I don't have a ton of time to play video games (mainly I just do not want to spend that much time sedentary) and I certainly don't have time to grind away at a game to progress in a story gradually. I just do not have enough time for that!!

(btw I am not talking about "casual" games with no death / mobile games / etc though those are fine and valid also I suppose, I specifically mean story-based / signle-player campaign games)

props to easy games (the most recent Dragon Quest I'm looking right at you) and games that let you scale the difficulty (especially the ones that let you adjust it on the fly). also easy modes get bonus points for making the worst gamers mad.

    YES LET ME JUST WALK AROUND AND EXPLORE WITHOUT DYING I WANT TO SOAK IN THE WORLD AND SCENERY

    That's what wandering around the landscape that you've strewn with dead monsters is for. Also, it's for getting your heart rate down after a stressful encounter.

    Having a sun-buddy does help make the games considerably easier. I've been playing Elden Ring and love the new feature that lets you post your gold summon sign all over the place with a single click.
