Last gen versions just aren't worth it these days.
I would agree for Shadows of Mordor, Inquisition, and The Witcher, all of which are on PC. Persona 5 will be just fine on PS3, and the next Tales game is still PS3 exclusive.
So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.
@iKhan - Just went and watched that episode(s) and it was pretty good. Honestly, the abnegation part sort of makes sense to me. Even Tales is a relatively stress-free game. Actually, I feel like they only really fumbled the ending (got really preachy), but I still got the idea.
Maybe it's just me, but I rarely go to RPGs to relax. I go to action games like Mario or Star Wars: TFU. Basically things that aren't tedious but aren't mind intensive either. And even then, I don't really see it as a core aesthetic. I think the unifying aesthetic is a sense of steady growth. That's why leveling systems work in RPGs, but not in something like Zelda.

Minimum specs, I assume. That and bugs relating to different and/or multiple graphics cards.
Enemies should be displayed on the map, rather than randomly thrown at the player. This can make basic navigation in the field far more engaging and tactical. I think Radiant Historia did this right. I'm willing to give EO a pass since FOEs are visible and move around the map.
I think turn order needs to be in control of the player. This is generally more of an SRPG problem, but this is another thing that RH addressed brilliantly.

Radiant Historia was so good. I loved having so much control over the turn order in that game.

Phrasing is a little confusing then. The majority of these games do play on PC, but perhaps not for all users.

Yeah...that's very much just you. I can't imagine someone actually relaxing playing a game that requires sharp reflexes and concentration. Heck, most Turn-Based RPGs can be played while doing something else, due to the nature of the genre. Good luck playing Mario While folding laundry...

Well, I don't tend to play hard levels. The allure of action games for relaxing to me is the satisfaction of the action itself. I like to play Monster Hunter (I know it's an RPG, but in regards to the combat itself) when I'm stressed, but I don't hunt a new monster, I hunt an old, easier monster. TFU is great for relieving stress because you can just wreck havoc.
To me, RPGs are too loaded to relax with. Between the story, combat, crafting, multiple skill and stat customization options, puzzle solving, and sidequests, I don't really feel like I can focus on just one. On top of that, grinding just comes off to me as boring, tedious grunt work, I don't really want to do work when I'm stressed.

I play stuff like Super Hexagon to relax / de-stress. It works because the only way to do it is for my entire concentration to be on the game which removes the other stuff I don't want to care about.
It is quick as well doesn't need hours and hours.

Huh. I still don't get it, though. Is that even really relaxing? Relieving stress or distracting your brain is one thing, but it doesn't sound like you're actually giving your brain a break. When I relax, I need to do somerthing where I can turn my brain as close to off as I am capable of getting, which for me means I still need to give my body something to do. Doing slow, repetitive tasks, always seemed like the best way to do it, since that means only a minimum amount of my brain is actually engaged in the task. Other things I like to do is Pace around the house (If my dog doesn't stand in the way staring at me like an idiot, I can basically walk the whole downstairs with my eyes closed...), doodle random lines on paper ("Zentangle"), and bounce tennis balls (which was easier when I was a kid and even on a cold morning the ball would still bounce to arm's height). You know, the only things in life I can think of that are even close to as repetitive as running in circles and mashing the A button, that would still give you some minor sense of accomplishment.

I'm never one to really completely give my brain a break. I just want to give it something less taxing than a difficult test, a puzzle, or something like that.
