I am looking for a game i can play while being bored. I want it to be simple and let me just pay no attention and have fun. I want it to be easy to pick up but also doesnt hold you in to where you feel committed, something i can pop into for anywhere between 5 min and 5 hours at a time. Money doesnt really matter. I dont want it to be a game ive played before (I.e left for dead and things like that) I also want to be able to learn it really fast. NOT MULTIPLAYER!

 

Any suggestions?

Metal Gear Rising, Revengeance. All slahsing and hacking is awesome and all story stuff you can just skip if you don't feel like watching a cutscene.

 

Insurgency and CS:GO are two great shooters (Insurgency is a bit like a more realistic Counter Strike, I quite like it) that both use a failry short round system for the most part, a match should take like 15 minutes. Battlefield should work, is mindless-er than those two.

 

Super Hexagon is a personal go-to to reset my brain.

The Sims series.

Never tried them. Any good ones?

 

Bah, reading books is for poor people! Why read a book when you can read text in games. My suggestions:

Papers. Please.

Poker 2 Night at the Inventory

Roller Coaster Tycoon 3

Civ 5?

Worms

Papers please seems far from mindless :D. I suck at poker. Where would i get roller coaster tycoon? I have Civ 5 and play it a decent amount but im taking a break. Meh

 

Next car game technology demo

Played it, got bored.

Yeah after I put down Papers. Please. I realized what I did. Takes a lot of attention.

Now about that roller coaster tycoon, steam has it. probably can find it cheap off of amazon on disk or something. it goes on sale on steam every now and then. I understand the civ 5 break. you dont have to be good a poker to play night at the inventory. it is really about the goofy comentary because of the characters in it. it is not a serious game. check out worms too!
