While I mostly agreed another good application would be survival/crafting games with limited inventory. Or even games like Skyrim where you can put almost every object into your inventory.
With survival/crafting, I tend to lump them in with tension-builders. Even in the calm ones, it’s that extra bit of time, that little effort that only takes seconds but builds up into your whole day. It fits the experience, you’re facing time as much as your own needs and desires.

But yeah it’s overused.
