City builder simulators like Foundation or Cities: Skylines. Anything with a Pause button.

The consoles suspend button they all added last gen is a godsend for me. No cocking about with loading, finding a save point, etc. Just, on and off.

Rock and Stone! Deep Rock is a fun game. Especially if you have a friend or two to play it with.

Yeah just started it solo, guess it's more fun with friends. However I don't have friends who play online in my timezone. I'll try on the Discord channel.

I enjoy it solo too. Just depends on my mood.

I played Destiny 2 but found it quite stressful and too hard for me.
