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:

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

For me it needs to be something that my two daughters can watch me play. If I want something quick I'll normally go for some Fortnite. I'm trying to decide if Remnant 2 is alright my kids to watch me play, if I decide it is that'll be my other one.

Yeah I'm rolling between grounded and Fortnite with my buddies lately. Kid safe and casual. Need to sit down for some single player soon though

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..

It's really whatever is new or whatever game I'm interested in for the month. The only staples I cine back to would be battlefield and FFXIV. Although the latest iteration of BF wasn't that good

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.

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

For the last few weeks it was Sons Of The Forest. But now that my wife and I finished the story and are waiting to lose ourselves for months in Baldurs Gate 3, we've been filling the time with Green Hell, another survival game in a similar vein to SotF. So far the constant struggle to stay on top of food, water, and injuries has been kinda frustrating, but hopefully that headache will go away once the systems start to make more sense.
