I am not a professional gamer nor do I have much time to invest into a game in one stretch. However I do enjoy the cumulative progress I make with each session I have with the games, specifically progress of acquiring loot, money, powers or in-game materials. Are there any games that try to match my interests?
An example of such games would be Papa Louie’s food games. Though these are very simplistic and made for kids, their per-day game sessions (which last about 10 minutes) perfectly fit the idea of the type of game I am looking for. (I could have come up with a more appropriate or mature example, but that is exactly the point why I am looking for similar games.)
I have looked into the genre of roguelikes, however the basic premise of these games are that they start all over again from each session, which is what I am trying to avoid.
I can play on PC (controller included) and mobile. Apart from this, I would really appreciate if the game is under 10GB, single-player and is just easy in general to understand and play.
I’m not sure if it’s under 10GB, but Cozy Grove is really nice. It’s on Steam and probably a console or two.
You’re a Spirit Scout, and every day you check in with some spirits on an island you shipwrecked on, and gather some materials, and do some dailies. It has many things that Animal Crossing also has, but it’s really ideal played for 10-30 minutes a day. There’s no real penalty to putting it down for a few months other than missing holidays. Super cute watercolor visual style.
Seconding this. Haven’t played the expansion but enjoyed the main game.
