After Work Gaming: What games do you enjoy mostly after a day of work?
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?

My jam is an indie game called Warsim! It's got a delightful arena battle minigame that you can bet on, complete with audience interference, a spike pit, and goblin streakers. After that, you can have a pint of various drinks in one of dozens of unique taverns, and round out the evening by presiding over the royal court and issuing decrees, proclamations, and dropping unruly petitioners through my personal trapdoor.
It's been a few months since I played it, and I remember I really enjoyed it at the time but ended up feeling a bit limited in what I could do: after the truly magical first few hours, everything seemed to devolve into a game all about numbers and lacking actual depth. Has there been interesting updates since?
Oh, most definitely! They added a ton of random encounters, throne room encounters, and a crap-ton of other content. It's got waaay more stuff, including QoL stuff like the ability to invade more than once. Highly recommend another look!
