After starting work, I feel so tired every day, so I just want to play some casual games. Recently, I’m playing survivor-like games like Vampire Survivors and Darkchaser. They’re simple and fun, but after a while, they get a bit boring. So, I’m looking for other casual game recommendations, preferably single-player games that can be paused at any time, like Plants vs Zombies. Thanks!

      This really depends on the type of person you are. I find with the time pressure each in-game day that every time I launch it I get caught up in a mess of wiki pages and spreadsheets figuring out the ideal crops to plant and when, what gifts people like and when to gift them, etcetera etcetera. It became stressful and I stopped playing it after finishing most of the main objectives.

        You can play it, at your rythm,
        Performance isnt mandatory,

        You can learn the game before going “meta”, discovering things by yourself, etc.
        Do not compare yourself to others or directly going on a wiki, to start paying it…

        Perfection is fun with time. Its a solo game, why you should run it for real ?

      As long as you realize you don’t have to eat and the time constraints aren’t as tough as it first seems.
