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!

    Sounds like you’re ready for the wonderful universe of TBS games (Turn Based Strategy). There a soo many sub genres but you can filter the steam shop for turn-based and read reviews and recommendations. Some personal highlights:

    • Civilization (5 and 6)
    • Heroes of Might and Magic (get HoMM 3 on GOG!)
    • Old World
    • Battle Brothers
    • Dorfromantik
    • Magic: The Gathering Arena
    • RimWorld (with pause)
    • Cities Skylines 2 (not rly TBS but you can pause)
    • For The King
    • Total War: Warhammer III (I do auto battles)
    • Wartales
    • The Last Spell
    • Stoneshard
    • Age of Wonders 4
    • Mechabellum (semi TBS)

      Is Rimworld chill though? It’s been sitting on my waitlist for a while, but I’m still a bit…afraid. Doesn’t each colony ultimately go to shit?

        There is an end goal apparently. But in my 40+ hrs played, never been able to build a spaceship. So In practice, yea that’s about right.
