I don’t have hundreds or even dozens of hours to play around. Sometimes I have maybe 15 minutes once or twice a week.
It’s too late for me now, but I would’ve liked a game that’s a quick blast of fun. It can even be a long game, as long as I can make one step of progress in 15 minutes, it would work.
By convention, they often adopt the "roguelite" tag in some way or another, to represent a that there's a divide between play session and some kind of long-term metaprogression that accumulates as you keep playing sessions.
Developers keep crossing that "roguelite" design model with every other type of genre you can imagine: dungeon crawlers, platformers, deck-builders, city builders, rpgs, pachinko, solitaire, tower defense, 4X strategy, poker, etc
Not even enough time for all the updates before you can actually play.
This has been challenging to sit around the PS5 to update the system, then the firmware of the controller (!), and then the game itself. Annoying.
if you properly configure your PS5 setup; the system auto updates when you're not using it, the games are updated automatically. The only thing is the controller firmware update which happens maybe twice a year if at all.
I've bought a PS5 and got myself the PS+ subscriptions, and have been having a blast with pickup and play games, all different genres, and the instant resume from sleep also lends to quick gaming sessions.
I play less, but if I play, I take my time. Rimworld or Elite Dangerous are what I keep coming back to for different reasons.
Don't want that quick shot. I need it slow and serious.
