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?

    For me the biggest one is my current “filler MMORPG” of choice, which has been Final Fantasy XIV for the past few years.

    The reason this works so well for me is:

    • By and large these games allow you to invest however much (hardcore raids) or little (dailies/weeklies) brain and attention into their gameplay as you desire, which is important after work when my brain is all mush from coding.
    • Light social interaction helps not completely feel like I’ve “shut down for the night” yet.
    • If I want to I can chat about daily things with my friends/guild.

    It’s the right combination of ultralight gameplay and light social interaction to allow me to come down from work mode. 😁
