This is one of those games that I would have chewed on all summer back when I didn’t have responsibilities to tend to.

To those who might consider themselves “well-rounded” with careers and families and sports etc. Does that magic and sense of free time to dig deep into something ever come back?

It depends how you define that magic & sense.

I definitely have to pick & choose which games I delve into more carefully. I basically only play 10/10 new games & classics now.

Also, if given a choice between a 5-7h game, and a 15-20h game I'll pick the shorter one.

Then I also set time aside in my weekly calendar to game. I try to have it be a mindful, rather than mindless activity.

Yes, I rarely touch current games outside of very specific titles. I'm mostly spending my time playing games that have proven to be worth it on a community level for at least 6-12 months, and spending a lot of time on classic games that I missed because I was too busy.

On game length, I also default to shorter experiences. How Long to Beat [0] is perfect for that.
