Hello, I just finished the game I was playing (Book of Demons, would give it 7/10) and I'm looking what to play next.

I don't have as much time for gaming as I used to (job, children, etc.) so I usually have about an hour at the evening to play. Some games are tough to fit into this because it breaks immersion too much and everyday having to remember when I left just to quit soon after is just... tedious? Wrong? Idk and I don't want to spoil good games with it.

My friend gifted me Disco Elysium for christmas and it looks ver promising. But is it possible to squeeze it into this schedule? Or does it break the game too much? Thank you for your input.

It depends how long between sessions. The game is a lot like a book - you can read (play) for an hour at a time and put the book (game) down anytime then pickup where you left off. It might be a problem if you haven't played for a few weeks as you might forget where you are in the story.

I manage to play usually about 4 nights a week, so about day or two between sessions. This should be okay.

Reading all the comments, it looks like DE might be great pick for this interrupted play through. Glad to hear that, because everyone says it's a great game.

Even though I have games like Skyrim or Kingdom Come at my account, it's almost impossible to dig into those with this kind of gaming schedule. LA Noire was really great game for this.
