After Work Gaming: What games do you enjoy mostly after a day of work? (lemmy.world)

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?

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.

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.

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..

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

[–] drekly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Right now: loop hero, factorio, evil within, and battlebit when friends are online.

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

Annapurna stuff and VS style shooters (latest is 20 Mins till Dawn).
