Recommendations for short session games with materialistic progress made with each session (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I am not a professional gamer nor do I have much time to invest into a game in one stretch. However I do enjoy the cumulative progress I make with each session I have with the games, specifically progress of acquiring loot, money, powers or in-game materials. Are there any games that try to match my interests?

An example of such games would be Papa Louie's food games. Though these are very simplistic and made for kids, their per-day game sessions (which last about 10 minutes) perfectly fit the idea of the type of game I am looking for. (I could have come up with a more appropriate or mature example, but that is exactly the point why I am looking for similar games.)

I have looked into the genre of roguelikes, however the basic premise of these games are that they start all over again from each session, which is what I am trying to avoid.

I can play on PC (controller included) and mobile. Apart from this, I would really appreciate if the game is under 10GB, single-player and is just easy in general to understand and play.

I found this game a little hard to get into personally since it seems to tell you very little of what to do in some areas. I do need to pick it up and try again soon though

There is always abundant information on pretty much exactly what to do for each puzzle, but its not always were you'd expect to find it. I got totally stuck on one planet looked up the solution and could not imagine anyone ever thinking to try it. Of course, turns out another character had already been there, and the game tells you he had already been there, and he tells you exactly what to do if you can find him.

So when I did the dlc I just trusted solutions would show up eventually and managed to complete the whole thing with no guides.

I had the same problem, and a friend pushed me to try it a second time. It was absolutely worth it. I'd say if you get stuck on one "puzzle," go somewhere else and see what you can find. The shipboard computer is also helpful at pointing out where you missed something or what to look for next.
