    I found so many adorable little short games that are nonetheless amazing fun. Tinykin, cat quest, troll hunters, stray… none of those are over 10 hours, even if you achievement hunt. Maybe stray, since you have to beat it more than once.

    Like they don’t have to be super long to be super good. And sometimes you only have the energy to play my little pony (actually fun and super quick because it’s made for small kids, and sometimes you just want something that takes 2 hours to get 100% on because that’s the mood…)

    I normally prefer super long exploration games, but those get old. Especially when they are all filler content like run here run there kill 5 things then go back to the same place 6 more times for dumb little quests you could have done all at once if they just gave them to you… I like 100%, but man they often make that so very tedious.

      Yea, I’m prepared for downvoted but this is why mobile games are so popular. That, a few good sessions of black ops 2/3 zombies. And I’m good. My kids do the fortnite thing.

        You aren’t wrong. I freakin love mobile games, very addictive. I don’t play them anymore… bad habits form for me…

        Roguelike games can have a similar appeal tho; turn it on, do a dive or two for 20-40 min, then come back next time.
