PS3 Ps3 relaxing game recommendations

Hello. I'm looking for a game that I can play for one hour in the evening that doesn't require too much strategy and has a satisfying gameplay loop. I'm currently playing Valkyria Chronicles and played till the first boss kicked my ass, also it required too much time to finish it under an hour. The first time

It doesn't have to be "relaxing" in the traditional sense, just satisfying, not too much difficult or strategic

Maybe Eternal Sonata?
It's whimsical and pretty, and not overly difficult from what I remember.
It's a JRPG where everything has a music theme.

It's a boss rush that somewhat mixes Kingdom Hearts gameplay with Mega Man, there's only 5/6 bosses in total in the PS3 version, so it's not a long game.

I'm not sure how strategic or whatever it is, but I always found Tokyo Jungle quite a chill time.

You basically have to try and survive as various different animal species, starting out with just a pomeranian and unlocking more and more interesting carnivores and herbivores to play as.

There is a fail state, with certain animals especially being susceptible to a short lifespan, but it's pretty easy once you get the hang of each animal, and because you can retry infinately the stakes are pretty low.
