dtgreene: Since you mentioned Super Hexagon, maybe I could suggest VVVVVV? I wouldn't call it slow paced, but there's no rush (outside of time trial, which is optional, and it's only required if you want to legitimately unlock No Death Mode, which you probably don't care about anyway), and checkpoints are extremely common. Also, VVVVVV has the unlockable Super Graviton mode, which is a nice little minigame, and if you don't want to have to unlock it normally, there is a menu option that will do that for you.
You could also look at turn based RPGs, like the earlier Might and Magic games. World of Xeen is quite good, as is MM3. (MM1 and MM2 only let you save at the inn, so they're less friendly for this purpose.)
Roguelikes might not be so casual, but they are definitely playable, as in true roguelikes (as opposed to roguelites) time does not pass unless you're providing some input. In other words, if you need to leave the game on short notice, you can do so, and enemies won't kill you while you attend to other business outside the game. (Might and Magic 1-5 are also like this.)
You could also try turn based strategy games, like Civilization 3 or Alpha Centauri. Just be aware that, later in the game, turns can take a while.
By the way, it might be worth knowing how long your breaks are; some games are suitable if you have the occasional 30 minute break, but might not work for 5 minute bursts, for example.
I will add my break length into my post. Thanks. I have played VVVVVV. Not slow paced. But yes, that is a nice little game. It is so funny that you mentioned the Might and Magic games, becuase I was just looking at those. I am going to check out the ones you mentioned. I actually think I own most if not all of them, so that will give me many options.
chimera2025: I am looking for some super casual games to play on work breaks since I am still sitting at home while I work. I have been playing super hexagon, but I want others to play as well. Just kinda curious what kind of other games are out there that are more on the casual side. Preferably slow paced. Thanks.
BreOl72: The Artifex Mundi HOGs are slow paced:
https://www.gog.com/games?devpub=artifex_mundi&page=1&sort=popularity Wow!! Awesome. I have some of those. Already installed one and I am going to check it out.
PaterAlf: The
Braveland would be perfect. Super casual TBS game and each level can be completed in just a few minutes.
Checking it out. I don't have that one yet. Looks interesting. Thanks.
chimera2025: Lol. No it isn't. That's why I want recommendations for some that are. I am also going to check that one out. Thank you.
TheMonkofDestiny: Fair enough. I thought maybe you were some multi-dimensional being operating on some level well beyond the reflexes of a normal human or something.
I like to think so, but then my kids remind me that I am a mere mortal. lol
