I think this video showcases an interesting aspect of gaming that I never really thought about before. In their case, they play more games for a shorter amount of time vs spending a large portion of their time in few games.

Personally I’m on the side of spending more of my time in a select number of games. By far I have put no less then 3000-4000 hours in Minecraft. Logged by Steam, I got 1300+ hours in both GTA V and American Truck Simulator

More recently I’ve been really into Rocket League and Trackmania. These games are notable because I am constantly working to improve and get better at the game. As much replay-ability as much I find enjoyment in succeeding.

From time to time though, I do really enjoy getting into shorter, more story based games. Great examples being Portal 2, Road96, and Firewatch. What kind of gamer are you?

    I tend to primarily play JRPGs and RPGs in general. The Xeno games have resonated strongly with me (all Xenoblade and Xenogears) over the past few years and each game has taken 100-200 hours each to complete. Hard to resist exploring the worlds in games like this and even the silliest sidequests can end up being a blast (and take you to unexplored areas of the map).
