If you are one of the millions of people who now work from home and find your working day to be long, consider taking regular short breaks. It is easy to get completely focussed on one task to find that you have done nothing but that for hours without a break. Productivity suffers, and it makes sense to do something else for five or ten minutes every hour to give you a change of pace and keep concentration levels high. When you have poured hours into a task, why not get up, grab yourself a coffee and settle down to some exceptional quality gaming for 10 minutes. These games are great for quick pick-up and play sessions and will give you a brief respite from your working world.

The Witcher: Wild Hunt 3

While this game is quite old by today's standards, it is still one of the best PC games of the last decade by some margin and holds its own against newer titles to this day. It is a sprawling RPG set in a medieval world with sumptuous graphics, a believable world and lore, and huge depth. Play as Geralt as he traverses the wilderness, completing quests, fighting a huge variety of monsters, and leveling up skills to gain combat mastery. Some critics view this game as one of the best games on PC of all time, and rightly so. Grab a brew and sink ten minutes into the wild hunt!

Microsoft Flight Simulator

Take to the skies on your coffee break as you fly an impressive variety of planes across the world in all its photo-realistic glory with Microsoft Flight Simulator. The latest incarnation of this ultra-popular flight sim series is quite graphics and CPU intensive (especially if you opt for live weather conditions). Make sure your PC or laptop has a modern graphics card and CPU capable of running the game, such as the range of computers sold by Lenovo.com that can handle such cutting-edge processing requirements. The level of depth and the believability of the simulation models offered is truly incredible. It makes a perfect game to test your piloting skills and is considered the absolute best the gaming industry has to offer for quality flight simulators.

Forza Horizon 4

If you want to swap planes for high-performing sports cars on your break, then Forza Horizon 4 is quite possibly the best racing game available on PC. It has simply jaw-dropping recreations of some of the world's best performance cars from Abarth to Zenvo, with firm favorites like Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini having a variety of models available to drive. The vehicle physics are superb, and the sense of speed is incredible as you race across truly open-world routes. Online connectivity is strong, and it is easy to join in with your friends on group races and events. IGN scored a massive 9.6/10 when reviewing Forza Horizon 4, describing it as "amazing." Just remember to go back to your desk and continue your working day after loading this game up, as while it offers excellent pick-up and play entertainment, it may be difficult to game for just a coffee break!
