Games that respect your time.

When I was kid, I could sit in front of TV for hours and sink a day or two away into a game and have no problem having to start the game over from the beginning. Time meant nothing to me and I wasted it like it was a near infinite resource.

Now I am a parent and ain't got time for some of the nonsense that's in games nowadays. I'm lucky if I have even an hour to play each night.

A good example: Forza Horizon 5 allows you to switch cars mid game without traveling back to a house. That to me is a huge time saver compared to the recent NFS games.

Contrarily, Forza Motorsport (2023) makes you do qualifications every round. While realistic, a big time sink.

That said, what are some of your favorite games that have respect for your limited time?

Hijacking this comment for recommending my two favorite rouge lites Noita and Balatro. Both have the possibility to save and quit at any time.

And Balatro doesn't take so long for a run like StS.
