I am not a regular gamer, but once or twice in the week I am indulging in some after work gaming. Mostly I enjoy games that are either story rich to put different thoughts in my mind or games with a simple, but enjoyable gameplay (not too much micromanagement).

Here are my favorites for an after work gaming spree:

Football Manager (mainly 2008 and 2014 edition)
Citizen Sleeper
Suzerain
Disco Elysium
The Long Dark
Dave the Diver
Hotline Miami
System Shock 2
The Long Drive

What about you, what do you play after work (even occasionally) to get your mind off or do you have any suggestions in general?

Like most here I have a couple of games which I play for a few weeks before moving on to the next. The cycle (as of now) includes:

Terraria

Warframe

Elden Ring (Sometimes Bloodborne, DS1 or DS3)

Factorio (because fuck sleeping)

SYNTHETIK

Resident Evil 2 or 4 Remakes

These are the usual suspects I play over and over again. Sometimes I squeeze in a new game. Some of the last games were Outer Wilds, Dead Space Remake, Katamari Damacy REROLL, God of War Ragnarök and Boltgun. Right now I am farming the shit out of Warframe again, but I think I might give Starsector a shot. Looks like a lot of fun to me.

Games that have been a part of the cycle were: Destiny 1, Destiny 2 and Guild Wars 2, Fallout 4, Skyrim. I lost interest in these games after a couple of ~~hundred~~ thousand hours.

I've been playing Dismantle. You just smash stuff mostly. Well, I just smash stuff mostly. Then upgrade tools to smash more stuff.

I don't have any specific games to play after work. I just play whatever I'm enjoying most. Currently, that game is baldurs gate 3. I haven't played anything else since Thursday. Before that, it was Spiritfall. It's a roguelite with brawlhalla/smashbros type combat fused with hades' blessings power ups. It's still in early access but it's pretty polished, and a lot of fun. I was also playing risk of rain 2 from time to time but boy does it take a while to get good at that game..

Any game really. Currently going through ratchet and clank rift in time since it just came out on pc. Other is legacy of the duelist and ace Attorney trilogy

I've been playing Dinkum a lot lately. A cross between Stardew and Animal Crossing, but with an Australian theme. Real chill if you want it to be.

Zen Koi on mobile https://zenkoigame.com/

It's chill mindlessness with soothing audio. Excellent for zoning out after a hard day. Calms the soul.

Generally things that are easy to pick up and get going again. If I have to try and find a notebook to get back on track I'll leave it for when I have proper time off. Often I put it down to pick it back up months down the line. Games such as the below are usually on my rotation.

Guild Wars 2

Some ARPG: Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, Diablo

PvE multplayer loot shooter: Deep Rock Galactic, Warframe
