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?

Lately it's been Persona 4 Golden on the Vita and Zelda ToTK.

Zelda because you can change your play style easily, sometimes I just want to build stuff, other times I want to explore the map, fight monsters, or do side quests. Sometimes I'll sit there and spend a bunch of time preparing meals for a future play sessions.

Persona 4 I keep coming back to for the story and overall experience - music, voice acting, and even just navigating menus is so stylistic and top notch. I started my playthrough in 2019 though and am barely picking it back up.

On days I have more energy I've been playing Freedom Planet 2 for some action platforming as well.
