Watching my kids play Animal Crossing, got me thinking about some of my favorite casual, escapist or story-driven games I’ve played on my PC over the past year or so. I launched Steam and was surprised to see how many casual games I’ve enjoyed. Going down the list brought back a lot of fond memories, and I decided I should capture a few of my very favorites in a blog post.
