIRE'.
Spend hours downloading / messing with proton / configuring, and then play for 15 minutes...
At this point I'm almost convinced I just like the setup process.
Otherwise probably quake.
Pokemon Fire Red or Dark Souls
