I started playing computer games when work became less demanding in the mid 1990’s (Doom and Sim City if I recall). Nowadays I play three games from Pixel: train station 2 & 3 and port city. I also play a version of patience and mahjong. They help me exercise my brain away from work when I don’t want to read.
What other games do people play , either as a diversion or for pleasure?
Dungeons And Dragons RPGs mostly, but also what used to be called adventure games (point & click puzzles), starting, naturally, back in ‘78-79 with Bob Supnick’s eponymous text based “Adventure” on a PDP 11.
I still play transport tycoon a couple of times per year. My favourites were Sim City, Red Alert and Transport Tycoon back in the days.
I don’t do computer games as such but for brain exercise and relaxation my go to is Sudoku. Probably the most used app on my phone!
Elden ring , Sekiro , death stranding , bloodborne , nioh 1/2 , demon souls , assassin creed shadows and many more 
Halo, gears of war, civilisation, forza
I’m 55 going in 12 
I’m a huge big fan of Mekorama.
An open structure where members can post their own creations on the Mekorama forum.
A mostly cube based format that “B” bot needs to navigate to gain stars.
Some legendary members come up with some astonishingly creative puzzles to solve..
Spend a few hours a week gaming, visiting Skyrim, still. Along with a little No Man’s Sky, Witcher 3 and Civ6.
I can’t imagine ever having had time at work to play computer games, or any other, neither when I worked for the private or public sectors (in fact contrary to popular public perception the public sector was more time demanding than private). And if staff were ever caught playing games instead of working there’d have been hell to pay (so in my final nearly 30 or so years work, as a manager, I’d never have given that sort of example to my staff even if I’d have had time.
At home, decades ago, I liked to play with flight simulators, and briefly a few simple games like Bomberman and Puzzle Bubble, but I don’t think I’ve played a computer game for maybe 20 years now. I don’t seem to have any spare time to play any sort of games, what little I have being used for music enjoyment, and now getting on for 4 years after retirement I’m still waiting to find the time to do some of the things I promised myself I’d do after ceasing paid employment, such as learn to properly play the musical instruments I have! The only times I play games are on special occasions when gathered as a family, or on family holidays, when we might we play Mahjong (proper), or a board game such as Scrabble or Monopoly, or card games.
Well I guess you never worked in an organisation where they kept you away from the work that needed to be done - it’s a long story, but not one for a forum such as this.
When my work was done, I studied for a MSc. My brain needed a change of scene every now and then … hence the games.
Some years ago I was playing Real Racing 3 on my IPad. Was fun , but after one year I found it boring.
Never tried the pc games, or many many years ago.
A mere youngster.
Looking for a new game? There’s always Lawn Mower Simulator on Fire TV stick. 
The remastered oblivion ? Am thinking of getting it… replay
No, just straight up Skyrim. It is probably my favourite time sink.
30-35 years ago I was one of the architects of a global frame relay network (pre-large-scale-internet corporate data network backbone). When we deployed it my US opposite number and I realised that we needed to do real-world latency and jitter testing as well as using testers. We used a 2 player flight simulator on our Sparc stations and spent several days playing flight sim against each other (those lovely old flight sims with the green wireframe pictures) coming in through our respective nights as well to try all times of the day. It did pop up a couple of minor issues we sent for improvement, but there was some amusement as people came past my desk and watched me playing games without trying to hide it.
Red Alert came with a CD of music.
Oblivion Remastered is certainly on my Birthday Wish List, along with AC Shadow.
Just completed shadows , spending 112 hours on it.. oblivion next .. I gave up Eldon ring new online DLC.. too much Elden ring for me already 
Verdict on Shadow?
