Not sure it really counts as "games" necessarily, but what I find works very well for me are logic puzzles. Not super challenging ones, ones leaning to the easier side really. Coupled with a podcast or something, it puts my mind at ease in a strange way. Keeps my problem solving brain engaged just enough to distract it from stuff, while still letting me absorb whatever I'm listening to.
Games like the Hexcells series, Pictopix, Voxelgram, or just straight-up classic logic puzzles like Sudoku or Hashi.
Currently playing a game called "14 Minesweeper Variants", which has a crazy amount of content in it. Is it good? Maybe. It's probably not great. But it works for me.
