I play Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 in this vein occasionally.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 as well, although it does sometimes result in me losing concentration and smashing into the central reservation...
For me it's partially because with kids around it's hard to play something without needing to leap off at any second, so something I don't need to pay much attention to works far better than a storyline I wind up missing most of.
