This has been my gaming life for the last year or so; with work being tough and having a second child, and it really has shown me what my comfort genres are. I have been playing through Ubisoft games, last two were AC Odyssey and Far Cry 5, they're good as they feel like games you can play on autopilot. Normally that'd be a negative.
Another genre that works is strategy games, I've replayed xcom 2 and am currently playing Valkyria Chronicles 4. As you don't need to react in real time the pace is pretty good. I can imagine VNs would work, too, so I'll try Shibuya Scramble and Ace Attorney next.
