Older: Command and Conquer Generals. I’ve started playing it with my kid which is fun. Newer: Rocket League. It’s been fun especially when I stop caring about ranking up. It’s just a game and I can play for 10 minutes and walk away.

The newish C&C Remastered has been one of my comfort food games the last few years. I’d love a Generals Remastered though!
Borderlands 1
It's the perfect game. The story is tight. The builds and weapons are fun. It's not too grindy, but you can benefit from grinding if you want to. The post-apocalyptic trash planet setting has yet to be diluted and the characters have yet to be flanderized by later entries in the series.
It's a game that I can pick up anytime and just vibe. My favorite part is collecting all of Tannis' ECHO Logs throughout the game and getting to follow along with her trauma and descent into madness.
It helps that it has the second best DLC in the series to date. Secret Armoury of General Knox is chef's kiss. Assault on Dragon Keep is only better by a hair.
Don't Starve Together. I suck at it, but I love opening up the map and building up my base.
Idle games or incremental games are my go-to for casual play. At the moment I'm playing through NGU Idle mainly because It's a super slow burn but unlocks lots of goofy features over time. I've been progressing for a couple years now.
Halo 3, any of the older guitar hero or rock band games. Or OSRS.
Killing Floor. I'll probably be playing that game till the day I die.
Dragon Quest!
I have over 500 hours in Particle Fleet: Emergence. Very chill level-based game where you can slowly move forward and beat a map over an hour or so. All the Knuckle Cracker games have tons and tons of user content available so there's no shortage of maps to play.
