Survivor games which are very similar to roguelites can also be an option. Vampire Survivors being the big one. Runs are up to 30 minutes long with permanent unlocks in the form of characters and new power ups or boosts.

It's a great lesson in how important elections are. Trump was able to appoint multiple supreme court justices which have shaped the future of America for years due to their most recent decisions and will continue to shape it for decades after he is gone.
Haven't quite decided.
Was looking at the remastered Mana series for nostalgia. Possibly Horizon:Zero Dawn or God of War since I haven't played either yet.
I've definitely picked up most things in the OP, but there are always new games getting added to my wishlist.
I just slowly work my way through my wishlist and pick up a few games each sale.
Yeah I fully expect reddit to replace the moderators but it will take time and effort to select the right people.
If all the mods who protested actually resigned or moved their subs to being unmoderated it would've crippled the site, reddit would not be able to replace them quick enough.
It's unfortunate that the threat alone was enough to get most of them to reopen.
It's definitely worth a play.
Only real complaint is that the last half of the game feels a bit rushed and it seems to setup for a sequel that may or may not ever come.
Gonna throw one of my own in here, I recently played an indie title, Mages of Mystralia which allows you to customize spells by adding runes that modify the spells behavior, and can modify elements in the late game.
It has essentially what is a board to build your spells where you have to place and chain the modifying runes by their connection points, which serves as the balancing, and part of the limiting factor of what can be combined and in what order.
Very interesting concept, but unfortunately the game is rather short, so you have very little time to experiment with the spells before the game ends, and while a sequel was announced, it seems the studio may have gone under during COVID.
Iron Danger.
It's an indie tactical RPG that's RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don't work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it's linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it's lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it's an interesting take on the style of combat.
I would third control. I picked it up from the Humble female protagonist bundle and it was fantastic, loved everything about it.
Once you unlock all the powers the combat and exploration really open up, and the game still has a significant bit of story left giving you time to have some fun with them.
Also loved the environmental lore, all the notes and the vids with Dr. Darling are great. Highly recommend the game.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sat on the reddit board for years and was briefly CEO for 8 days.
They messaged /r/Finland and told them that a small subset of users voting on the poll is doing a disservice to the users who don't vote.
Apparently on reddit, not voting is the equivalent of a no vote. Imagine if real life politics worked that way.
Reddit also lied, they said the sub got 20m unique visitors per month while the moderators can see those stats themselves and said the sub only gets 20k-30k unique visitors.
You might enjoy Control.
It's by the same devs as Alan Wake and has an Alan Wake tie in DLC since they take place in the same universe. It's fairly linear with some optional side missions. The setting is similar to SCP if you're familiar with that. You're in an office building dedicated to an organization that contains extra-dimensional threats and there's been a breach that has to be contained.
Story is pretty straight forward but there are some humorous notes and videos you can find that help explain the primary story and some of the objects that are being contained in the bureau.
