Lately, I’ve found myself feeling quite bored with gaming. This year, the only two games I’ve managed to finish are Cyberpunk 2077 and Watch Dogs 1 (which I surprisingly enjoyed after giving it a second chance). With family commitments, I don’t have endless hours to dedicate to gaming, so I’m looking for something I can easily pick up and play without needing a whole day to figure things out. I’d appreciate any suggestions for games that suit this kind of busy lifestyle, as I have access to many games but I’m not sure which ones to invest my limited time in.

Consider getting into platformers or racing games—like *Trackmania* or *Mario Kart.* They let you play a quick session and still feel accomplished without a big time commitment. Also, *Sifu* offers bite-sized chunks of gameplay that are perfect for a busy schedule.
Have you thought about games like *Outer Wilds*? Each gameplay loop is around 20-30 minutes, making it a good fit for quick sessions. Just make sure to avoid spoilers, as the mystery is a big part of its charm. It’s really engaging and perfect for those little pockets of free time.
You should definitely check out *Slay the Spire,* *Hades,* or *Vampire Survivors.* These games are perfect for short sessions and have that addictive quality that keeps you coming back for just ‘one more round.’ Also, *Balatro* is worth looking into! It gives you a quick and fun experience every time you play.
If you’re looking for something smaller and with a strong narrative, try games like *Firewatch* or *What Remains of Edith Finch.* They don’t take long to finish and have great storytelling. It might reignite your passion for gaming and lead you back to more mainstream titles later on.
I’m adding all those to my list! I usually play smaller, less complex games but Cyberpunk was an exception. Getting back to those story-driven experiences sounds perfect.
You might enjoy *Gunfire Reborn* for some quick FPS action. Each run is relatively short, and you can easily save progress. Plus, the mix of RPG elements and shooter mechanics keeps it fresh! Try squeezing in some rounds during your breaks.
I’ve actually just started playing *Gunfire Reborn* and I’m having a blast! I’m already digging the gameplay and would love to reach the next boss!
I need to give *Hades* another shot; I didn’t quite get into it the first time. But I’m a fan of those other three!
