I prefer to wait until after new games are released so that I can read reviews and allow developers to patch their games properly. In my experience, games tend to improve over time with more bug fixes, added story content, and discounts.

I enjoy casual games that don't require me to constantly try hard or compete with players who have more time to dedicate to gaming.

Do you have any recommendations for a casual game that would be suitable for a patient gamer like myself?

Any preference for a genre? I love to casually play single player RPGs. I'm currently playing Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. If you are unfamiliar with Assassin's Creed and you don't care about graphics, don't sleep on Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations. Easy one of the best trilogies out there. So much content, so perfectly crafted.

Another RPG that's a lot of fun is the Borderlands series, particularly Borderlands 2.

Say you're not looking for an RPG. Telltale has some games that won't cause any stress in gameplay, they are interactive stories.

Sea of Thieves is well made as well. They have a specific mode if you don't want to meet other players. Sessions can take a long time, though.

If you like automotive games, you could check out The Crew. It's not complicated to drive those cars. However, I found the interface very confusing and Ubisoft tries to get you to spend money in-game a LOT.

Tabletop Racing is another fun lil racegame that's not too complicated.

Pressure is a fun lil casual game.

Pokémon is always something that can entertain for a while. You can install an emulator on Windows called VisualBoyAdvance. Find yourself a ROM of Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow, Silver/Gold/Crystal or Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. The last of the three in the set is different from the first two, it follows the anime more closely. The difference between the first two is in the Pokémon you'll encounter and not much else. If you have a Switch, the remakes do pretty well. But then again, Nintendo will always ask 60 bucks for that.
