When I was kid, I could sit in front of TV for hours and sink a day or two away into a game and have no problem having to start the game over from the beginning. Time meant nothing to me and I wasted it like it was a near infinite resource.

Now I am a parent and ain’t got time for some of the nonsense that’s in games nowadays. I’m lucky if I have even an hour to play each night.

A good example: Forza Horizon 5 allows you to switch cars mid game without traveling back to a house. That to me is a huge time saver compared to the recent NFS games.

Contrarily, Forza Motorsport (2023) makes you do qualifications every round. While realistic, a big time sink.

That said, what are some of your favorite games that have respect for your limited time?

    Yup, can confirm. I’ll often start out assuming I’ll have 1-2 hours, but about 10-15 min in, I need to handle stuff (kid is sick, wife needs IT help, etc). It’s fantastic. :)

      Can also confirm, my only gaming time is my 25 minute ride in public transit. This makes 50 minutes of gaming time where I used to have none.
