For a few years I played a lot of skyrim. I've done many builds and challenges to make the game harder without going to high in difficulty but I burned myself out and can't get myself to play it long term.

System shock 2 is brilliant. Runs on a toaster too, and on GOG it's DRM free so slap that bad boy on any laptop you have.
Mostly I play No Man's Sky right now, but I occasionally go back to elite dangerous and/or Mass Effect.
Super Mario 64 romhacks, but who am I kidding, I never stop working.
Get a break from working, my dude!
I usually have my regular games that I use to disconnect: FIFA, NBA2K, Rocket League offline, SimCity4, Anno 1404, RDR2
And also other more intensive games that I play if I'm in the mood: just finished GoW Ragnarok, started The Witcher 3
Just a perfect mix of 80s-90s rock, some weed and Diablo IV. Really hits the spot.
Lately it’s been War Thunder. Finally got it set up nicely with my Quest 2 and it’s pretty damn good in VR.
Been playing phoenotopia: awakening in whatever spare time I have for the past little while. It's been a good time!
Satisfactory or RDR2. Depends on the how the work day went.
Transport Fever 2 has consumed my free time. It's like a time machine, I open the game and I'm launched 4 hours into the future
Usually play some Doom 1 or 2, a level or an episode, or Minecraft if I have more time, but I'm in a boring replay/comfort phase because work is kicking my ass atm
Started playin monster train. It scratches the itch of finishing something in 1-2 hours and while they're very similar I feel like it's a bit more forgiving than "slay the spire".
For the last few weeks it was Sons Of The Forest. But now that my wife and I finished the story and are waiting to lose ourselves for months in Baldurs Gate 3, we've been filling the time with Green Hell, another survival game in a similar vein to SotF. So far the constant struggle to stay on top of food, water, and injuries has been kinda frustrating, but hopefully that headache will go away once the systems start to make more sense.
Forza Horizon 5, have been playing racing games for a lot of years and the Forza games are easy to pick up for a few races. You can also just cruise around the open world map.
Hotline Miami
Ahh so I see you enjoy some "brainless" (I mean some parts can be brainless, especially if you know the stage pretty well) slaughter after work.
The same games I would enjoy on my day off.
Still playing Diablo 4 pretty much whenever I have downtime for gaming.
Fallout 4. Current playthrough is no armoured melee playthrough
Infection free zone demo. Post apocalyptic colony Sim with maps based off the open street view. is pretty fun.
Starship troopers: Extermination. 16 player coop fps where we fight the bug menace. Service guarantees citizenship.
If I'm knackered it's Noita, if I have some energy left I'm pwning noobs in Population 1.
I have a group of friends that I have been playing CSGO with every night for years. We now all have over several thousand hours and don't really play seriously on low rank and just have fun together. I couldn't not play the game tryhard after a day at work...but then with so much experience it's not a problem anymore.

Destiny. But I'm waiting so hard for Starfield.
Same I hope it will be good. I've been wanting a good space game but I can't get into no man's sky.
Lately it's been Persona 4 Golden on the Vita and Zelda ToTK.
Zelda because you can change your play style easily, sometimes I just want to build stuff, other times I want to explore the map, fight monsters, or do side quests. Sometimes I'll sit there and spend a bunch of time preparing meals for a future play sessions.
Persona 4 I keep coming back to for the story and overall experience - music, voice acting, and even just navigating menus is so stylistic and top notch. I started my playthrough in 2019 though and am barely picking it back up.
On days I have more energy I've been playing Freedom Planet 2 for some action platforming as well.
Between Xbox and steam deck:
Recently I finished it takes two with my daughter, looking for new couch coops to play with her. For my own gaming time, getting bored of Diablo IV, Dave the diver was fun for a while but I'm ready for something else, maybe will get back into valheim.
DYO is a great free couch coop puzzle game on steam.
If you can play in seperate rooms, the We Were Here series is outstanding. As well as Escape Academy, which is much more child friendly.
Side scroller wise on the same machine. Ibb and Obb or Unravel 1 and 2 are fantastic couch coop games.
Yes, I love coop games. Just wish there were more. Feel I've.played them all already.
Awesome, thanks for the suggestions! Unravel (2) was one of the first games we played together, it was the the perfect game to introduce her to because asymmetrical skill doesn't hurt the game at all, actually it even helps.
I agree with you on the limited local co-op games out there. I feel like I've played them all. Online co-op will be an option when I fix my PC, but the couch experience is hard to beat.
Right now I'm hard addicted to Remnant 2. Been playing it pretty much every day after work this week. Phenomenal game.
Same, been having a blast with engineer so far
I've been playing Dinkum a lot lately. A cross between Stardew and Animal Crossing, but with an Australian theme. Real chill if you want it to be.
Right now I'm into racing as I just got a new wheel. So like Asseto Corsa Competizion or F1 23
