I have a few games that I am playing at the moment, but a lot of them require at least some time commitment once you start a round. I’d like something that I can start now and maybe finish later. Something on the line of Solitaire or https://mergetin.com/ .

    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

      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

      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.
