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?

    Single Player:

    • tetris effect connected

    • tony hawk pro skater 1 & 2 remaster

    Multiplayer with close friends:

    • Risk of Rain 2
    • Rocket League
    • Golf with your friends
    • Halo (if they get their shit together and get their player count back up)
    • Fall Guys (if they get their shit together and unvault the maps)

    I play God of War 2018 to chill out, the scenery is great and you can just vibe around.

    Cannot find an artefact or realm tear in Midgard at the moment so the wandering is actually putting me off but I would highly recommend this game for a chill out session.

    I haven’t played the new one, maybe some day.

      If you like the fighting part I think that’s what Muspelheim is there for, just arcade-like monster killing.

        Yeah that was fun, could not pass one of the trials and then I nailed it straight through to getting my ass kicked by the Valkyrie.

    I usually play Terraria as it’s one of my favorite games. I’ve beaten the game on three platforms. Going to play it again on a harder difficulty next time.

    I find it fun since it’s not a shooter so no intense rage moments that make you want to quit the game.

      TotK, D4 & Dave Dive are big for sure.

      Although I’m trying to get back into Predecessor for the sweet, sweaty combat

    I just downloaded Deaths Door on gamepass as I’m about to go away for a few weeks and didn’t want to start anything story heavy. It’s pretty straightforward and the art style is great. It’s basically Tunic without needing to think about anything.

    Counterstrike: counterintuitive but dealing with the toxicity and probably getting massacred by smurfing players (or cheaters) still is a good outlet for the day’s stress.

    Love some “turn your brain off” kinda games. BOTW AND TOTK (altho that one is a bit more involved) are perfect for this. Also love an after work session of some Warriors (not nba) 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

    Honestly, right now it’s Overwatch 2. Probably Stockholm syndrome at this point, but the game can still be fun to just jump into for 30 minutes for me.
