I'm late but: Fights In Tight Spaces. I thoroughly enjoy their daily challenges, and save my replays when I have a spectacular run with no damage.
These days I mostly just grind the same handful of games. Actually having a hard time pulling myself away long enough to get through the JRPGs on my backlog...
- Skullgirls
- Them's Fightin' Herds
- Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes]
- Riichi Mahjong (Mahjong Soul, Riichi City, IRL)
- Slay the Spire
- Puyo Puyo Champions
- Panel de Pon
The Warhammer tide games, either Vermintide 2 or Darktide. Best melee combat in a video game, relatively short rounds, and super satisfying to just genocide some heretic/xeno hordes for the Emperor/Sigmar.
You just alerted me to the existence of Orcs Must Die 3, and I am going to check it out after absolutely loving the first 2.

Helldivers 2 is great for short to medium sessions.
yeah, being able to hop in and out it's great thing for me
I also like the lack of pressure to finish a round if you have to be drug away by life. I know they'll likely be able to finish without me or someone will pop in after me to help.
When I'm too tired or depressed to dive deep into something it's always something really simple like Ring of Pain, Vampire Survivors, or other slow paced stuff.
When in doubt, true doubt, Doom is always there for me, in every device I own.

For me its titanfall 2. Simply because its quite casual and the rounds don't take too long. Just hop on and if you get absolutely obliderated the next round will be better.
Guild Wars 2 and Dear Esther
How does Dear Esther work for you as a go to title? I played it years ago and was under the impression that the game was beaten in a few hours with no replay value whatsoever.
What did I miss?

Creeper World 4, the daily map usually has a good duration. Takes your thoughts off everything else pretty well, yet is not too demanding. And you can vary your play style yourself a bit / set your own limitations, depending on how much of a challenge you want right now or how much time you want to spend.
The same although it might be cw3 or even particle fleet depending on the mood I'm in.
He's the only developer I support on release of the game.
Risk of Rain 2. And if that doesn't work, Risk of Rain 2.
Stellaris with the Star Trek: New Horizons mod. Currently doing a Borg run, at war with the Dominion right now, but of course, resistance is futile.
Marvel Snap
OpenTTD.
I so want to like that game, but that UI is so hard for me to get used to, I never have (after a few tries). Always glad to see it mentioned online though.
Yeah I can imagine it taking time getting used to as a new player. I played the original as a kid on DOS so the UI is deeply ingrained lol.
Balatro is my current go-to game. Not sure if it is patient gamer material since it came out relatively recently but it is cheap and on all platforms. Poker themed maths game.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
