For me, it feels great to do a few laps in a racing sim like Assetto Corsa Competizione after a long day. Even something more arcade-y like Forza feels good to me.
If I don't feel like like driving at the end of my day though I'd probably hop on Monster Hunter or a story-based single player game.
Hotline Miami
Ahh so I see you enjoy some "brainless" (I mean some parts can be brainless, especially if you know the stage pretty well) slaughter after work.
Deep Rock Galactic is a good choice for me after a long day at work, it's a PvE co-op game. Even at the highest difficulty you can have a smooth time with a good team, and otherwise you can turn down the hazard level a notch or two - it's fun and not too mentally taxing to mow down bugs en masse.
Bonus, drinking a beer in game while having a beer in real life is peak immersion.
Usually play some Doom 1 or 2, a level or an episode, or Minecraft if I have more time, but I'm in a boring replay/comfort phase because work is kicking my ass atm
The same games I would enjoy on my day off.
Still playing Diablo 4 pretty much whenever I have downtime for gaming.
Fallout 4. Current playthrough is no armoured melee playthrough
Infection free zone demo. Post apocalyptic colony Sim with maps based off the open street view. is pretty fun.
Starship troopers: Extermination. 16 player coop fps where we fight the bug menace. Service guarantees citizenship.
If I'm knackered it's Noita, if I have some energy left I'm pwning noobs in Population 1.
I have a group of friends that I have been playing CSGO with every night for years. We now all have over several thousand hours and don't really play seriously on low rank and just have fun together. I couldn't not play the game tryhard after a day at work...but then with so much experience it's not a problem anymore.
Transport Fever 2 has consumed my free time. It's like a time machine, I open the game and I'm launched 4 hours into the future
Satisfactory or RDR2. Depends on the how the work day went.
I usually have my regular games that I use to disconnect: FIFA, NBA2K, Rocket League offline, SimCity4, Anno 1404, RDR2
And also other more intensive games that I play if I'm in the mood: just finished GoW Ragnarok, started The Witcher 3
Been playing phoenotopia: awakening in whatever spare time I have for the past little while. It's been a good time!
Super Mario 64 romhacks, but who am I kidding, I never stop working.
Get a break from working, my dude!
Just a perfect mix of 80s-90s rock, some weed and Diablo IV. Really hits the spot.
Nhl offline. No idea why. I win almost every game. Sometimes it's a close one. But it's not easy on superstar. I just enjoy finding the angles. Good podcast game. But I am down on myself for ignoring the massive backlog.
Finally though, I snapped out of it and tried Hades for the second time and this time it stuck. Chasing those Heat skulls now.
Between Xbox and steam deck:
Recently I finished it takes two with my daughter, looking for new couch coops to play with her. For my own gaming time, getting bored of Diablo IV, Dave the diver was fun for a while but I'm ready for something else, maybe will get back into valheim.
DYO is a great free couch coop puzzle game on steam.
If you can play in seperate rooms, the We Were Here series is outstanding. As well as Escape Academy, which is much more child friendly.
Side scroller wise on the same machine. Ibb and Obb or Unravel 1 and 2 are fantastic couch coop games.
Yes, I love coop games. Just wish there were more. Feel I've.played them all already.
Awesome, thanks for the suggestions! Unravel (2) was one of the first games we played together, it was the the perfect game to introduce her to because asymmetrical skill doesn't hurt the game at all, actually it even helps.
I agree with you on the limited local co-op games out there. I feel like I've played them all. Online co-op will be an option when I fix my PC, but the couch experience is hard to beat.
Lately it’s been War Thunder. Finally got it set up nicely with my Quest 2 and it’s pretty damn good in VR.
Forza Horizon 5, have been playing racing games for a lot of years and the Forza games are easy to pick up for a few races. You can also just cruise around the open world map.
Steam Decking fallout 3 atm, with D4 occasionally spaced in. Next is n ew Vegas and fo4.
Right now I'm hard addicted to Remnant 2. Been playing it pretty much every day after work this week. Phenomenal game.
Same, been having a blast with engineer so far
Started playin monster train. It scratches the itch of finishing something in 1-2 hours and while they're very similar I feel like it's a bit more forgiving than "slay the spire".
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
Right now I'm into racing as I just got a new wheel. So like Asseto Corsa Competizion or F1 23
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.
Currently doing a second playtrhough of Pathfinder WoTR.
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
Albion Online :)
Right now: loop hero, factorio, evil within, and battlebit when friends are online.
