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.

...Except this isn't true of what we'd traditionally call rogue-lites, which is really most roguelikes these days. The vast, vast majority have a lot of meta progression systems to the point where people actually expect it these days.

For example with Binding of Isaac, you unlock items and story beats with certain milestones like "beat the final boss 10 times" or "use this item while having this effect", and these allow you to progress further into the story and also unlock new items. I'd suggest giving Hades a shot if binding of Isaac doesn't look appealing to you, very nice andrelativrly east rougelite.
