I still play FTL: Faster than Light [0]. It's a rogue like, so if you die, you die. You command a starship that you get to upgrade, crew and fight with. It's one of those "easy to pick up, hard to master" games. Released in 2012, still fun to play. You can play for a minute or for hours, the sound track is good. Wikipedia says game play is realtime [1], but you can pause the game, queue up a set of actions and watch them play out. So this is definitely not a reaction based game and therefore it's low stress/adrenaline...that is until you get a boarder teleporting in, and your oxygen levels are falling precipitously because you had to vent a bunch of compartments to stop a fire, and the oxygen generator has been down since the last fight.

Anyway, one of my favourite games. Recommended.
