Topic: How many games do you play concurrently?

I'm horrible at staying on one game, and finishing games. I'm playing at least eight games right now, although if you don't play a game for a month, are you will "playing" it all. Like, here's what I'm playing right now.

Darksiders II: I'm moving quickly and will finish soon.

Star Fox Adventures: Also really focusing and will finish soon.

The Outer Wilds: Have played a few hours but set it aside to focus on the two above. It's next on the list you l though.

Red Steel II: Freaking awesome, but I'm having trouble sticking to it. It just takes a while to boot it up from my Wii U.

Star Wars Republic Heroes: Super underrated game, but haven't played in a while.

Wildfire: Lost Access to my PS4 for a while and stop playing. Haven't played in a while, but I would really love to get back to it.

El Hijo: Same as above.

Lunar Silver Star Saga: I play this sporadically.

Attack of the Friday monsters: I'm actually really close to finishing and need to just do it.

Riviera the Promised Land: I can't tell you how many times I've restarted this game. I restarted again recently, but I've definitely realized I need to follow a guide. So I think I'll prioritize this pretty soon considering it is pretty great.

Snowrunner: Turns out that Snowrunner is a puzzle game. It's very good, and I very much enjoy it, but I basically have gotten stuck, so I haven't played it much recently.

There are a few others, but that's probably enough for this thread lol.

Mostly 1 - 2 games in a day, depend on my mood. Sometimes i can play more than 2 games in a day, sometimes not playing games at all.

I'd say about three on the console and one on a handheld. Generally, one super-long game and then a couple other pick-up-and-play types to fill in when I don't have the time for the grind of the super-long game. Right now I'm about 150 hours into Doraemon Story of Seasons, and then I'm also playing Zaccaria Pinball and Puyo Puyo Tetris when I just want an hour or so of fun.

Well, currently I play "The following"

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Bug Fables

Off The Road Unleashed (Super underrated its so fun)

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (offline only)

Part Time Ufo

Dragon Quest Builders 2 Trail

And that's it, I am just now realizing that I play a lot at the same time. 😀

I usually have 2 - 5 active games at any one time I'll go back and forth between with some frequency, and then oodles of inactive games I'll stop playing for months/years and then eventually come back to. I don't really count the latter, though.

I almost always complete everything I start, though. Unless I really hate it. And even then, I'll sometimes still finish it.

At the moment, I'm playing:

• Triangle Strategy (NG+)
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (about a third of the way through the full game)
• Kirby and the Forgotten Land (need to clean up a ton of optional and post-game content)

But I'll probably a couple more games to that list in the meantime.

Oh man. I've realized that I can't play long games any more. My preferred game length is 6 hours. I'm ok with 15. Anything above that has to be extremely convincing. There's just too much to play. And I play on average a couple of hours a day, maybe less. I didn't play anything yesterday.

I didn't even know this existed! Looks super fun.

@Kermit1 how much time have you put into New Horizons? What's the end game? Villager hunting?

I actually have 3 games going on.
CTR nitro fueled: I always seem to play games that I like to use my GameCube controller on at restaurants for some reason and this is one of them.
SM3D all stars: this is even harder mainly because I only play it at a restaurant that I really like in my childhood unfortunately it closes in the winter.
Pokémon legends: this one I actually play with my joy con and I play it where ever. Unfortunately the game eats up battery life like no tomorrow and trying to complete the dex and clear all the side quests and completing all the dex missions are probably gonna take me awhile.

Realistically maybe around 3, usually 2 but. Most of the time I'm flipping through stuff trying to find something to land on. Which usually involves a bunch of games you never complete like Mario Kart, Smash, Civ, Cities Skylines, Dirt etc

Right now I'm playing Middle Earth: Shadow of War and picking that up meant I dropped Arkham Knight which realistically I probably won't finish now. But I've also been playing a bit of Mario Kart 8 since that DLC dripped which will likely turn into Switch Sports soon

Usually 2-4. Of these, I usually have one more "casual" and one larger game (e.g. RPG) that I pick up multiple times a week. I might also be replaying a rather familiar game (usually Pokemon). Anything left over I might pick up once every few weeks or so, or might temporarily be on hold.

My current examples of these are Kirby, Anno: Mutationem, Pokemon Soul Silver, and Horizon Forbidden West, respectively.

Otherwise I have maybe a dozen games that I've started that I intend on continuing at some point.

I play a good 6 games at the same time, tho some tend to go less played them others.

As of right now its: Overwatch, elden ring, fall guys, scott pilgrim, apex legends, pokemon unite a little bit, and much more.

@Gryffin From what my switch says, around 830 hours for acnh. My endgame is getting all my villager's photos

I juggle 1-3 games at once on average, usually 2. They're usually different genres and lengths so I can use one to take a brief break from another if needed. I'm currently juggling Age of Calamity and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond on Switch and am thinking about throwing a 3DS game into the mix.

I usually finish games I start since I know my tastes at this point. The only exceptions are games I'm taking a chance on and decide they aren't for me.

@Tyranexx The only reason I don't finish a game I start is one, I didn't like it (Rare) Or two (The most common) I got caught up playing another game I said I was trying to play for just today LMAO, Its funny really.

@Snatcher I usually don't get caught up in other games that way and stick with what I'm playing lol. Part of it is I don't usually grab games on day 1 and prefer to grab them on discount a bit later.

@Tyranexx Probably what I should have did. Touching Stardew valley right in of my AOC playthrough was the worst thing I could have done LMAO.

@Snatcher Oof. Stardew Valley? Now THERE'S a time sink. I think I'm towards the end of the story mode in my playthrough.

@Tyranexx Ikr? I’m not playing it at the moment til I finish other games but man, when I got on, weeks man, weeks.

It depends on what type of games I'm playing. If it's an involved single-player game, like BOTW, Stardew Valley, or any Metroidvania, that is usually exclusively what I play. However, if it's a lighter sort of game or one that isn't necessarily captivating me, then I tend to play two at a time. For example, right now I'm playing both Kirby and Lego Skywalker Saga. Neither game is super in-depth or time-consuming, so I switch back and forth between them.
