As a 30 year old male I find the amount of time I have for ‘gaming’ growing shorter and shorter. Its not that I don’t want to play games actually quite the opposite I would love to play more but, unfortunately life tends to get in the way.

Gone are the days of sitting for 6+ hours (some time much more back in the day ;D) and tackling the latest single player story. I look at games like The Witcher 3 now and while I own it, I just can’t dedicate time it deserves. Born in 1988 I am part of the generation where games and gaming have been part of my life since I was born. I first played my Dads Sega Master System before getting my own PS1 when it was released back in 1994. Is this why my Dad stopped gaming, he just didn’t have the time being a father, having job, husband etc.

I am constantly on the hunt for solid story based, single player games with a main storyline less that 20 hours that I can complete with only 30-40min here and there. I guess this is why we have seen this rise of the Battle Royale and MOBA genre where they provide 15-20min of high intensity, high octane gameplay allowing you to play 2-3 games/rounds and be satisfied.

With the largest demographic of gamers being 26-35 years of age surely I can’t be the only one that struggles to find time to play games while holding down a full-time job, be a husband and maintain an active social life?

If anyone is aware of short single player games let me know!
