I find myself in a predicament of not having enough time to game hours on end anymore. Life’s gotten so busy I can manage about an hour or 2 of play time per day.

I feel like getting started on massive games like Persona 5 or Baldur’s Gate 3 might be a problem since they require hours long investment. With an hour a day, I’ll probably finish such games in mid-2026.

Therefore for those with busy and hectic lives, what are you currently gaming? How long do you spend on gaming per day?

I've had it a little longer than that and I've reached the end I think. I have a few games I haven't played or finished like Tsushima and GoW Ragnarok but honestly I'm not really interested.

I'm posting not asking for recommendations but rather just wondering what are you guys still doing after all this time? If you're like me, you've likely gone through the whole PlayStation catalogue in your 7 or more years.

PS5 prices seem to keep increasing and with the new digital only, I'm most definitely not going to be getting the PS6. With all the AI demands, PC parts are at insane prices. So I don't see that happening anytime soon either.

I'm hoping to hear from folks that aren't just strictly online players. Online games can definitely hold you for a long time with new content, so not much to wonder there. I'm more interested in single player gamers.

Personally, I've been on RDR2 rerun and have AC Valhalla to finish. After that, I would consider my PS4 era finished.

Huge and beautiful open world which once again feels empty, with bland, unrewarding and unsatisfying sidequests, errands and characters. Locations of interest and dungeons are starting to become repetitive, and as a completionist this is extremely frustrating because I like to check every question mark available. Combat is the same as before with machines being overly aggressive, which makes combat a rolling/concentration fest that in the end becomes repetitive and unsatisfying. Spear combat has improved for sure, but I rarely use it when fighting machines unless I go for critical hits.

This is one of the reasons I try to avoid combat in Horizon whenever possible. Bandit camps are also suffering from past game’s direction, stealth in this game is never as satisfying as in other games like Arkham Knight or even any Assassin’s Creed. I just don’t see Aloy terrorizing bandits, this is something that always feels wrong with her personality/character. Wish she had some other tools to do stealth combat, like a special dagger she can only use in those circumstances.

The game is gorgeous and much improved over HZD but I can’t believe I’m having more sense of wonder and general satisfaction in Elden Ring which I think is a much simpler game.

Edit: Sorry for my bad descriptions of combat, I don’t find combat hard at all I just find it annoying/repetitive because I have to resort to the same strategy with every type of machine so far, which is ropecasting, find weakpoints/weaknesses and concentration away.

Edit2: Just completed first cauldron after 16 hours. They haven’t changed anything from HZD on these, same endless climbing and very little reward at the end. Incredibly unsatisfying and tedious.
