Mechabellum.
Very easy to pick up auto-battler. Short matches, but quite a lot of tactical depth.

Another easy auto-battler would be Super auto pets. Easy to play on short breaks.

I have Trackmania Stadium for that. Going into a full speed server (Only need to steer left or right while constantly press forward) and put some music up.

The flow of the race tracks together with the music is very nice and because no speed control is needed, no need to get into the physics and tracks to enjoy the game.

I can recommend to get into Trackmania when you have more time, the feeling of mastering a hard track is marvellous, but just speeding around is also fun as hell.

Simon Tatham’s Puzzles is an amazing collection of little puzzle games. There a ports for both Android and iOS available as well.

TheEntity,

I've been playing them for about 15 years and counting. Not planning to stop anytime soon either.

    Good luck with putting that down. After the first 30 minute stage, you only want to continue

    Gonna be a bit of an out there recommendation but old Popcap games are available on Steam. They’re good casual games if you don’t mind the lack of challenge. I personally like PvZ, Zuma Deluxe and Feeding Frenzy 2

    Not so much a game recommendation but a platform, but if you don’t already have a Nintendo switch, it might suit your style.

    It lets you suspend any game at whatever point by just going to the Home Screen. You can then put down the switch and leave it for days or even weeks at a time, and then you can just turn the switch back on and pick up exactly where you left off in like 5 seconds.

    I’ve been playing heaps of the new Zelda game, whenever I get a spare moment, but also if Nintendo games aren’t your style, nowadays there’s quite a good library of other games for the switch now.

    Obviously the suspend feature doesn’t work for multiplayer games though, and to be honest I’ve found multiplayer in general doesn’t work as well on switch as other platforms, but it really is great for quick sessions of single-player games.

    Also being portable is a great bonus

    curiousgoo,

    Now I am thinking about how insane it would be for MP gamers when someone puts the game on hold for an indiscriminate amount of time.

    jabib,

    Don’t even have to go to the home screen! You can just press the power button or long press the home button to access the Sleep option in the quick menu. When you resume, it will default to resuming in the game rather resuming to the home screen!

    Getting my TotK on with this right now despite being busy

    I’ll second the recommendation of Dorfromantik, and I’ll also add Islanders, which has a similar vibe but different visuals and gameplay.

    In both cases, you’re given pieces that need to be placed on the map in order to score points, and that’s the extent of a round, which makes it very easy to play for a couple of minutes, then put it down until later.

    Into the Breach would work. You can turn off the game at any point and come back to it, thanks to it saving after every turn. Plays a lot like chess, with different abilities and enemy types to keep things interesting. Highly recommend!

    Wholeheartedly agree. Bought it on PC and played for countless hours. Later bought it again on Switch, played even more. Recently picked it up again, as fun as ever!

    Also incidentally comes as a phone app with your Netflix subscription!

    What in the world? That was not a brand deal I would have expected.

    I really enjoyed Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. It’s on PC and consoles, but if you have Netflix on your phone you can play it there as well.

    Overwatch 2. Since the changes from old Overwatch, there is no real point in anything other than Quick Play, which means 5-10 minute games, and you are free to leave at any moment

    Bloons Tower Defense 6 is easy to get into and also can return to the level if you quit out.

  • aperson,

    No mention of Demoncrawl? If you like rougelikes and minesweeper, there’s no better game.

    Forgive me for boosting my own thread; I just want to make sure this tutorial is visible on "hot", since this is a potential fix to a problem a lot of people are having.

    You might want to give Dauntless a shot. I haven't played it in a while, but it's basically a free monster hunter clone. The graphics weren't up to MH levels, but the combat is solid and the crafting system is pretty fun.

    Stillhart,

    Counterpoint: Dauntless kinda sucks. It’s made by the Fortnite guys and it feels like a MTX shop with a bad MH clone pasted on the top.

    But hey, it’s free. Doesn’t hurt to check it out and decide for yourself.

    Cavemanfreak,

    It’s not made by Epic Games, it’s just the launcher they are using (to the annoyance of many of us who bought early access which had their own launcher). It was pretty good in EA, but I haven’t tried it since so I can’t say how it is now. Might pick it up on the switch to try it between Diablo sessions…

    It seems to be more or less on life support now. Recycled battlepasses, not a lot of fresh content, slow rollout of promised features. Still, you can have a lot of fun with that game if you've never played it before.

    For me, I’ve been getting into souls-like games. They scratch a similar itch to MH when it comes to skill-based play. There’s a new one coming out in a few days called Remnant 2 that looks to be on the less punishing side. Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for but worth checking out to see if you haven’t heard of it.

    VulcanDeathGrip,

    +1 for Remnant 2. The first one was a sleeper hit for me and my friends. I don’t believe they have stated what crossplay will be like yet though.

    ObiGynKenobi,

    Remnant 1 was great, but Remnant 2 was"designed with upscaling in mind", which translates to “we couldn’t be bothered to optimize anything”, so even a cutting edge gaming system can’t hold a consistent 60fps without upscaling enabled. Something to be aware of.
