If this article resonates with you, here are some games I'd recommend you try. They are all indie puzzle games, they can all be easily picked up and put down in a moment, and they're all fairly cross platform.

- Monument Valley

- A Good Snowman Is Hard to Build

- Mini Metro

- Braid

- The Witness

- Snakebird

- Gunpoint

All great recommendations. More indie gems:

- Spelunky

- Don't Starve

- Factorio

- Stardew Valley

- Faster than Light

- Kerbal Space Program

- Dungeon Warfare (if you're a TD fan)

- Return of Obra Dinn

- Cities: Skylines

- Frostpunk

- All Zachtronic's games

- RimWorld

- Darkest Dungeon

Factorio was great at first, but at some point it felt like work. I'm a systems engineer, and I begun asking myself why I'm doing this, when it's basically what I do all day long.

Spelunky <3 That game took so much of my time, and the soundtrack brings back happy memories of watching my baby sister while dying to snakes over and over and over again.

The Talos Principle is a great first person puzzle game, if you liked Portal you'll probably enjoy it.

If this is turning into a recommendation thread...

  - Celeste
  - Into the Breach

- A House of Many Doors

- OneShot

- The Talos Principle

- Portal, if you haven't already played it

- Submachine

- The Myst series

- The Room series

- The Tomorrow Corporation collection

- Anything by Amanita Design
