I am not a regular gamer, but once or twice in the week I am indulging in some after work gaming. Mostly I enjoy games that are either story rich to put different thoughts in my mind or games with a simple, but enjoyable gameplay (not too much micromanagement).

Here are my favorites for an after work gaming spree:

Football Manager (mainly 2008 and 2014 edition)
Citizen Sleeper
Suzerain
Disco Elysium
The Long Dark
Dave the Diver
Hotline Miami
System Shock 2
The Long Drive

What about you, what do you play after work (even occasionally) to get your mind off or do you have any suggestions in general?

Unless you're a really high-level athlete, you won't go anywhere near those calories burned. A marathon runner spends about 10-15 calories per minute. You're saying that you are active for 1h straight, without breaks, at an activity level that matches marathon runners?

Yeah, maybe? I couldn't go at that level for 5-6 hours straight but in 30-45 minute segments? Why not? Why is that so unbelievable?

Everyone in my clan says I'm a monster from a stamina perspective, haha. Here's a ~19-minute, 9 ⭐ map I beat without pausing 6 months ago and I'm way more in shape now than I was back then:
