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?

I've mostly been wanting to play Rocket League, but I've been super stressed and for whatever reason playing against real people stresses me more. I think it's because I can't just pause the game whenever I feel like it.

So I've been mostly playing against ML bots with RLBotGui. As a gold/plat level player, it's actually a great way to practice.

I've also been playing through all of the Adventures of Lolo games(1-3 US and Japan, GB Lolo, eggerland series, plus all of the many rom hacks) on my Anbernic handheld. It's my favorite puzzle game of all time.

I was just playing Lolo 3 and I'm so surprised to see it pop up here! I've never played it before and went directly to the 3rd installment - is that a bad idea?

I'm also playing on an anbernic (rg351v). I wish I could play "baba is you" on it, it would be perfect.

You can play them in any order, but I'd recommend playing the English games before the Japanese market games because the Japan games have more difficult levels.
