Why hello there, I'm Ross, creator of this site.
The site was created because all I have time to do these days is play short games if I want to actually complete anything, and have been doing this for 6 or so years, so thought I would post some reviews up of what games I have played, and some general gaming articles.
I have loved gaming since the Amiga 500 days, and have had pretty much every single system at one point in time. I used to have all the time in the world to play longer games, but life had got a hold of me, and apparently being a husband and father is more important. I kind of disagree, but still...
And of course I have other hobbies too..
All reviews of the video games on my site you can finish in five hours or less, according to How Long To Beat website, as these are the ones I generally play now, and I only count the main story as ain't got time for pointless extras, as life itself is one big boss fight extra anyway, right?
I went a while without gaming too. I'd buy games, but never start anything, or if I did I'd go back to the game weeks later and forget what the hell was happening in the game or what the controls were. Since I started playing shorter games around 6 years ago, I have seen the end screen of so many more games then I had in all my gaming years before that, and mentally it helps too only committing to playing short games.
This blog is for:
- Busy adults who still want to game without adding a new full-time job.
- Overstimulated humans looking for quick hits of joy, challenge, or existential dread (the fun kind).
- People who maybe feel overwhelmed with gaming a bit.
- Anyone tired of hearing “it gets good after the first 12 hours.”
I own an old PC (1060gb) so any reviews I make for PC games won't take much to run. I also own a Nintendo Switch Lite, Xbox 360 and PS4.
So if you’re looking to rediscover the joy of actually finishing a game without sacrificing your weekend or sanity, you’re in the right place.
